Life of the Party
Name the function of life responsible for producing offspring.
Reproduction
Which organelle produces the most ATP?
Mitochondria
Which biomolecule is made of amino acids?
Proteins
What molecule provides immediate usable energy for cells?
ATP
What level comes directly after tissue?
Organ
Explain the difference between nutrition and metabolism.
Nutrition is the intake of food/nutrients; metabolism is all the chemical reactions in the body.
Which organelle contains digestive enzymes?
Lysosome
Name the monomer of carbohydrates.
Monosaccharides
What is the role of enzymes?
Speed up chemical reactions
Name the level of organization made of similar cells working together.
Tissue
A plant bends toward sunlight. Which function of life is being demonstrated?
Response/Sensitivity
Explain why ribosomes are important for survival.
They produce proteins needed for cell function.
Compare simple and complex carbohydrates in terms of energy release.
Required key points:
Explain why enzymes are affected by temperature.
Required key points:
Explain the difference between an organ and an organ system.
Organ = structure with tissues; organ system = multiple organs working together
A student says breathing is the same as respiration. Explain why this is incorrect.
Required key points:
A toxin damages the Golgi apparatus. Predict ONE major effect this would have on the cell.
Required key points:
A marathon runner eats pasta the night before a race. Explain why carbohydrates are useful in this situation.
Required key points:
A student has enough glucose but produces little ATP. Identify ONE organelle and ONE process that may not be functioning correctly.

Place these in order:
Leukocyte, human, endocrine system, alveoli, thymus
Leukocyte → Alveoli → Thymus → Endocrine System → Human
