Characteristics of Life
It is the smallest unit of life.
What is a cell?
It is what cells are mostly made of.
What is water?
This cell type has no membrane-bound nucleus and other organelles. Bacteria are the only example of this cell type.
What is a prokaryotic cell?
This organelle is called the powerhouse of the cell. It provides the cell with the ATP it needs to perform its functions and activities.
What is mitochondrion?
This fills the space inside a cell. It is semi-fluid and is composed of water and dissolved materials.
What is cytoplasm?
It means made up of only one cell.
What is unicellular?
Simple, compound, light, electron and transmission are all terms that relate to it.
What is a microscope?
This type of cell contains a membrane-bound nucleus and organelles. It is found in plants, animals, fungi, and protists.
What is a eukaryotic cell?
These are small structures that make protein. Some are free-floating and some are attached to the ER.
What are ribosomes?
This organelle contains the genetic information of eukaryotic cells. It directs all cell processes.
What is nucleus?
It is a thing that has all the characteristics of life.
What is an organism?
Genus name + species name
What makes up a scientific name?
He was the German doctor who said that cells come from preexisting cells.
Who is Rudolf Virchow?
This organelle is a series of interconnected passageways from the nucleus throughout most of the cytoplasm. Proteins and lipids are made here. There are two varieties: 'S' and 'R'.
What is endoplasmic reticulum?
This organelle looks like stacked pancakes. It prepares proteins for their specific roles and packages them in vesicles.
What is Golgi apparatus?
It is the ability to maintain steady internal conditions when outside conditions change.
What is homeostasis?
It is the branch of science concerned with classification, especially of organisms.
What is taxonomy?
These are the four macromolecules.
What are proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and carbohydrates?
This organelle is found only in animal cells. It is made of microtubules and is thought to play a role in cell division.
What are centrioles?
This organelle may contain enzymes that aid in digestion and removal of wastes. It can digest worn out cell parts and plays a role in defending the cell from infection.
What are lysosomes?
Name all the seven characteristics of life.
1.Cellular organization; 2.Reproduction; 3.Growth and development; 4.Response to stimuli; 5.Homeostasis; 6.Use of energy; 7.Adaptation and evolution
Name the eight levels of classification in order.
Domain - Kingdom - Phylum - Class - Order - Family - Genus - Species
Name the three parts of the cell theory.
1. All living things are made of cells. 2. Cells are the basic unit of life. 3. Cells only come from preexisting cells.
These structures are used for cell movement. The first one is long but few, and the second one are short but numerous.
What are flagella and cilia?
These are the organelles that are found in a plant cell but not in an animal cell.
What are cell wall and chloroplasts?
