Cells
basic unit of life
Provides usable energy for cellular processes such as growth, cell division, and material transport.
What is mitochondria?
What is reproduction?
large open structure near the middle of a plant cell
what is a vacuole?
Helps organelles move through cell; keeps certain organelles in place
a type of cell without a nucleus
A large structure in a plant cell that stores waste, food, and water.
What is the vacuole?
Living things grow by increasing cell size and/or increasing cell number. Eukaryotes develop as cells divide and develop specialized functions.
What is growth and development?
a small, round structure that can move around the cytoplasm or attach to a different organelle
what is a ribosome?
type of cell with a nucleus
what is a eukaryotic cell?
This part of the cell directs the cell's activities and hold the genetic material.
What is the nucleus?
Living things adjust and respond to changes in their external environments.
What is stimulus and response?
Small, bean shaped structures; many are found in the cell
what are mitochondria?
Makes food for the plant cell
What are chloroplasts?
what do we call a living thing?
what is an organism?
Name the 2 cell parts:
1. flexible barrier of the cell
2. Stiff, rigid layer surrounding the cell
1. what is the cell membrane?
2. what is the cell wall?
Living things need energy for all the processes they perform.
What is use of energy?
Medium-large sized structures that are green in color; many found in a plant cell
what are chloroplasts?
Name 2:
1. Stores food, wastes, and water
2. Protects the inside of the cell from the outside environment
2. What is cell membrane?
According to the Cell Theory, all cells come from what?
What are pre-existing cells?
Name the 2 cell parts:
1. makes, or constructs, proteins for the cell
2. absorbs sunlight to make food through the process of photosynthesis
1. what are ribosomes?
2. what are chloroplasts?
Name the 2 Characteristics of Life: 1. Living things have specialized structures with specialized functions. Eukaryotic organisms are more complex than prokaryotic organisms. 2. Living things maintain stable internal conditions.
1. What is organization?
2. What is homeostasis?
Name the 3 structures:
1. jelly-like fluid
2. stiff, rigid barrier
3. flexible barrier
1. what is cytoplasm?
2. what is cell wall?
3. what is cell membrane?
1. Provides structure and support, and also protects the cell from the outside environment
2. Directs the cell's activities
1. What is the cell wall?
2. What is the nucleus?
