Intro
A complete living thing
What is an organism?
The man who discovered cells
(bonus points if you tell me how he discovered it)
Who is Robert Hooke? He was looking at cork
The reason a cell is shaped the way it is, is because of its _____
The two types of cell division, and explain the difference
What are mitosis and meiosis? Mitosis results in daughter cells which contain the exact same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Meiosis results in half the number of chromosomes
The largest classification group
What are kingdoms?
The process of birth, growth, reproduction, and death
What is life span/cycle?
Who is Zacharias Jansen?
Name the two organelles found ONLY in plants cell but not in animal cells
What are cell wall and chloroplast?
The body replaces dead skin cells through the process of _____
Putting things with similar characteristics into the same group is known as _____
What is classification?
The name we call organisms that reproduce
What are parents?
The part we look through in a microscope
What is an eyepiece/objective?
Organelle whose purpose is storage
What is a vacuole?

What is a cell?
DNA is found in bundles throughout the nucleus, these bundles are called _____
What are chromosomes?

The six kingdoms
What are Eubacteria, Archaebacteria, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia?
Characteristic which is only true for living things
Made of cells
Explain Theodor Schwann and Matthias Schleiden's observations
The cell theory. Living things are made of cells, nonliving things are not made of cells
Explain photosynthesis
Plant cells use the chlorophyll in the chloroplasts to make food from sunlight
The process which results in FOUR daughter cells from one parent cell, likewise the process which results in TWO daughter cells from one parent cell
Meiosis results in four daughter cells, mitosis results in two daughter cells (T in miTosis stands for TWO daughter cells)
The Swedish scientist who came up with the classification system
Who is Carolus Linnaeus?
