General
This branch of science studies life.
What is biology?
This scientist named cells after the monk-like rooms he saw in cork.
Who is Robert Hooke?
This part of a cell holds all the organelles in place and can be compared to jello.
What is cytoplasm?
Is DNA stored in a long or short strand?
These living things make their own food using sunlight, like most plants. They are also called producers in the food chain.
What is an autotroph?
The simplest unit of all living things.
What is the cell?
This scientist discovered that all plants are made of cells.
Who is Matthias Schleiden?
This part of the cell is the security guard and decides who is allowed in and who can go out of the cell.
What is the Cell Membrane?
This part of the cell holds most of the DNA.
What is the nucleus?
These living things get their food from eating something else, like most animals. They are also called consumers in the food chain.
What is a heterotroph?
This theory was proposed in 1839 and one thing it says is that all cells come from cells already in existence.
What is the cell theory?
Using a microscope, this scientist was the first to see bacteria in his mouth and called them ‘animalcules.'
Who is Anon Van Leeuwenhoek?
This is the battery of the cell that makes the energy that cells need to do all their work, like growing, moving, and repairing themselves.
What is mitochondria?
A human body has DNA in about this many cells
Every cell, or trillions of cells
This is the process that plants use to convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to make energy.
What is photosynthesis?
A living thing made of only one cell, for example, bacteria.
What is unicellular?
This scientist discovered that all animals are made of cells.
Who is Theodore Schwann?
This is only found in plant cells and is where photosynthesis takes place. It is green because of the chlorophyll that is stored here.
What is chloroplast?
This is when cells become different kinds of cells with special jobs, like eyes, toes and hair cells.
What is cell differentiation?
These are the two main tubes that plants use in their circulation that move water and food.
What are xylem and phloem?
These are the 8 common characteristics that living things share.
They are 1)grow 2) respond 3)energy 4)waste 5)circulation 6)respiration 7)move 8)reproduction
This scientist discovered that cells do not magically appear, but only come from other cells.
Who is Rudolph Virchow?
This is the cell's refrigerator or garbage can, that stores water, nutrients, and waste. Plant cells usually have one big one that helps the plant stand up by keeping water inside.
What is a vacuole?
The purpose of DNA is
It has all the information for making the organism and all of its traits.
Put these in order from smallest to largest: organ, cell, organism, tissue, system.
cell → tissue → organ → system → organism
