Cells & Organelles
This organelle breaks down glucose using oxygen to release energy for the cell.
What is the mitochondrion?
All living things are made of these tiny building blocks.
What are cells?
Put in order from smallest to largest: cells → tissues → organs → this.
What are organ systems?
In a food web, caterpillars get energy directly from plants. This makes them this type of organism.
What is a primary consumer?
Brightly colored flowers attract these animals to help with reproduction.
What are pollinators (insects)?
These two structures are found in plant cells but NOT animal cells.
What are the cell wall and chloroplast?
Two traits ALL living things share are the ability to grow and this.
What is reproduce?
These two body systems work together to deliver oxygen to cells.
What are the respiratory and circulatory systems?
Organisms that make their own food using sunlight are called these.
What are producers?
Dark peppered moths survived pollution because predators couldn’t easily do this.
What is see them?
This organelle controls what enters and leaves the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
Seeing onion root cells under a microscope proves onions are living because they are made of this.
What are cells?
Each cell contains these structures that perform specific jobs.
What are organelles?
When wolves returned to Yellowstone, scavenger populations increased because wolves provided this.
What is a food source (carcasses)?
Beavers increase their population by building dams that help these trees grow.
What are willow trees?
This organelle packages and ships proteins inside the cell.
What is the Golgi complex?
Living things use energy, respond to stimuli, grow, and do this process to make more organisms.
What is reproduce?
Glucose is broken down with oxygen during this process.
What is cellular respiration?
If grass decreases in a food chain, this animal population will decrease due to less food.
What are mice?
When elk decrease, bison have more food because young trees increase. This is an example of this type of ecological change.
What is reduced competition?
In plant cells, this large organelle stores water and helps maintain structure.
What is the large central vacuole?
Organ systems are made of organs, which are made of this level of organization.
What are tissues?
Plants use this process to make glucose using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide.
What is photosynthesis?
Over time, buffalo populations would level off at this maximum population size.
What is carrying capacity?
The environment changed from water to land based on evidence found in these preserved remains.
What are fossils?
