Cell Theory
Fungi, a cricket, a flower, and a beetle.
What do they all have in common?
They are all made of cells.
This organelle is known as the "powerhouse" of the cell.
The mitochondria.
This organelle is in charge of storage of water and nutrients for the cell.
The vacuole.
This system circulates blood throughout the body which transports nutrients and oxygen.
The circulatory system.
The heart, blood vessels and blood make up which system?
The circulatory system.
What are the building blocks of life?
Cells.
Referred to as "the brain" of the cell, this organelle controls all of the cell's activities.
The nucleus.
These tiny dots inside the cell are in charge of protein synthesis.
The ribosomes.
This system in the control center of your body. It coordinates all the activities of your body.
The nervous system.
The trachea, the lungs, and the diaphragm are all organs in which system?
The respiratory system.
True or false.
All cells living or dead can produce new cells.
False.
The structure controls what goes in and out of the cell.
The cell membrane.
This organelle can be smooth or rough when it is covered in ribosomes and is in charge for delivering material to other parts of the cell.
Endoplasmic Reticulum or ER
This system helps you exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide with the environment.
The respiratory system
The esophagus, stomach, mouth, small intestines, and large intestines are all organs in which system?
The digestive system.
What do all living things have in common?
They are all made of cells.
This structure found in both plant and animal cells is in charge of packaging material to send it OUTSIDE the cell.
The golgi body.
The jelly-like fluid that all organelles float in.
The cytoplasm.
This system removes wastes from your body.
The brain, spinal cord, and nerves are organs in which system?
The nervous system.
What are the three components of cell theory?
1. All living things are made of cells.
2. Cells are the building blocks of life.
3. All cells come from preexisting cells.
Found only in plant cells, this organelle gives the plant cell its shape and provides extra support and protection for the plant cell.
The cell wall.
Found only in a plant cell, this organelle is responsible for making food for the plant through a process called photosynthesis.
The chloroplasts.
This system is responsible for breaking down your food to be used as energy.
The digestive system.
The kidneys and urinary bladder are organs in which system?
The excretory system.
