Cells
What is the building block of living things?
Cells
This physical feature helps a giraffe reach leaves high in trees.
What is a long neck?
This is the process cells use to release energy from food.
What is cellular respiration?
his type of cell has a cell wall and chloroplasts to help make food.
What is a plant cell?
This is the body’s use of molecules in chemical reactions for energy and growth.
What is metabolism?
What is a group of cells called?
tissue
Eye color and hair color are examples of these.
What are traits?
This sugar is used by cells to make energy.
What is glucose?
This type of cell does NOT have a cell wall or chloroplasts.
What is an animal cell?
These small building blocks are used by humans to build specific proteins needed by the body.
What are amino acids?
What are the differences between an animal cell and a plant cell?
plant cell has a cell wall and chloroplast and animal cells don’t

What are proteins?
What is the role of the nucleus?
Controls the cell & stores DNA
This structure made of DNA helps pass characteristics from parents to offspring.
What are chromosomes?
This gas is needed during cellular respiration.
What is oxygen?
this type of cell is found in humans and other animals.
What is an animal cell?

This jelly-like substance fills the cell and holds organelles in place.
What is cytoplasm?
A gene is
A section of DNA that gives instructions for a trait.
Cellular respiration helps organisms maintain this essential life function.
What is energy production?
This type of cell usually has a large central vacuole for storing water.
What is a plant cell?
This part of the cell is where glucose is used during cellular respiration to produce energy.
