What is a cell?

100
The organelle that stores genetic material.
What is the nucleus?
100
This structure is found in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells; the 'doorman' of the cell
What is a cell membrane?
100
A group of cells that perform a common function.
What is a tissue?
100
Must always be testable.
What is a hypothesis?
200
An organism maintaining its internal conditions.
What is homeostasis?
200
The organelle that stores food.
What is a vacuole?
200
Contains membrane-bound organelles.
What is a eukaryotic cell?
200
A group of tissues that perform the same function.
What is an organ?
200
The variable that is changed, or manipulated, in an experiment.
What is an independent variable?
300

This characteristic of life allows organisms to maintain a stable internal environment despite external changes.

What is homeostasis?

300
An organelle found in plants that helps keep its structure.
What is the cell wall?
300
Bacteria is an example of this type of cell.
What is a prokaryotic cell?
300
A group of organs that perform the same function.
What is an organ system?
300
Descriptive data such as color, smell, or texture.
What is qualitative data?
400
The change over time in organisms.
What is biological evolution?
400
The material that fills the space inside the cell.

400
Contains a nucleus.
What is a eukaryotic cell?
400
A complete living thing.
What is an organism?
400
Used to compare the other variables to in an experiment.
What is the control group?
500
A characteristic of life in which traits are passed down from generation to generation.
What is reproduction?
500
The organelle known as the 'powerhouse' of the cell; site of cellular respiration.
What is mitochondria?
500
This type of cell contains ribosomes.
What is a eukaryotic and a prokaryotic cell?
500
An organism containing more than one cell.
