Cell Parts
Which organelle is found in plant cells but not animal cells?
Cell Wall (and/or) chloroplasts
What is the stage in mitosis where chromosomes begin to be pulled towards the poles by the spindle fibres and centrioles.
Anaphase
What are the three types of muscle found in the human body?
Smooth, skeletal, and cardiac
Which two organ systems are involved in the process of gas exchange?
Circulatory and respiratory systems
You have 15 seconds to list as many types of medical imaging as you can. Whichever group has the most wins the points.
X-Ray, PET Scan, MRI, Ultrasound, Fluoroscopy, CT Scan, nuclear medical imaging, radiotherapy, biophotonics...
What organelle is responsible for transporting ribosomes?
Nucleolus
What is the stage in the cell cycle where a cell finally divides in order to produce two new cells that are completely identical.
Cytokinesis
What is the main function of the flower in a flowering plant?
Explain how the circulatory system and respiratory system work together?
Respiratory system brings in oxygen into the lungs, where is it picked up by the blood from the circulatory system. The heart pumps the oxygenated blood out to the rest of the body. The process repeats continually.
What would happen if the plants were not covered in epidermal tissue?
There would be no protection for the plant. The exchange of gases would not be controlled.
Which part of the cell stores water, salts, and carbohydrates?
Vacuole
What is the stage of the cell cycle that a cell spends most of its time?
Interphase
What organ does the following describe?
A hollow organ that works with the digestive system. It releases enzymes and strong acids that help to break down food to release usable energy.
Stomach
What are the functions of the root system in a plant? (List 3)
Absorb water and nutrients from the ground, store food, anchor the plant into the ground.
List three public health strategies.
Immunization clinics, prevention programs, smoke-free environments, promoting public awareness, screening programs, health education programs
Which specialized cell has the following form and function?
Form
Long ribbon-like shapes; Contain long fibers
Function
Cells contract or shorten for movement
Voluntary Muscle Cells
What is the process of cell division called?
Mitosis
What tissues make up the stem in a plant?
Epidermal tissue, ground tissue, vascular tissue
What organs are included in the shoot system of a plant?
Stem, leaves, flowers, fruits
Why is the muscular system important for the function of the digestive system?
The muscular system will move the materials through the digestive system.
The following organelle, tissue, organ, and organ system have the same function: Cell membrane, epithelial tissue, skin, integumentary. What is the function?
Protects by forming a selective barrier.
If a cell mutates and divides uncontrollably, what is this cell called?
Cancer Cell
What are the differences between veins and arteries? (Name 3 for full points)
Veins carry blood to the heart, arteries carry blood away from the heart. Arteries are thicker than Veins. Veins have valves, arteries do not.
Which system is composed of white blood cells, the thymus, spleen, lymph nodes and vessels, and bone marrow?
Immune System
The supply of blood and oxygen to the heart are blocked (example due to plaque build up in the blood vessels). Therefore, oxygen is cut off from your body and the organs will fail.
