Biological Hierarchy
What is the correct order of living systems?
Cells - Tissues - Organs - Organ systems - Organisms
Which organelle is responsible for making proteins?
Ribosomes
Which organelle is the fluid inside the cell?
Cytoplasm
What is the function of the mitochondria?
To make energy for the cell
What is the difference between the outer boundary of animal cells and plant cells?
Plant cells have a cell wall and animal cells only have a cell membrane
What is the difference between unicellular and multicellular organisms?
Unicellular have 1 cell, multicellular have multiple cells
What is the function of the cell membrane?
It the outer boundary of the cell : regulates what enters and exits the cell
What is the function of the cell wall?
Provides support/outer boundary for the plant cell
What organelle is responsible for creating the ribosomes?
Nucleus or Nucleolus
The rough endoplasmic reticulum contains ribosomes and the smooth endoplasmic reticulum does not contain ribosomes
What is the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?
Prokaryotic cells do NOT have a nucleus, eukaryotic cells DO have a nucleus
Describe the cilia
Hairlike structure that are used for movement
Describe the flagella
long, tail-like structures used in movement
What is the function of the cytoskeleton?
To provide support and structure to the cell
Name 2 things that a plant cell has that animal cells do not have
What is the smallest structural and functional unit of all LIVING things?
Cells
What do chromosomes/chromatin contain?
DNA
Which organelle contains digestive enzymes and breaks things down within the cell?
Lysosomes
Which organelle is used as storage?
Vacuole
Describe the differences between the structural differences (shape) of the animal cell and plant cell
An animal cell is round and flexible, able to form to its specific location. A plant cell is square/rectangle and firm within it's shape
Use a model to show the biological hierarchy
(ex. skin cells, epithelial tissue, skin, integumentary system, human)
Correct answers will differ depending on the answer of the students
Which organelle's function is to package and transport proteins?
Golgi body or golgi apparatus
Endoplasmic reticulum
Which organelle is found only in plant cells and the site of photosynthesis?
Chloroplast
Centrioles are only found in animal cells... what are they used for?
Cell division
