Cells & Organelles
This is the control center of the cell.
What is the nucleus?
The main goal of cellular respiration.
What is to make energy (ATP)?
This system controls body functions using hormones.
What is the endocrine system?
The main function of the circulatory system.
What is to transport blood and nutrients?
The heart is made mostly of this type of muscle.
What is cardiac muscle?
These are the "powerhouses" that produce energy for the cell.
What are mitochondria?
The organelle where cellular respiration occurs.
What are mitochondria?
The organ responsible for pumping blood.
What is the heart?
These carry blood away from the heart.
What are arteries?
The heart has this many chambers.
What is four?
The jelly-like substance that fills the cell and holds organelles.
What is cytoplasm?
The gas needed for cellular respiration.
What is oxygen?
The main organ of the respiratory system.
What are the lungs?
These tiny blood vessels exchange gases and nutrients.
What are capillaries?
These valves prevent blood from flowing backward.
What are heart valves?
Plant cells have this structure, but animal cells don’t, to maintain shape.
What is the cell wall?
The three main stages: glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and this one.
What is the electron transport chain?
The system that breaks down food into nutrients.
What is the digestive system?
The liquid part of blood that carries nutrients.
What is plasma?
What are heart valves?
What is the left side?
These small structures make proteins inside the cell.
What are ribosomes?
The chemical equation for cellular respiration.
What is C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + ATP?
The brain and spinal cord make up this system.
What is the central nervous system?
The two main loops of circulation.
What are pulmonary and systemic circulation?
The path blood takes through the heart (name the chambers in order).
What is right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle → body?
