Characteristics of Life
Organisms that get their energy from the sun to create food.
What are autotrophs?
The brain of the cell where mitosis begins in
What is nucleus?
These two organelles are found in animal cells, but not plant cells.
What is the cell wall and chloroplast?
What are eukaryotes?
The movement of particles from a high to low concentration.
What is diffusion?
Reproduction that only requires one parent cell.
What is asexual reproduction?
This jello-like substance fills every cell.
What is the cytoplasm?
These organelles help the animal cell divide during mitosis.
What are centrioles?
The only kingdom of life that contains prokaryotic cells.
What is Monera (Bacteria)?
Movement of water across a semipermeable membrane.
What is osmosis?
A gradual change of a population of organisms over time. All living things need to adapt and do this.
What is evolution?
This organelle translates DNA into proteins. It is found scattered in the cytoplasm and attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
What is the ribosome?
This organelle cleans the cell by digesting wastes. Also known as the "Lysol" wipe of the cell.
What is the lysosome?
This kingdom contains trees, grass, and bushes.
What is Plantae?
Cellular reproduction that occurs in the nucleus, resulting in two identical cells.
What is mitosis?
A relatively stable internal environment that all organisms need to maintain.
What is homeostasis?
This organelle creates and transports lipids and hormones. It does not have ribosomes attached to it.
What is the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
This organelle creates and transports proteins. It has ribosomes attached to it.
What is the rough endoplasmic reticulum?
The kingdom that contains mostly unicellular organisms with a nucleus. Some have flagella, cilia, or pseudopods.
What is Protista?
Takes in carbon dioxide, water, and light energy and produces glucose and oxygen.
What is photosynthesis?
The basic unit of life. When an organism is made of one of these, it is called unicellular.
What is a cell?
This is a clump of DNA found in bacteria.
What is the nucleoid?
This organelle is the packaging facility of the cell. It gathers and sorts simple molecules and ships them to their final destination.
What is the golgi body?
What is Fungi?
glucose + oxygen --> carbon dioxide + water + ATP
What is the chemical reaction for cellular respiration?
