Cell Theory
The fundamental unit of life
What is a cell?
allows nutrients into the cell and keeps wastes outside of the cell
What is the cell membrane?
When a cell makes a new cell with only one parent cell.
The ability of the cell to maintain a stable, balanced internal environment.
The smallest level of organization that serves as the fundamental building blocks of all living organisms.
What is the cellular level?
A collection of facts that scientists know are true about all cells.
What is the Modern Cell Theory?
What is Cytoplasm?
When a parent cell divides into two cells creating a clone of the parent. Each cell will grow to the size of the parent.
What is binary fission?
This function of the cell supplies oxygen to the mitochondria for cellular respiration allowing the organism to breathe.
What is gas exchange?
Epithelial, connective, muscle and nervous are all formed when two or more cells form this level of organization.
What is Tissue?
All living things are made up of.
What are cells?
Power center of the cell. Provides energy (ATP) to the cell.
What is the mitochondria?
The formation of an outgrowth from an organism to form a new cell genetically identical but not the same size.
This function of the cell allows all organisms to create, store and use energy to survive.
What is energy transfer?
When two or more tissue types carry out a specialized task.
What is an organ?
Where all cells come from
What are pre-existing cells?
What is the endoplasmic reticulum?
The process by which a cell replicates its chromosomes and then divides them, producing two identical cells.
What is Mitosis?
The process of moving materials, such as nutrients and waste in and out of the cell across its cell membrane.
What is waste disposal?
Skeletal, muscular, digestive, respiratory, nervous and circulatory are all examples of what level of organization?
The smallest unit that can perform all the processes necessary for life
What is the cell?
Packaging house of cell the cell. Packages, processes and ships out the stuff the cell makes.
What is the Golgi Complex?
Yeast uses this type of asexual reproduciton.
What is budding?
The organism's way of creating the building blocks needed to live and grow.
What is protein building?
The highest and largest level of biological organization.
What is an organism?
