What is a mitochondria?
100
This cell is in charge of controlling cell functions and contains DNA.
What is the nucleus?
100
Without this domain of life living inside and outside of our bodies, we could not live!
What is Bacteria?
100
It's the one of these that is the smallest: an animal cell, a plant cell, a bacterial cell, a virus.
What is a virus.
100
This is the title of the rap song about cells that Lewis played on the second day of the unit.
What is "Cells, cells, they're made of organelles"?
200
It's the gel-like substance shown here in blue-green.
What is the cytoplasm?
200
This part of the cell turns food into energy.
What are mitochondria?
200
This domain of life is often found in extreme environments.
What is Archaea?
200
Some scientists believe this organelle used to be a type of bacteria, since they are about the same size and shape.
What is a mitochondria or a chloroplast?
200
This is the name of the turtle that lives in this classroom.
Who is Joaquín?
300
What is a Golgi body?
300
This organelle uses energy from sunlight to create food.
What are chloroplasts?
300
This domain of life contains all organisms made of multiple cells, including plants, animals, and fungi.
What is Eukarya?
300
Even in our scale model where the cell is blown up 100,000 times, the thickness of this outer layer of every cell would be so thin you couldn't see it!
What is the cell membrane?
300
This is Lewis's second name.
What is David.
400
What is the endoplasmic reticulum?
400
This organelle is where proteins are made.
What are ribosomes (or rough edoplasmic reticulum, where many ribosomes are found)?
400
This is the one-celled domain of life that is most closely related to Eukarya.
What is Archaea?
400
This is the largest organelle in eukaryotic cells, making up almost 50% of a typical cell's volume.
What is the nucleus?
400
This is the year MFS was founded.
What is 1951?
500
It's the big blue thing in this picture.
What is a vacuole?
500
This organelle cleans up the cell, destroying unwanted molecules to be recycled.
What are lysosomes or peroxisomes?
500
This domain of life makes substances that can be used as antibiotics.
What are Bacteria and Eukarya?
500
These are the two things we calculated when determining how quickly a liquid can diffuse into an object, such as vinegar diffusing into ouru agar cubes.
What are surface area and volume?
500
This is the current MFS teacher who has worked at the school the longest.
Who is Melody?
