100
The process that creates sugar in a plant.
What is photosynthesis?
100
Cells can be classified into these 2 main groups.
Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic?
100
An example of a prokaryotic organism.
What is a bacteria cell?
100
This idea was proven wrong by many scientists, including Louis Pasteur.
What is spontaneous generation?
100
The smallest unit that can perform the basic activities of life.
What is a cell?
200
The process that creates energy in an organism.
What is cellular respiration?
200
Besides energy, the other 2 needs of life are _________ and ___________.
What is living space and materials?
200
Holds large amounts of water in a plant cell.
What is the central vacuole?
200
The cell theory states that "Every living thing is made of __________ or more ____________.
What is "one", "cells"?
200
Tissues group together to form these.
What are organs?
300
This explains the whole process of cellular respiration in a human, including the details of how the materials enter and leave the body.
We eat food and breath in oxygen. The food is broken down into sugar molecules and enter our cells along with oxygen. They go into the mitochondria where a chemical reaction happens that produces water, carbon dioxide, and the energy required to keep cells functioning. The water can be recycled or released and we breath out the carbon dioxide.
300
Give some examples of how an organism is organized.
What is a body structure organized to meet its daily needs; such as body symmetry, bones to protect inner organs, etc.,?
300
Eukaryotic cells have this.
What is a nucleus and organelles?
300
This explains the theory of spontaneous generation.
What is the idea that cells could appear out of non-living materials, such as earth worms appearing from soil and rain?
300
Many similar cells grouped together create this.
What is a tissue?
400
This is a detailed explanation of why photosynthesis is so important to plants and to us.
What is because photosynthesis creates sugar (food) for the plant to be converted into energy and and it releases oxygen into the air, which we need to breath in to carry out cellular respiration in our own cells.
400
These two materials are absolutely necessary for a human's survival.
What is oxygen and water?
400
The organelle that packages and sorts protein.
What are the golgi bodies?
400
These are the 3 parts to the cell theory.
What is "Every living thing is made of one or more cells. Cells carry out the functions needed to support life. Cells come only from other living cells."?
400
Organs group together to create this.
What is an organ system?
500
This is stored in the bonds between atoms of every molecule.
What is chemical energy?
500
An example of a dog responding to its environment.
What is a dog running to the door when it hears a noise outside? What is a dog hanging around the kitchen when it smells food? (Other examples that are appropriate also)
500
The chemical name for the energy released by the mitochondria.
What is adenosine triphosphate?
500
This explains how L. Pasteur was able to prove that cells only come from other living cells.
What is the chicken broth experiment when he was able to show that cells will not grow when there are no cells to start with.
500
Explain the organization of living things from least complex to most complex.
What is cells make tissues, tissues make organs, organs make organ systems, organ systems working together create the whole organism?
