It's ALIVE...
The basic unit of life.
What is the cell?
The part that controls what can enter and leave the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
the scientific theory that all living things are made of cells, that the cell is the basic unit of life, and that all cells come from other cells
What is cell theory?
Cell theory has this many main principles/parts.
What is three?
A nonliving particle that makes copies of itself inside living cells.
What is a virus?
A cell can make more of itself through this process.
What is reproduction?
This part is the "brain of the cell" and contains genetic material (DNA).
What is the nucleus?
having or consisting of multiple cells (more than 1)
What is multicellular?
Scientists learned that there were tiny living things called cells they could not previously see once this was developed.
What is a microscope?
The major reason why a virus is considered to be NON-LIVING.
What is that viruses are not made of cells?
Need this to survive.
What is energy?
Found only in plant cells, this part makes food.
What are chloroplasts?
having or consisting of ONLY ONE single cell
What is unicellular?
Sometimes tiny unicellular organisms are visible without a microscope because of this.
What is a colony of them are together?
(or because there are SO many of them together because you cannot see unicellular organisms unless you have a microscope)
ONE of the two reasons people confuse viruses and bacteria.
What is their..
1. size (both are very small)
2. both can make you sick
Cells use energy to do this.
What is grow and develop?
The function of this part of a cell is similar to a recipe with detailed instructions.
What DNA?
This type of organism is so small you can only see it using a microscope.
What is unicellular?
Cell theory disproved this original idea that mice could come from a dirty shirt.
What is spontaneous generation?
This is how bacteria are classified in terms of size compared to viruses.
What is MACROscopic (because bacteria are BIGGER than viruses).
Cells reproduce by doing this.
What is cell division?
This part is the powerhouse of the cell. (e.g. the cafeteria where you can get energy from food you eat)
What are mitochondria?
a membrane-enclosed structure in a cell that performs a certain function for the cell
What is an organelle?
To find evidence that there are living things, you should ask this question.
Are there any cells there? (because ALL living things are made of cells!)
A virus cannot reproduce on its own (because it's not living). It must use this in order to reproduce.
What is a host cell?
