Parts of a Cell
This part of the cell contains DNA and controls cell functions.
What is the nucleus?
True or False plant cells have addition to the cell membrane
True! Plant cells have a cell wall in addition to a cell membrane
This is the smallest unit of life in all living organisms.
What is a cell?
The small black dots are
Ribosomes
True or False. should all living things not be able to grow over time?
False, all living things should be able to grow over time
This gel-like substance inside the cell holds the organelles in place. Also, chemical reactions take place there.
What is the cytoplasm?
True or false animal cells also have addition to the cell membrane
False, animal cells have only a cell membrane
What are the 7 characteristics of life?
Cellular organization, the ability to reproduce, growth & development, energy use, homeostasis, response to their environment, and the ability to adapt.
The big round circle in the center is
Nucleus
should every living thing have a stable body temp?
yes
Known as the "powerhouse" of the cell, this organelle produces energy.
What is the mitochondria?
What do Plant cells do with their cell wall?
Plants use cell walls to provide structure to the plant
Two or more tissues that work together to perform a specific function form this.
What is an organ?
A round oval shape is
Mitochondria
true or false, is metabolizing energy required to be a living thing?
true
This part of the cell acts as a protective barrier, controlling what enters and exits the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
What do animal cells do?
They mainly involved in the transportation of water, oxygen and other soluble substances through their cell membranes.
What is a Organelle?
It is a subcellular structure that has one or more specific jobs to perform in the cell
A thick colorless solution that fills in each cell is
Cytoplasm
true or false, all living things consist of no cells.
false, all living things consist of one or more cells.
What is Ribosomes?
Read messages from the nucleus to build proteins
What do Plant cells do?
Plant cells can harness the energy of the Sun, store it in the chemical bonds of sugar and use it later.
This is a complete living thing that can perform all life processes on its own.
What is an organism?
A large lace-like sac made up of a network of flat sacs, tubules, and empty spaces
Endoplasmic Reticulum
do living things have self generated and self sustaining actions?
yes
