Cell Organelles
The control center of the cell
What is the nucleus?
Euglena and volvox use this structure for movement.
What is the flagella?
This human body system brings oxygen into the body and gets rid of carbon dioxide.
What is the respiratory system?
The powerhouse of the cell where glucose gets broken down and energy (ATP) is released.
What is the mitochondria?
The levels of organization of living things include the following from the smallest to the largest.
What is cells > tissues > organs > organ systems> organism?
The food making factory of a plant cell.
What is the chloroplast?
The paramecium and the amoeba obtain food in what way (metabolism)?
What is a heterotroph (consumer)?
This body system transports materials to and from cells (Hint: The Blood Mobile: oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, hormones, white and red blood cells etc.).
What is the circulatory system?
The sanitation workers for the cell where the cleanup and disinfection of the cell occurs.
What are the lysosomes?
Organisms that belong to this group have a nucleus and membrane bound organelles and include plants, animals and fungi.
What are eukaryotes?
The jellylike material of a cell that holds the organelles in place.
What is the cytoplasm?
The ___________ is a protist with an eyespot and chloroplasts, lives in a colony and can make its own food through photosynthesis.
The _______________ is a protist that can make its own food (if enough sunlight is available) and consume food as needed.
The type of metabolism where an organism can make its food and consume food is called __________________.
What is the volvox?
What is the euglena?
What is mixotrophic?
This body system takes in food, breaks down food into nutrients and removes undigested food.
What is the digestive system?
Specific structures in the cell that have certain jobs to keep the cell alive.
What are organelles?
Organisms that belong to this group do not have a nucleus or membrane bound organelles and include bacteria.
What are prokaryotes?
The storage sacs in the cell for storing water, food and wastes.
What are the vacuoles?
The most complex of the big four protists that moves by cilia and has an oral groove.
What is the paramecium?
These two systems work together to allow the body to move.
What are the skeletal and muscular systems?
The two structures that a plant cell has that an animal cell does not have.
What are the cell wall and the chloroplasts?
The three parts of the cell theory include the following statements:
What is the cell is the basic unit of all living things,
living things are made up of cells and cells come from other cells?
The door to the cell allowing certain items to enter and leave the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
The amoeba has a special structure called the ______________ (false foot) used to capture prey and for movement.
What is the pseudopod?
This system controls all the systems, maintains homeostasis, responds, gathers and interprets information.
What is the nervous system?
The organelle responsible to package materials for the cell.
What is the golgi complex (golgi apparatus)?
The six characteristics of living things include the following:(Hint: Mnemonic Strategy- Can cows eat grass and develop road rage?)
