The chemicals of life
This molecules is made from carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen only. I am made up of simple sugars.
What are carbohydrates?
The study of living organisms
What is biology?
I am semipermeable like a tennis net. I only let some things through.
What is the cell membrane?
This is given to fight off a bacterial disease.
What are antibiotics?
I have 3 major functions: support and produce the plant's leaves, it conducts water and nutrient to and from the leaves and roots, and it undergoes photosynthesis.
What is the plant stem?
This molecules does not dissolve well in water. It also stores 2x as much energy as compared to a carbohydrate.
What is a lipid?
This organism consists of a single cell
What is unicellular?
This type of cell is like a one-roomed cabin. I don't have internal membranes to separate structures but there are areas within the cell where processes occur.
What is a prokaryotic cell?
This type of germ is unable to reproduce so technically it's not alive.
What is a virus?
I have 3 major functions: absorb water and nutrients from a plant's surroundings and then transport them to the rest of the plant, act as an anchor to hold the plant in place, and are often used a food storage location.
What is the root of a plant?
These molecules are the most complex and includes our DNA.
What are nucleic acids?
This organism consists of more than one cell.
What is multicellular?
This type of cell has membrane-surrounded organelles that perform specific processes. This is like a multi-roomed house, where each room has a specific job.
What is an eukayrotic cell?
This is the largest part of the mushroom's body and it's hidden underground.
What is the mycelium?
This type of tissue provides movement either controlled or uncontrolled in the body.
What is muscle tissue?
These complex molecules are involved in every chemical reaction that supports life. Our muscles and organs are mostly made up of them.
What are proteins?
Organisms that obtain their nourishment from dead organisms.
What is a saprophyte?
My job in the cell is to provide energy. I am very mighty!
What are mitochondria?
This is the number #1 way to prevent disease. You should do it for 20 seconds.
What is hand washing?
This type of tissue rapidly multiples to replace cells. It also forms protective barriers within the body too.
What is epithelial tissue?
I am involved in the creation, repair, and reproduction of proteins. I made up of a single strand of nucleotides, where as DNA is made from 2 strands bonded together.
What is RNA? (ribonucleic acid)
These organisms have backbones.
What are vertebrates?
I am an organelle in the cell and behaves as the cell's control center. I hold the cell's DNA.
What is the nucleus?
This injection contains parts of a harmful microorganism that is killed or weakened so that it helps the body fight disease.
What are vaccinations?
This type of tissue is designed to conduct signals to and from all parts of the body. It is coordinated in the brain in most animals.
What is nervous tissue?
