Life Characteristics
All living things are made of these
cells
The life process that uses oxygen and food to make energy
respiration
I'm full of holes
Flexible and thin
I control what gets out
As well as what comes in
cell membrane (plasma membrane)
This type of cell has no nucleus
prokaryotic
This cell has a large central vacuole
plant
Is a seed living or non-living? Give one reason why or why not
Yes, (made of cells, uses energy to grow, etc.)
The process that keeps the body balanced inside
homeostasis
I'm found only in plant cells
I'm as green as can be
I make food for the plant
Using the sun's energy
chloroplast
This type of cell has membrane-bound organelles
eukaryote
This type of cell contains a cytoskeleton
animal
Is a fire living or non-living? Give one reason why or why not
No (not made of cells, cannot reproduce, etc)
These types of organisms make their own food
autotrophs (producers)
Proteins are made here
Even though I'm quite small
You can find me in the cytoplasm
Or attaches to the ER's wall
ribosomes
prokaryote
Does the image show a plant cell or an animal cell? Provide one piece of evidence to support your answer
plant cell (has a cell wall, has a central vacuole)
What is the change in an organism's environment that causes the organism to react?
stimulus
The total of all chemical reactions in the body
metabolism
Since I contain many enzymes
I can digest an injured cell
And can break down a large molecule
(like a protein) into a smaller one as well
lysosomes
This type of cell has circular DNA that is located in the cytoplasm
prokaryote
There is a drought, and a plant cannot get enough water. What happens to the central vacuole in the cell, and what happens to the plant?
central vacole shrinks, plant wilts
What are the two types of reproduction
sexual or asexual reproduction
Nutrition involves 3 steps. What are they?
ingestion, digestion, egestion
I'm a series of tubes
Found throughout the cell
I transport proteins
And other things as well
ER (endoplasmic reticulum)
Does the image show a prokaryote or an eukaryote? Provide one piece of evidence to support your answer
prokaryote (has no nucleus)
What are the three differences between plant cells and animal cells?
Plant cells have a cell wall, animal cells do not
Plant cells have a chloroplast, animal cells do not
Plant cells have larger vacuoles (s) than some animal cells
Animal cells have centrioles and a cytoskeleton, which plant cells do not
