Things That Happen
3 Lists and 2 Building Tools
100
This is deoxyribonucleic acid.
What is DNA?
100
This is the "brain" or "command center" of the cell.
What is the nucleus?
100
This is an umbrella term that describes the parts of a cell.
What are organelles?
100
This is how a plant cell makes its food.
What is photosynthesis?
100
This is the most basic building block of life.
What are cells?
200
This is the "skin" of the cell that regulates what comes in and goes out.
What is the cell membrane?
200
This is the gel-like substance that holds the cell together.
What is the cytoplasm?
200
These produce proteins for the cell.
What are ribosomes?
200
This is when a cell splits and produces a new, identical cell.
What is mitosis?
200
These are the three tenets of cell theory.
What are 1. All life is made from cells, 2. All cells are made from other cells, and 3. Cells are the most basic form of life
300
This is the "skin" that keeps the nucleus contained.
What is the nuclear membrane?
300
These are the parts of the cell that transport proteins to the places they are needed.
What are golgi bodies?
300
This can be rough or smooth, depending on if it has ribosomes or not.
What is the endoplasmic reticulum?
300
This is when molecules move from a high concentration to a low concentration.
What is diffusion?
300
This starts with atoms and ends with ecosystems.
What is the ladder of life?
400
These help with the division and structure of the cell, especially during mitosis.
What are centrioles?
400
This contains chemicals that help break down a cell's food.
What is the lysosome?
400
Scientists think that this used to be its own basic cell.
What is the mitochondria?
400
This is the diffusion of water molecules through a semipermeable membrane.
What is osmosis?
400
These are the four needs of life.
What are food, water, homeostasis, and living space?
500
This is a storage container for water, waste, and other things the cell doesn't need to use immediately.
What is the vacuole?
500
This part of the cell creates ribosomes.
What is the nucleolus?
500
These are colloid structures that act as transporters and messengers.
What are globular proteins?
500
This is the process by which a cell converts food into useful energy.
What is respiration?
500
Name the 6 characteristics of life.
What are cellular organization, DNA, energy, growth, response to stimuli, and reproduction?
