Living Organisms
Explain the difference between plants and animals in terms of how they get their food.
Plants make their own food animals have to go find food.
What is the "Power House" of the cell
The Mitochondria
What two types of cells make up the vascular tissue
Xylem and Phloem
What type of cells make up the Stomata?
Guard Cells
What are three types of ground tissue?
Parenchyma, Collenchyma, Sclerenchyma
What is the basic unit of life in all living organisms?
Cells
What is the jello like substance that holds the organelles together
The Cytoplasm
What is the roles of xylem
To transport water up from the roots of the plant to the rest of the plant
When, why, and how does a stomata close?
Night time, because the rate of photosynthesis goes down due to lack of sunlight, and the guard cells have less water in them.
Which ground tissue make sup most of the plant and helps with photosynthesis?
Parenchyma
What do you call an organism with only one cell
Unicellular
Where are the Ribosomes made?
The Nucleolus
What is the role of phloem?
To transport nutrients such as glucose from the leaves of the plant up and down to all parts of the plant.
Where are stomata located on a plant and what is there role?
On the bottom part of leaves and their main role is to help with photosynthesis.
What is the role collenchyma?
To help plants grow and be flexible so that they dont snap.
Name three common characteristics that all living organisms share.
All made of cells or a cell
All need nutrients to survive
Can survive independently
Give an example of a Eukaryotic and a Prokaryotic cell/organism
Eukaryotic: Plant cell, Animal cell
Prokaryotic: Bacteria, Algae
Explain how the structure of xylem vessels helps them efficiently transport water from the roots to the leaves of a plant?
The xylem vessels are mainly hollow so water can pass through them easily and quickly.
What is the role of dermal tissue?
To protect the plant, to help with water conservation, and to help with photosynthesis
Which ground tissue has super hard thick cell walls and makes up parts of the plant that are no longer growing?
Sclerenchyma
How do different levels of organization in living organisms (such as cells, tissues, organs, and systems) work together to keep an organism alive? Provide an example.
Cells make up tissues, tissues make up organs, organs make up organ systems.
Xylem and phloem cells make up vascular tissues, vascular tissues make up the plants vascular system
Name five organelles and name the function of at least three of them.
Mitochondria, chloroplast, golgi body, smooth ER, rough er, ribosomes, lysosomes, cell wall, cell membrane etc.
True or False? Xylem and Phloem are both completely hollow? If you answer false explain why.
False: Phloem has little holes in the cell ending that allow for nutrients and water to go up and down the plant.
What is the waxy coating on the dermal tissue and what kind of cells make up the epidermis?
The waxy coating is the cuticle and the epidermal cells make up the epidermis.
