Characteristics of Life
What is the process called when living things make babies or offspring?
Reproduction
Which type of thing can grow, reproduce, and use energy: living or nonliving?
Living
This cell type has a large vacuole.
Plant cells
This organelle is called the “brain” or “control center” of the cell.
Nucleus
What is the smallest level of organization in living things?
Cells
What do living things use to keep their inside environment stable?
Homeostasis
Name something nonliving.
A Rock
A Building
A Shoe
A Toy
Name an organelle that can be found in both animal and plant cells.
Nucleus
Mitochondria
Cell Membrane
Cytoplasm
This organelle makes energy for the cell.
What process occur in this organelle?
Mitochondria
Cellular Respiration
A group of similar cells working together is called this.
Tissue
All living things are made of these tiny building blocks.
Cells
Living things need this to make energy and survive, but nonliving things do not.
What's the characteristic of life word for this?
Metabolism
Plant cells have this tough outer layer that animal cells don’t have.
Cell Wall
This organelle removes and stores waste in the animal cell.
Lysosomes
Different tissues working together form this.
Organs
This means living things change and get bigger over time.
Living things have this inside them that carries their traits.
What type of cell can make its own food using sunlight?
What is this process called?
Plant cells & Photosynthesis
This organelle helps plant cells make food using sunlight.
What process occur in this organelle?
Cholorplasts
Photosynthesis
Organs working together form this higher level of organization.
Organ Systems
When living things react to things around them, it is called this.
Response to stimuli
Nonliving things do not have these, which are the smallest parts of living things.
Cells
What is the reactants and products of cellular respiration?
Glucose + Oxygen -> Carbon Dioxide + Water+ Energy (ATP)
These organelles help clean up the cell by breaking down waste.
Lysosomes
Organ Systems come together together to make...
