The powerhouse of the cell
What is the mitochondria?
The building blocks of life
What are cells?
The control center of the cell that contains the DNA/chromosomes
What is the nucleus?
When an organism is made of more than one cell
What is multicellular?
When an organism is made of only one cell
What is unicellular?
Anything living
What is an organism?
Made of cells, grow/develop, respond to stimuli, consume energy to live, and reproduce
What are the requirements for life?
Plant, animal, fungus, protist, archaebacteria, and eubacteria
What are the kingdoms?
A group of organisms that can reproduce to create organisms that are also able to reproduce
What is a species?
Parts of cells that perform functions within the cell
What are organelles?
When an organism gets its energy by eating other organisms
What is a heterotroph?
Jelly-like substance that fills the cell and maintains structure
What is cytoplasm?
Anything that causes a reaction in an organism
What are stimuli?
When an organism makes its own energy using sunlight, CO2, and water
What is an autotroph?
Protein factories in a cell
What are ribosomes?
What are eubacteria?
The multi-step process in which a plant, animal, fungus, or protist cell divides to produce two new cells
What is mitosis?
The packaging, sorting, and distributing system within the cell
What are Golgi Bodies?
Organisms that are multicellular, heterotrophs, and include vertebrates and invertebrates
What are animals?
Organisms that are multicellular with cell walls, autotrophs, and can reproduce sexually or asexually
What are plants?
Unicellular organisms that live in extreme environments, like volcanoes and water that is very salty or acidic
What are archaebacteria?
The simple process where a bacteria cell divides and produces two new bacteria cells
What is binary fission?
Identifying an organism by its genus and species
What is binomial nomenclature?
The transport system within a cell
What is the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)?
The garbage/recycling facility within cells that breaks-down food and waste
