200
describe any type of cell (use adjectives or descriptive comparisons) THEN explain how it's characteristics help it function.
What is an example of a good answer might be (but can be something else) nerve cell has lots of veiny looking long fibers that branch out, each branch gets thinner and thinner. this helps the brain send signals throughout the body, even to the smallest corners of your body.

300
the levels of organization of a simple organism
What is ... Cell!
300
The difference between a colony and tissue.
What is... tissue is similar cells joined together in an organism to perform a function. colony is single celled organisms that join together to meet the 5 life functions. Each CAN meet the 5 life functions on its own
300
Why don't animal cells have cell walls?
animal cells don't need cell walls for rigidity because animals have exoskeletons or skeletons.

Name one organ system and explain its function. Name at least the main organ associated with that system.
DIGESTIVE: break down food to use as nutrients by the body. (esophagus, stomach, sm. int., lg int., rectum, anus) RESPIRATORY SYSTEM: carries oxygen and picks up carbon dioxide to all cells in the body. (LUNGS, trachea, nose, mouth) CIRCULATORY SYSTEM: pumps blood throughout the body to provide cells with nutrients and oxygen, while picking up carbon dioxide. (HEART, arteries, veins, capillaries) NERVOUS SYSTEM: send signals to every part of the body to perform the necessary functions to survive including responding to stimuli, homeostasis, etc.) (BRAIN, spinal cord) IMMUNE SYSTEM: protects the body against disease and other dangerous foreign bodies. (SPLEEN, LYMPHNODES, thymus, bone marrow) REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM: produces offspring (OVARIES, fallopian tubes, uterus, VAGINA, vulva, mammary glands and breasts OR PENIS, scrotum, TESTICLES, urethra, epididiymis, vas deferens) URINARY SYSTEM: produces, stores and eliminates urine (KIDNEY, bladder, ureter) SKELETAL SYSTEM: support, movement, protection, production of blood cells, storage of minerals and endocrine regulation (BONE)
