Cell Function
Converts oxygen and nutrients into energy. AKA the powerhouse
What is the mitochondria?
Chloroplasts collect sunlight in plant cells. It converts sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water into sugar for the plant to “eat” and oxygen
What is photosynthesis?
The different structures inside a cell that each have different jobs or functions to complete within the cell.
What are organelles?
The basic unit of life
What is a cell?
Stores the DNA and coordinates the cells activities, basically the brain of the cell
What is the nucleus?
When the mitochondria breaks down food molecules (sugar) to produce energy for the cell to use to survive.
What is cellular respiration?
Many-celled, several cells working together to make up one organism and keep it alive.
Not all of the cells have to look the same! There are a variety of cells. Ex: animals, plants, fungi
What is multicellular?
All cells come from
What are pre-existing cells?
Surrounds and protects the cell, acts a barrier for what can and cannot get into the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
The diffusion of water molecules across the selectively permeable membrane
What is osmosis?
Name for living things. Name for nonliving things.
What is Biotic and Abiotic?
1. Composed of one or more cells
2. Maintain homeostasis
3. Have a metabolism
4. Respond to stimuli
5. Adapt
6. Grow
7.Reproduce
What are the criteria for life?
Structure is found in plant cells but NOT animal cells and creates energy from sunlight through photosynthesis, makes plants green.
What is chloroplast?
The process by which molecules move from a higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.
What is diffusion?
The outer layer that provides structure and support to plant cells ONLY.
What is the cell wall?
1. All living things are made of cells.
2. Cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things.
3. All new cells are produced from existing cells.
The jelly-like substance inside the cell
What is cytoplasm?
The movement of molecules across a selectively permeable cell membrane. A selectively permeable membrane has holes that allow liquids and gases to pass through it freely.
What is active transport?
Organelles ⟶ Cells ⟶ Tissues ⟶ Organs ⟶ Organ System
What are the levels of organization of cells?
An English scientist who discovered cells while studying a piece of cork creating the microscope
Who is Robert Hooke?
