Characteristics of Life
This is the basic unit of all living things
What is cells
This organelle is the control center of the cell and tells the cell what to do
What is the nucleus?
This is the general shape of a plant cell
What is a rectangle?
This is the body system that is responsible for getting nutrients and energy from your food.
What is the digestive system?
This organ is in charge of the nervous system
This is a tool used to determine that living things are made of cells
What is a microscope?
This organelle lets some compounds into and out of the cell and blocks others.
What is the cell membrane?
This is the general shape of an animal cell
What is a blob or circle?
This is the way that the digestive system and circulatory system work together:
What is molecules from food are absorbed into the blood in the small intestine to be carried throughout the body?
These are the types of neurons that tell body parts what to do
What are motor neurons?
This is what happens when iodine comes in contact with starch (think back to our cell membrane lab!)
What is turns from gold to dark purple?
This organelle is responsible for turning food into energy.
What is the mitochondria?
This organelle is responsible for giving the plant cell its rigid shape and supporting it.
What is the cell wall?
These are the levels of organization, from most simple to most complex:
What is cells --> tissues --> organs --> organ systems --> organism
True or false: the brain is involved in a reflex reaction
FALSE! The spinal cord is involved in a reflex reaction
What is plant it to see if it exhibits growth and development. OR What is look at it under a microscope to see if it is made of cells
What is cytoplasm?
This organelle is responsible for performing photosynthesis and contains the chemical chlorophyll.
What is the chloroplast?
This is the reason why heart rate and breathing rate BOTH increase with exercise
What is when we exercise we need more oxygen--our respiratory system and circulatory system work together to get more oxygen to all of our cells?
This is the reason that reflex reactions do not involve complex thinking centers in the brain
What is the reaction would take to long if the brain was involved
These are the six characteristics of life
What are reproduction, made of cells, homeostasis, response to environment, complex chemistry/metabolism, growth and development
Which of the following types of cells perform basic life processes such as growth, reproduction, and metabolism? (Choose all that apply!)
a. Plant Cells
b. Bacteria Cells
c. Animal Cells
What is A, B, and C?
What are the Cell Wall and Chloroplasts.
Name two substances that all organisms must exchange with their environment:
What is oxygen, water, or carbon dioxide?
This is the musical instrument Mr. K plays
What is the saxophone?
