The Cell System
This "brain" of the cell contains the genetic material (DNA) and acts as the control center for all activities.
What is the nucleus?
This system works with the skeletal system to allow your body to move.
What is the muscular system?
In this state of matter, particles are packed tightly together and only vibrate in place.
What is a solid?
This type of heat transfer requires direct contact between two objects
What is conduction?
When light waves hit a black t-shirt, the energy is taken in by the fabric, which is known as this.
What is absorption?
All _________________ are made of cells.
What is a living thing (organism)?
Your respiratory system brings in oxygen, but this system is responsible for "trucking" that oxygen to the rest of your body.
What is the circulatory system?
When you add enough thermal energy to a liquid, it undergoes this specific phase change to become a gas.
What is evaporation or vaporization?
You feel the warmth of a campfire even without touching the flames because of this type of energy transfer that travels in waves.
What is radiation?
This wave behavior explains why a pencil looks "broken" when you put it in a glass of water.
What is refraction?
This thin, flexible outer layer acts like a "security guard," controlling what enters and exits the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
This term describes the body’s ability to maintain a stable internal environment, like keeping your temperature at 37°C.
What is homeostasis?
This state of matter has no definite shape and no definite volume; its particles fly around freely to fill any space.
What is a gas?
This type of heat transfer occurs through fluids (liquids or gases) when warm material rises and cool material sinks.
What is convection?
If a material allows light to pass through it clearly so that you can see objects on the other side, it is described as this.
What is transparent?
While animal cells are floppy, plant cells have this rigid outer structure that provides support and protection.
What is the cell wall?
A stimulus that the nervous system receives will be followed by a ___________.
What is a response?
This is the temperature at which a solid gains enough energy to turn into a liquid.
What is the melting point?
Materials like wood, plastic, or air that do not allow heat to pass through them easily are called this.
What are insulators?
Sound waves require this (like air, water, or steel) to travel through, whereas light waves do not.
What is a medium/matter?
This is the level of organization that describes a group of similar cells working together to perform a specific function
What is tissue?
These specialized cells in your eyes, ears, and skin pick up information from the environment and send it to your brain.
What are sensory receptors?
This is a measurement of how often the particles within a substance collide with the container they are in.
What is pressure?
If you put a room-temperature spoon into hot soup, the heat will stop moving when the spoon and soup reach this.
This type of material, like wax paper, allows some light through but scatters it so you can't see clearly.
What is translucent?
