Living vs. Nonliving
When things do not show characteristics of life until they are placed in a suitable environment, they are said to be this.
Dormant
It's the organelle in plant cells that turn energy from the sun into energy for the plant to use.
Chloroplast
This organelle produces energy for the cell. Also known as the "powerhouse of the cell".
Mitochondrion
Gets rid of liquid waste from the body.
Excretory System
The two substances that react to produce energy during aerobic cellular respiration
Oxygen and glucose
It's the condition of being alive and demonstrating all characteristics of life.
Living
It's the semirigid structure that surrounds the cell of plants.
Cell Wall
They are either free-floating or bound to the endoplasmic reticulum and are responsible for assembling amino acids.
Ribosomes
Transports oxygen and glucose to the cells and carbon dioxide and water away from the cells.
Circulatory System
The products of aerobic cellular respiration.
Carbon dioxide, water and energy
If life is to continue, there must be a mechanism for providing a continuous stream of replacements. This is accomplished by ________________________.
Reproduction
It's the green pigment in chloroplasts that captures light energy to make sugar during photosynthesis.
Chlorophyll
It's the control center of the cell and contains the cell's genetic material. (DNA)
Nucleus
Receives information from the environment.
Nervous System
They are the receptors that react to light and responsible for sight.
Photoreceptors
They are the smallest living units and the building blocks of life.
Cells
It's the process that plants use to make energy.
Aerobic cellular respiration
This organelle controls what comes into and out of a cell.
Cell Membrane
Enables the body to move
Muscular System
He coined the term "cell" after viewing a thin slice of cork.
Robert Hooke
They are the 7 characteristics of all living things.
Cellular structure. Must use energy
Must grow/develop. Must adapt/evolve
Must reproduce
Must respond to stimuli
Must maintain homeostasis
List 3 organelles found in plant cells that are not found in animal cells.
Cell Wall
Chloroplasts
Central Vacuole
It's the gel-like fluid where the organelles are found.
Cytoplasm
Uses hormones to communicate with the body.
Endocrine System
The three things stated in Cell Theory
All living things are made up of cells
Cells are the smallest unit of life
Cells come from preexisting cells through a process called cell division.
