This is the study of living things and what they can do, how they do it and why they do it.

Biology

100

This organelle is often referred to as the "powerhouse of the cell"

Mitochondria

100

The function of this cell is to absorb sunlight for photosynthesis

Leaf Cells
100

This system includes your brain, spinal cord and nerves.

Nervous System

100

This is our bodies first line of defense against bacteria and viruses

Our Skin

200

We use this mnemonic acronym to remember the Characteristics of Living Things

MR GREEN

200

These organelles are found in plant cells only and are very important in photosynthesis.

Chloroplasts

200

The function of this cell is to carry oxygen around the  body

Red Blood Cells

200

This system involves the mouth, esophagus, stomach and intestines and uses both mechanical (chewing) and chemical (enzymes) processes to break down food

Digestive System

200

This part of the immune system finds and destroys germs like bacteria & viruses.

White Blood Cells

300

There are two types of cells, Prokaryotic cells and _________________

Eukaryotic Cells

300

These tiny organelles make proteins used by the body, some are attached to the E.R.

Ribosomes

300

This cell carry's electrical signals, has a long shape and connections at all ends

Nerve Cells

300

The largest organ in the body (the skin) is part of this body system

The Integumentary System

300

This type of imaging uses powerful magnets to make 3D images of organs and nerves with amazing detail.

MRI

400

Plant Cells are distinguished from animal cells because they have a ___________ shape

Square

400

These organelles are the "clean-up crew" that contain chemicals that breakdown food particles, cell waste and foreign invaders like bacteria.

Lysosomes

400

This cell is large, contains lots of cytoplasm and is to join with a sperm cell

Egg Cell

400

These two systems work together to bring oxygen to your muscles and vital organs

Respiratory and Circulatory Systems

400

Our bodies create these in order to remember germs for faster attacks of future illness

Antibodies

500

In order to see plant and animal cells, we use a tool called a 

Light Microscope

500

The "post office" of the cell, receives proteins from the ER, packages them into vesicles, and distributes them to other parts of the cell. 

Golgi Apparatus
500

This cell is shaped like a finger, and has a large surface area to help absorb water and minerals

Root Hair Cell

500

This system is all about removing physical and metabolic waste from your body.

Excretory System

500

A doctor would give you both of these in order to fight viral infections.

Antivirals and vaccines
