Characteristics of Life
This characteristic is seen when a cell divides or when 2 parents produce a child.
Plant cells are typically this shape.
Rectangular!
This organelle is responsible for letting substances in and out of the cell.
Cell membrane!
In this process, a cell divides into 2 identical daughter cells.
Mitosis!
This word means non-living.
Abiotic!
Although they don't have a nucleus, bacteria still have this, one of the 8 characteristics of life, inside their cell.s
DNA!
Animal cells do not have this organelle that goes around the outside of the cell.
Cell wall!
This organelle might be similar to a water tank or storage closet.
Vacuole!
These organelles would help bring water into a cell and store it.
Cell membrane and vacuole!
A robot is not a living thing because it is not made of these.
Cells!
This characteristic of life is seen when an organism turns away from a bright light.
React/respond to stimuli!
Although both animal and plant cells have this organelle, it looks different in each cell.
Vacuoles!
These are two things that lysosomes help to break down inside animal cells.
Food and waste!
These 2 organelles would help a plant cell metabolize.
Chloroplast and mitochondria!
In a city, this organelle might be a solar panel or a wind turbine.
Mitochondria!
This characteristic of life involves breaking down food to produce energy for life processes.
Metabolism!
This organelle usually appears in animal cells as a small circle with dots inside it.
Lysosome!
Chloroplasts absorb sunlight and use it to produce this substance.
Glucose or sugar!
A white blood cell absorbs viruses and digests them, destroying the virus. These 2 organelles would help with this process.
Cell membrane and lysosomes!
This organelle is most similar to a human stomach.
Lysosomes!
The cell membrane helps with this characteristic of life by allowing substances, like water, oxygen, and salt, to go in and out of the cell.
Homeostasis!
A root cell would probably be different than a leaf cell, because it would be missing this organelle.
Chloroplasts!
If an insect were trapped in a box with no oxygen, this organelle would shut down first.
Mitochondria!
These organelles would be involved when a bacteria cell divides to reproduce.
Cytoplasm, cell membrane, and cell wall!
This word describes plant and animal cells, but not bacteria cells.
Eukaryotic!
