Characteristics of Life
The characteristic of life in which organisms make copies of themselves.
What is reproduction?
This organelle is the control center of the cell.
What is the nucleus?
It is the simplest level of organization and one of the points of cell theory.
What is a cell (or that cells are the basic unit of life)?
It is the primary organ in the nervous system responsible for interpreting sensory information and giving instructions how to respond.
What is the brain?
How many cells does a living thing have to have to be considered an organism?
What is 1?
The characteristic of life exemplified by tadpoles becoming frogs and seeds becoming trees.
What is growth and development?
This organelle creates food from sunlight and is found only in plants.
What are chloroplasts?
Bacteria, trees, humans, butterflies, and whales are this level of organization.
What is an organism?
It is an organ in the respiratory system.
What is one of the following: lungs, nose, mouth, throat, trachea, bronchi, pharynx, or larynx?
Bacteria, amoeba, and paramecium are examples of this.
What are unicellular organisms (or microorganisms or prokaryotes)?
The characteristic of life in which breathing and photosynthesis use oxygen or carbon dioxide.
What is exchange gases?
This organelle allows water to pass into the cell by osmosis.
What is the cell membrane?
The level of organization between organs and organisms.
What is an organ system?
The heart and veins are part of this system.
What is the circulatory (or cardiovascular) system?
This word means some things can pass through the cell membrane and some things cannot?
What is semipermeable?
The characteristic of life which prevents toxic substances from building up in cells.
What is gets rid of waste?
This organelle gives structure to plants.
What is the cell wall?
According to cell theory, all cells come from this.
What are other cells?
This organ system removes waste from the organism.
What is the excretory system?
These are the two organelles a plant cell has but animal cell does not.
What is a chloroplast and a cell wall?
The characteristic of life in which a body sweats when hot or dangers are sensed.
What is respond to stimulus (or respond to the environment)?
This organelle makes energy for the cell.
What is the mitochondria?
2 or more cells working together, this can be muscle, nervous, connective, or epithelial.
What is tissue?
It is the system that includes the skin, hair, and fingernails, which protects the organism and regulates body temperature.
What is the integumentary system?
He was the first person to document and name cells.
