What is 400x?
This organelle controls what enters and exits the cell, acting like a security guard for both plant and animal cells.
What is the cell membrane?
The heart, lungs, and brain are all examples of this level of organization.
What is an organ?
This is the term for the body's and each cell's ability to maintain a stable internal environment even when external conditions change.
What is homeostasis?
Name two sports Ms. K coached this year.
What are swimming and volleyball?
This is the FIRST objective lens a student should always start with when viewing a new slide.
What is 4x?
This organelle packages and ships proteins to where they are needed — inside or outside the cell.
What is the Golgi apparatus?
This is the correct order of the levels of organization in a multicellular organism, from smallest to largest.
What are cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, organism?
When you exercise, your breathing rate increases. This is the body system that signals that change needs to happen.

A scientist discovers a new organism. According to cell theory, these are the only two things we can conclude about it immediately
What is that it is made of cells, and that those cells came from pre-existing cells?
A student is building a plant cell model and needs to add two structures that would NOT appear in their animal cell model. These are the two structures they need.
What are the cell wall and chloroplasts?
This body system filters waste products from the blood and removes them from the body as urine.
What is the excretory system?

These two scientists, working independently with plant and animal tissue in the late 1830s, together concluded that all living things are made of cells.
Who are Matthias Schleiden and Theodor Schwann?
A scientist poisons a cell by destroying all of its mitochondria. This is what would happen to the cell and why no other organelle could compensate.
What is the cell would lose its energy supply (ATP) and eventually die?
The nervous system uses electrical signals for fast responses; this system uses hormones for slower, longer-lasting ones.
What is the endocrine system?
Student runs a fever, sweats, and shivers all in one illness. Name the three systems involved and what each one is doing.
What are the immune (fighting infection), integumentary (sweating to cool), and muscular (shivering to generate heat) systems?
