Cell Basics
The smallest unit that can carry out all functions of life.
What is a cell?
This organelle controls basic cell functions and contains DNA.
What is the nucleus?
The simplest, most basic level in the organization sequence.
What is a cell?
This system pumps blood to transport oxygen, nutrients, and waste throughout the body.
What is the Circulatory system?
When feeling stressed about a pop quiz, your appetite disappears and you feel "butterflies" in your stomach. These TWO systems are interacting.
What are the Nervous system and Digestive system?
Two materials/inputs that cells must take in order to grow, divide, and stay alive.
What are energy and nutrients?
These small structures are the site where proteins are made in the cell.
What are ribosomes?
The correct order of levels of organization from simplest to most complex.
What is Cell → Tissue → Organ → Organ System → Organism?
This system takes in oxygen gas and releases carbon dioxide.
What is the Respiratory system?
When a dodgeball flies toward your head, your brain signals your muscles to duck while your skull protects your brain. These TWO systems provide the protection.
What are the Nervous system and Skeletal system?
These two organelles are found in plant cells but NOT in animal cells.
What are the cella wall and chloroplast? or langer central vacuole?
The organelle where cellular respiration takes place to release energy for the cell.
What is the mitochondria?
A group of similar cells working together to perform a specific function.
What is a Tissue?
This system provides structural framework, protects inner organs, and produces blood cells in marrow.
What is the Skeletal system?
After salty food is digested, extra sodium is filtered out of the blood. These TWO systems are working together.
What are the Digestive system and Excretory / Circulatory systems?
This cell structure acts as a outer boundary controlling what enters and exits the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
This organelle absorbs light energy to perform photosynthesis.
What is the chloroplast?
In plants, a leaf or a root represents this level of organization.
What is an Organ?
This system detects stimuli, transmits electrical signals, and controls body activities.
What is the Nervous system?
When inner ear nerves detect a loss of balance, leg muscles adjust bones to prevent a fall. These TWO systems interact to adjust movement.
What are the Nervous system and Muscular / Skeletal systems?
The clear, jelly-like material that fills up the interior of the cell.
What is cytoplasm?
This organelle folds, modifies, and transports proteins as well as builds lipids
What is the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)?
The highest, most complex level of organization that represents a complete living individual.
What is an Organism?
This system acts as a protective outer barrier against injuries and helps regulate body temperature.
What is the Integumentary system?
This process describes how body systems work together to maintain internal stability and balance.
What is Homeostasis?
