Unit 3

Conjunction Junction

100

This is an organelle that is VITAL to the process of converting sunlight into Glucose and energy

_Chloroplasts

200

This organelle is known as the "Powerhouse" of the cell. It is the main organelle used in the process of Cellular Respiration

Mitochondria

300

This is the organelle that is responsible for making proteins. 

Ribosomes

400

This organelle is known as the "garbage disposal" of the cell. They break down waste products in the cell.

Lysosome

500

This organelle is the "Control Center" of the cell. It holds genetic information such as DNA or RNA. It directs all activities within the cell.

Nucleus

What Am I?

100

I am a theory. I explain the origin of Eukaryotic cells. I state that organelles, such as the mitochondria and Chloroplasts, were once living organisms but got swallowed by other cells and reproduced with them.

I am the Endosymbiotic Theory

200

I am a type of cell. I contain a large central Vacuole. I am surrounded by a cell membrane as well as a cell wall. 

I am a plant cell

300

I am a process that is needed to survive. I maintain body temperature. Without maintaining me, you won't make it very long. My name literally means "steadily the same." 

I am Homeostasis

400

I am an organelle. In animal cells I am small. In plant cells, I am large and central. I store food and water within the cell

I am a vacuole

500

I am made up of long, whip-like strand. I am responsible for moving, or propelling cells.

Flagella

Vocab

100

Type of cells without a nucleus

prokaryote

200

The cell wall of Fungi is made of this protein. (this gives a 'snapping' sound when the organism is broken)

Chitin

300

Tiny "organs" within cells that perform certain functions

Organelles

400

Broad groups in which ALL living things are classified into. (there are 3 of them)

Domains

500

The cell wall of bacteria is made of this protein.

Peptidoglycan

Royal Family

100

What are the six kingdoms of organisms?

Plantae, Animalia, Protista, Fungi, Archaea, and Bacteria

200

The kingdom in which humans are categorized under

Animalia/Animals

300

The 'miscellaneous' kingdom of organisms

Protista/ Protists

400

What are the 3 Domains of life?

Archaea, Eukarya, and Bacteria

500

This is a diagram that shows a line of ancestry. The higher up you move, the more specific the organism gets.

Endosymbiotic Theory

100

Endosymbiotic theory explains the origin of what kind of cells?

Eukaryotic Cells

200

What two organelles are evidence of Endosymbiotic Theory??

Mitochondria & Chloroplasts

300

Evidence shows that Mitochondria and Chloroplasts used to be free-living ___??

Bacteria

400

Mitochondria and Chloroplast both have their own features similar to other cells. They contain a cell membrane, ribosomes, and they replicate through Binary Fission. What else do these organelles contain that show that there was common ancestry?

Genetic Material (DNA/RNA)

500

What four characteristics do Mitochondria and Chloroplast have that show sufficient evidence for Endosymbiotic Theory?

They contain Ribosomes, genetic material, they are both surrounded by membranes. They also replicate through Binary Fission
