Hierarchy of Life
Two or more atoms make this level of the hierarchy of life.
List one component of the cell theory.
Any of the three correct components will be accepted.
This organelle can be called the storage tank. It holds fluids, nutrients, and waste for the cell.
What is the vacuole?
This organelle looks like a rigid box in model pictures and under a microscope due to its rigid cell wall.
What are plant cells?
This type of cell does not have a nucleus or membrane bound organelles.
What is a prokaryote?
The heart is an example of this part of the hierarchy.
What is a organ?
List one component of the cell theory.
Any of the remaining two components will be accepted.
This organelle is the site of respiration in the cell. It makes energy.
What is mitochondria?
This organelle keeps nutrients and molecules the cell does not need when the cell is in an environment that is too salty.
What is the cell membrane?
This type of cell does have a nucleus and membrane bound organelles.
What is eukaryotic?
This part of the hierarchy is the smallest part of living and non-living things alike. All matter is made up of these.
What is an atom?
List one componenet of the cell theory.
The remaining componenet will be accepted.
This organelle is like the brain of the cell it controls and communicates with all of the other organelles to maintain homeostasis.
What is the nucleus?
Any living thing (including cells) keeping their internal environment constant and stable while the external environment changes.
What is homeostasis?
This type of cell contains their DNA in their nucleus.
What is eukaryotic, plant, or animal.
This part of the hierarchy is the smallest unit of life.
What is a cell?
Scientists like Hooke used this tool to discover cells inside of things like plant based cork or teeth scrapings.
What is a microscope?
This organelle holds the other organelles in place inside of the cell.
What is the cytoplasm?
This organelle is in ALL cells.
This type of organelle is only in plant cells.
What is chloroplast or cell wall?
What is atoms, molecules, cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, organisms.
Cells come from pre-existing cells.
This organelle controls what goes in and out of the cell to maintain homeostasis.
What is the cell membrane?
Cells repair and grow new cells in order to maintain this.
What is homeostasis?
The vacuole is different in plant and animal cells in this way.
What is plant cells have one large vacuole and animal cells have many small vacuoles?
