Cells and Organelles
what is the smallest unit of life?
cell
what is the process that creates energy in your body?
cellular respiration
What two body systems are interacting in this example?: Your brain involuntary controls heartbeat
Nervous and Circulatory System
What is the smallest unit of life?
a cell
The organ responsible for pumping blood in the circulatory system
The heart
Which organelle is an outer layer that controls what comes in and out of a cell?
cell membrane
What is the name of the special cells located within the lungs that pass oxygen onto the red blood cells and receive carbon dioxide and water vapor in return?
The Alveoli
What two body systems are interacting in this example?: You eat an orange it is broken down in your stomach and absorbed into your bloodstream to deliver glucose to your cells.
Digestive and Circulatory
connective tissue is made of specialized units called
cells
The organ responsible for inhaling oxygen and exhaling carbon dioxide in the respiratory system
The lungs
The organelle that stores the organism's DNA
the nucleus
What is the difference between arteries and veins?
Arteries carry blood away from the heart, veins carry blood into the heart.
What two body systems are interacting in this example?: You breathe in oxygen and its transported into your blood to be delivered to cells.
Respiratory and Circulatory System
Give me an example of an organ that is made of cardiac muscle tissue.
The heart
The organ responsible for filtering blood of waste in the urinary system
The kidneys
The organelle where cellular respiration takes place
mitochondria
What are the products made in cellular respiration?
energy, water, and co2
What THREE body systems are interacting in this example?: You walk across a room.
Nervous, muscular, and skeletal
Give me an example of an organ made of smooth muscle tissue.
Accepted answers:
Whole digestive Tract: Mouth, Esophagus, Stomach, Small Intestine, Large Intestine
Bladder
Uterus
This organ is responsible for almost 100% of nutrient absorption in the digestive system
The small intestine / villi
What are the 3 organelles ONLY found in plants?
chloroplast, cell wall, large central vacuole
what are the reactants for cellular respiration?
oxygen and glucose
What two body systems are interacting in this example?: Your artery drops off blood to your kidneys to filter the blood of waste.
Circulatory and Urinary System
From most complex to simplest tell me biological organization starting with organism and ending in organelle.
organism, organ system, organ, tissue, cell, organelle
This organ is a muscle located under the lungs responsible for assisting the body in breathing by contracting to form a vacuum pulling oxygen in.
The Diaphragm
