All about cells
Explanations
100

Protects and controls what moves in and out of the cell

cell membrane

100

Name the stages in order

interphase, mitosis, cytokinesis

100

All cells must have

DNA

100

How do cells organize into different levels?

similar cells come together to form tissues

different tissues come together to form organs

several organs work together in an organ system

200

Contains all of the genetic information of the cell

DNA

200

The stage when the nucleus divides in two

mitosis

200

Genes control an organism's....

traits

200
How does cancer form?
DNA becomes damaged

The cell changes (mutation)

The mutated cell functions abnormally

The mutated cell divides uncontrollably, may form a tumor

300

Define "cells"

basic building blocks of all living things

300

The stage when the new cells separate from each other, or look like they're pinched in two

cytokinesis

300

Similarities between animal and plant cells

nucleus

cell membrane

ribosomes

mitochondrion

golgi body

endoplasmic reticulum

300

Explain why each organism is unique

Organisms inherit traits from their parents

Traits are determined by genes, which are made of DNA

DNA is in different patterns

Patterns are the code to give the cell instructions, each pattern is unique making each organism unique

400

How many chromosomes are in a "normal" human cell?

46

400

The stage when the cell grows the most

interphase

400

differences between animal and plant cells

animal cells have a vacuole

animal cells have a cell membrane

animal cells have chloroplast

400

How does the complexity of a cell show it was a purposeful design (by God)?

Cells are tiny but have many organelle performing different functions.

In the nucleus there are chromosomes, DNA, and genes which carry the instructions for the cell.

Everything works together so it must have been designed on purpose
