Block 1
An organelle found in plant cells that captures energy from sunlight and turns it into energy for food.
Chloroplast
A tiny cell structure that carries out a specific function within the cell.
Organelle
Only found in animal cells. They clean up waste and break down old or damaged parts of the cell.
Lysosomes
A sac-like organelle that stores water, food, and other organelles.
Vacuole
A thin, flexible layer that surrounds a cell and controls which substances pass into and out of the cell.
Cell Membrane
Features that help to identify something.
Characteristics
It packages and ships materials out of the cell.
Golgi Apparatus
An organelle that serves as the site for protein synthesis.
Ribosomes
The condition in which an organism’s internal environment is kept stable in spite of changes in the external environment.
Homeostasis
The mistaken idea that living things arise from nonliving sources.
Spontaneous Generation
Bacteria are made up of a single cell. T/F
True
Unicellular means consisting of multiple cells. T/F
False
Plant or Animal cells. They have a nucleus and a cell membrane.
Eukaryotic cells
Organisms that create their own food are called Producers. T/F
True
Unicellular/single-celled. They have a nucleus but no cell membrane
Prokaryotic cells
Half of human blood is made up of water. T/F
True
All organisms are made up of ________.
Cells
The ______ is the powerhouse of the cell.
a.Cell Wall b.Nucleus c.Nucleolus d.Mitochondria
Mitochondria
The ______ is like the control center of the cell. a.Ribosomes b.Nucleus c.Cell Membrane d.Vacuoles
Nucleus
Which one of these things would be considered a consumer? a. a tree b. a plant c. a lion d. some bacteria
a lion
Why is homeostasis important for all living things?
It helps a person maintain stable internal conditions and helps them adapt to their environment.
An example would be when it’s hot outside and a person sweats to cool down. Sweating helps prevent the body from overheating and helps them to maintain homeostasis.
The outermost layer of a plant cell.
Cell Wall
What is the difference between Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic cells?
Eukaryotic Cells are like plant and animal cells. They are multicellular, have a nucleus, and have a cell membrane.
Prokaryotic Cells are like bacteria. They are unicellular/single-celled. They have a nucleus but no cell membrane.
The structure inside the nucleus.
Nucleolus
The structure that stores water in the cell.
Vacuole
