Cell Parts

100

This cellular structure controls the movement of matter into and out of the cell

Cell Membrane

200

Known as the "powerhouse", this organelle converts stored energy into a usable form for the cell.

Mitochondria

300

This structure captures energy from sunlight and converts it into stored chemical energy.

Chloroplast

400

This structure provides support for the cell.

Cell Wall

500

These two organelles are not present in animal cells, but are present in plant cells.

Cell wall and Chloroplast

Organization

100

This basic unit represents the least complex level of biological organization.

cell

200

This level of organization is defined as a group of similar cells working together to perform a specific function.

tissue

300

Directly preceding an organ system in complexity, this is a group of different tissues working together (e.g., the stomach).

organ

400

A group of similar tissues working together

Body Systems

100

This body system works closely with the muscular system to send signals to enable movement.

Nervous

200

This critical body system is primarily responsible for bringing essential oxygen into the body through lungs.

Respiratory

300

This system coordinates with the respiratory and digestive systems to deliver oxygen and nutrients throughout the body.

Circulatory

400

This system is mainly responsible for carrying sensory signals to the brain and controlling quick responses.

Nervous

500

This is the critical first biological step in information processing in an organism.

Sensory receptors detect stimulus

Adaptation

100

This is the critical first biological step in information processing in an organism.

Sensory receptor detects stimulus

The fossil record can show us...

if a species became extinct or if it changed and diverisified

Shared embryonic characteristics—like gill slits and tails found in frog, turtle, rabbit, and pig embryos—suggest this about the evolutionary history of vertebrates.
