Basics of Life & Cells & Lab review

Organelles

100

Known as the powerhouse of the cell, this organelle assists in creating energy (ATP)

The Mitochondria

200

This organelle is often referred to as the brain of the cell 

Nucleus 

300

This organelle is semipermeable and allows materials to pass in and out of the cell

Cell Membrane

400

This organelle is only found in plant cells and is a structural layer, just outside the cell membrane. It can be tough, flexible, and sometimes rigid

Cell Wall

500

This organelle is found only in plant cells and is where photosynthesis takes place

Chloroplasts

Characteristics of Life

100

This basic unit of life makes up all living things 

Cell 

200

In order to give rise to a new generation, all living things must

Reproduce

300

As living things reproduce, they pass down this hereditary information to their offspring

DNA

400

Living things obtain this from their environment in order to create the energy they need to survive

Food, Nutrients 

500

This is a process that is carried out by all living things in order to maintain a stable internal environment 

Homeostasis

The Cell

100

This type of organism is made up of many cells

Multicellular 

200

This type of cell is an example of a prokaryote and can be responsible for making people sick 

Bacteria 

300

This cell has a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles

Eukaryotes 

400

This type of cell does not have a nucleus or any membrane-bound organelles 

Prokaryotes

500

This theory, states that a large cell engulfed a smaller cell and they became one

Endosymbiotic Theory

In the Lab

100

This item is used to protect your eyes incase of a splash or chemical spill

Goggles

200

This series of steps are carefully followed when carrying out an experiment 

Procedure

300

This action should take place if any accident occurs in the lab 

Tell the teacher 

400

If instructed to smell a substance in the lab, this is the motion that is used 

Wafting 

500

This is often measured/observed, then written in a table or graph

Data

Bonus

100

This type of reproduction needs two parents

Sexual Reproduction 

200

This type of cell only has the protection of the cell membrane

Animal Cell 

300

The offspring that results from this type of reproduction is an exact clone (copy) of the parent 

Asexual Reproduction 

400

Even though this factor is non-living, it can provide benefits to living things

Abiotic Factor

500

This occurs to an organism if homeostasis is not maintained

Die/Death
