Vocabulary: This keeps the cell strong and in shape.
Cell wall
Vocabulary: This is just inside the cell wall, and controls what enters and leaves.
Cell membrane
This stores water and sap inside the cell.
Vacuole
Vocabulary: This is the “boss” of the cell. It contains the cell's genetic instructions, called DNA, which directs all cell activities, such as growth, movement, and reproduction.
Nucleus
This is the jelly inside the cell that holds everything.
Cytoplasm
This part of the cell makes food (photosynthesis) and gives the plant its green color.
Chloroplasts
True or False: All plant cells look the same.
False. Not all plant cells look the same. They have different shapes and jobs.
Vocabulary: What is it called when the nucleus splits into two?
Mitosis
Vocabulary: What is it called when a new cell wall grows between the two new cells?
Cytokinesis
Vocabulary: What is the acid found in cell nuclei that forms the genes and chromosomes of all living things called?
DNA – (Deoxy Nucleic Acid)
Vocabulary: A tiny unit of living matter, the basic building block of all life is called a ________.
Cell
Vocabulary: The division of a cell nucleus to produce two identical cells is called ________.
Mitosis
Vocabulary: Bundles of DNA that can be found in the cell's nucleus, that work together to tell the organism how to develop is called ________________.
Chromosomes – Bundles of DNA that can be found in the cell’s nucleus. They work together to tell the organism how to develop.
Vocabulary: What are the three parts of the animal cell?
Cell membrane, Nucleus, and Cytoplasm.
Vocabulary: The chromosome contains a set of instructions that tells your body how to develop called the _______.
Genes – a set of instructions that tell your body how to develop; found on the chromosome.
Vocabulary: This plant tissue is like a plant's skin, forming a protective outer layer called the epidermis on its roots, stems, leaves, and flowers.
Dermal tissue
Vocabulary: This tissue is like the inside bulk or filling of a plant, doing jobs like making food through photosynthesis, storing water and food, and providing support for the plant.
Ground tissue
Vocabulary: This tissue is like a plant’s highway system. The Xylem is tiny straws that move water and minerals up from the roots to the leaves. The Phloem is a network of tiny tubes that move food (sugar) made in the leaves to the rest of the plant. Together, they help the plant grow tall and strong.
Vascular tissue
Vocabulary: To form ______ individual cells group together to form tissues. Several different types of tissues then group together to form these _____.
(both blanks are the same vocabulary word)
Organs
Vocabulary: What are the three types of plant tissues?
The three types of plant tissues are dermal tissue, ground tissue, and vascular tissue.
