Cells!!!!
200
Which characteristic of life is this an example of:
'Body changing as you get older'
All living things...
'Grow and develop'
200
This molecule of life...
provides immediate energy and supports the structure of plants
Carbohydrates
200
The workers of the factory, they make proteins!
Ribosomes
200
Like the skin of the cell, this organelle allows things to move in and out of the cell.
Cell membrane
200
What is the main difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?
Pro have no nucleus
Eu do have a nucleus
300
Which characteristic of life is this an example of:
'Getting hungry when you smell tasty food'
This is an example of...
'Having senses and responding to stimuli'
300
This molecule of life...
is responsible for storing energy, creating a barrier and insultion
Lipids
300
This organelle fills up with water, like a water balloon
Vacuole
300
This organelle is the factory, there are two parts.
The ER
300
What are the two differences between plant and animal cells?
Plant cells have chloroplasts and a cell wall
Animal cells do not
400
Which characteristic of life is this an example of:
'Your body stays 97 degrees, even when it's cold outside!'
This is an example of...
'Homeostasis!'
400
This molecule of life...
gives instruction to cells and gives organisms their identity
Nucleic acids
400
This organelle turns energy from food into usable energy (ATP)
Mitochondria
400
This is the post office. It ships the proteins to their destination.
The golgi body
400
What type of cell is this?
A plant cell
500
What are all 7 characteristics of life?
All living things are...
1. made of cells
2. grow and develop
3. have senses and respond to stimuli
4. obtain and use energy (eat and move)
5. can reproduce (make babies!)
6. maintain homeostasis (stay alive)
7. adapt to their environment (evolution)
500
This molecule of life...
is responsible for building muscle, composing enzymes and hormones
Proteins!!!!
500
Only found in plant cells, this organelle takes energy from the sun and turns it into food (glucose)
Chloroplast
500
This organelle is found in plants and prokaryotic cells. It provides support and protection for the cell.
Cell wall
500
What type of cell is this?
A prokaryotic cell
