Plant Power
What process do plants (and some bacteria) undergo that animal/fungal cells do not?
Photosynthesis.
This organelle makes energy for the cell.
The mitochondria.
This tissue comes in three types: smooth, striated, and skeletal.
Muscle
This system lies beneath your skin and muscle, creating your posture. It occasionally breaks.
The skeletal system
What chemical component is the largest part of the cell membrane?
Phospholipid bilayer
What organelle is necessary for photosynthesis?
The chloroplast.
This organelle turns RNA into protein.
The ribosome.
This tissue sends signals to the brain and spinal cord.
Neuronal tissue.
This system responds to a foreign intruder, such as a virus or bacterium.
The immune system.
What part of the membrane likes water?
Phosphate heads (hydrophilic)
Yes.
This organelle aids in cell division.
The centromere.
This tissue has a special function to break down toxins in the body.
Liver tissue.
This system sends signals all over the body, allowing you to think, feel, and function.
The nervous system.
What membrane-like component do plant and bacterial cells have that animal cells do not?
Cell wall
How do plants make glucose?
Energy from the sun aids the electron transport chain.
This component gives the cell its shape.
Cytoskeleton.
This tissue thrives in acidic environments and has special chemicals to break down food.
The stomach lining.
This system allows you to obtain energy.
The digestive system.
What other components are there in the cell membrane?
Receptors, sugars, protein channels, and more!
Nope!
This organelle houses your DNA
The nucleus.
These special eye structures allow you to absorb light.
Rods and cones.
This system oxygenates your blood.
The respiratory system.
Yes (cytokinesis)
