What manufactures proteins through the cytoplasm.

Ribosomes do! A ribosome is a cellular particle made of RNA and protein that serves as the site for protein synthesis in the cell. The ribosome reads the sequence of the messenger RNA (mRNA) and, using the genetic code, translates the sequence of RNA bases into a sequence of proteins 9amino acids).

 What cell part is a semi-permeable protective layer in some cell types.

A cell wall of course! it's a semi-permeable protective layer in some cell types. The cell wall is positioned next to the cell membrane  in most plant cells, such as fungi, bacteria, algae, and some archaea. Animal cells however, do not have a cell wall. The cell wall has many important functions in a cell including protection, structure, and support.

What body system lets us stand tall????

The skeletal system! it's your body’s central framework. It consists of bones and connective tissue, including cartilage, tendons, and ligaments. It’s also called the musculoskeletal system.

Ribosomes!! They use RNA to produce Proteins.

What body system lets you move your limbs?

The muscular system! It includes all of your muscles and tendons to connect muscles to the bones.

What stores water and other nutrients the cell uses.

Vacuoles! Vacuoles store water and other nutrients the cell uses. They exist in animal cells, but are particularly large in plant cells. When a plant wilts it is the vacuoles that are losing water.

What body system helps you break down food products (solid & liquid) into nutrients that the body can use?

The Digestive/Excretory System! Your digestive system is the system that helps you break down food products (solid & liquid) into nutrients that the body can use. Bacteria living inside you are critical to helping your digestive system break down food.  

300

What system includes your brain, and nerves?

The Nervous system! Your nerves send signals to the brain giving information about your and surroundings. Your brain sends signals back out to the body telling muscles what to do. Sometimes you are aware of it, but have to think about it, it just happens! These are called autonomic.  

400

What cell part contains most of the cells DNA?

The Nucleus! The nucleus is the control center of the cell. It contains the primary DNA which holds instructions for how the cell will function. Not all cells have nuclei.

What body system includes Lymph Nodes, Bones and Blood?

The Immune System! 

The Immune System is what helps us fight off intruders into our body. It draws upon many other systems of our body. Even our microbiome that are technically separate organisms are a really important part of our defense system.  

400

What system includes The Heart, Veins, Arteries, and Capillaries

The Circulatory System! Your 30 Trillion cells need nutrients to function and they need to expel waste. It is the job of your heart and all the veins, arteries and capillaries to bring those nutrients to your cells and carry away the waste. The nutrients come from the lungs (respiratory system) and your intestines (digestive system).  

500

What cell part helps the cell use energy?

The mitochondria! It helps the cell use energy. They are like little powerhouses. It is likely Mitochondria were once their own independent bacteria that evolved into a symbiotic relationship with larger cells.

What type of cells has a big vacuole, Chloroplasts and  a cell wall  

A Plant Cell!!!

What system includes the Lungs, Mouth, Nose, Trachea, Bronchi?

The Respiratory System! Your body needs Oxygen to “burn” calories and produce energy for your body. It is the primary purpose of the Respiratory System to deliver that oxygen to the blood and remove the carbon dioxide waste from the blood. It works very closely with the circulatory system.
