What is a mitochondria?
100
This organelle is in charge of controlling cell functions and contains DNA.
What is the nucleus?
100
Without this domain of life living inside and outside of our bodies, we could not live!
What is Bacteria?
100
It's the one of these that is the smallest: an animal cell, a plant cell, a bacterial cell, a virus.
What is a virus.

This is how tall Amber is in centimeters.
What is 185 centimeters?
200
It's the purple item in the center of the cell.
What is the nucleus?
200
This part of the cell turns food into energy.
What are mitochondria?
200
This domain of life is often found in extreme environments.
What is Archaea?
200
This is the name for how unicellular organisms gain food.
What is diffusion?
200
This is the name of the turtle that lives in this classroom.
Who is Joaquín?
300
What is a chloroplast?
300
All cells have this outer barrier.
What is the cell membrane?
300
This domain of life contains all organisms made of multiple cells, including plants, animals, and fungi.
What is Eukarya?
300
Explain why eukaryote cells are usually much larger than bacteria or archaea.
They have organelles - these organelles increase surface area for diffusion to happen.

This is the name of Lewis's baby.
What is Solan?
400
What is the endoplasmic reticulum?
400
This organelle is where proteins are made.
What are ribosomes (or rough edoplasmic reticulum, where many ribosomes are found)?
400
This is the one-celled domain of life that is most closely related to Eukarya.
What is Archaea?
400
This is one reason why the bacteria Thiomargarita magnifica can be so large.
What is:
- They have a vacuole, which increases their surface area
-They are long and skinny in shape, maximizing surface area for diffusion

This is the year MFS was founded.
What is 1951?
500
It's the big blue thing in this picture.
What is a vacuole?
500
This organelle uses energy from sunlight to create food.
What are chloroplasts?
500
This is what all domains have in common.
Answers include:
Have RNA and DNA
Have ribosomes
Have a cell membrane
Require energy

These are the two things we calculated when determining how quickly a liquid can diffuse into an object, such as vinegar diffusing into our agar cubes.
What are surface area and volume?
500
This is the name of the first Costa Rican president.
