Observations
100

Controls the cell and contains DNA.

Nucleus

100

The shape of a plant cell.

Rectangle (most of the time)

100

Organisms eat or make food.

Uses Energy

100

Made of one cell.

Unicellular

100

Too small to see with your eyes.

Microscopic

200

Surrounds the cell and controls what enters and exits.

Cell Membrane

200

The shape of an animal cell.

Round or Irregular

200

Organisms get larger and change over time.

Growth and Development

200
Made of more than one cell (many cells).

Multicellular

200

Big enough to see with your eyes.

Macroscopic

300

Makes protein for the cell.

Ribosomes

300

Both plant and animal cells have this jellylike filling.

Cytoplasm

300

Organisms make offspring.

Reproduction

300

Humans are this type of organism.

Multicellular

300

This tool is used to see really small things.

Microscope

400

Uses food to make energy.

Mitochondria

400

Plant cells have these two organelles that animal cells do not.

Cell Wall and Chloroplasts

400

Organisms react to a change in their environment.

Responds to Stimuli

400

An amoeba is this type of organism.

Unicellular
400

To determine if an amoeba is alive, you would look for this structure.

A cell or cells

500

Absorbs sunlight to make food.

Chloroplast

500

Since animal and plant cells have a nucleus, they are this type of cell.

Eukaryotes

500

Organisms keep a balance in their body.

Maintain Homeostasis

500

Something with all 6 characteristics of life is called this.

Organism
500

This characteristic of life is defined by living things being made of smaller and smaller parts.
