Cell Theory / History
100
Controls which substances come in and out of the cell, also allows for cell shape and flexibility.
What is the Cell Membrane?
100
Found only in plant cells, the rigid layer of nonliving material, made of mostly cellulose, water and oxygen can pass through it.
What is the Cell Wall?
100
These vessels take blood away from the heart.
What are Arteries?
100
These are shaped like a slightly flattened disc and make up 45% of blood by volume.
What are Red Blood Cells?
100
The scientist that discovered the different types of blood.
Who is Karl Landsteiner?
200
Provides structure & support for plant cells, gives them their characteristic box-like shape.
What is the Cell Wall?
200
A large round structure, along with the nucleolus, the most obvious when viewing. Surrounded by a porous membrane known as the nuclear envelope.
What is the Nucleus?
200
These vessels have a wall only one cell thick and exchanges oxygen and nutrients from the blood to the body's cells while collecting waste from the body cells.
What are Capillaries?
200
These have many different shapes, but most are slightly sphere shaped, with a bumpy surface, are whitish when seen in a layer and make up less than 1% of blood by volume.
What are White Blood Cells?
200
The basic units of structure and function in all living things.
What are cells?
300
Carries proteins and other materials to/from different parts of the cell and can store them.
What is the Endoplasmic Reticulum?
300
Found only in plant cells, large, green structures floating in the cytoplasm
What are Chloroplasts?
300
These vessels have a valve to help prevent backflow as blood flows through them back to the heart.
What are Veins?
300
This component's function is to maintain blood pressure, volume, and pH, transports critical factors, and acts as a medium for exchange.
What is plasma?
300
The levels of organization found within the body.
What are cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, organism?
400
Found only in plant cells, they capture energy from sunlight and use it to produce food for cell.
What are Chloroplasts?
400
This appears as a maze of passageways of folded sacs and tubes and has rough and smooth sections.
What is the Endoplasmic Reticulum?
400
These vessels have three layers, including a very thick middle layer of muscle to help withstand pressure and regulate blood flow.
What are Arteries?
400
This component's function is to carry oxygen to body cells and carbon dioxide away from body cells.
What are Red Blood Cells?
400
All cells are made from this.
What are other cells?
500
They convert food into energy (cell respiration) for the cell to function - known as the “powerhouses”.
What are Mitochondria?
500
These are small, oval-shaped structures.
What are Lysosomes?
500
This is the name of the vessels in order, as blood leaves the heart and follows the two-loop system.
What are arteries, capillaries, and veins? DAILY DOUBLE: If answer includes mention of the path from the heart-> arteries-> capillaries (in lungs)-> veins-> back to heart-> arteries-> capillaries (in body)-> veins-> back to heart, contestant receives double points!
500
This is composed of 92% water, 7% vital proteins, and 1% salts and other components.
What is Plasma?
500
Besides ABO blood typing, Landsteiner was also responsible for discovering this.
What is Rh Factor?
