Cell Parts/Organelles
This organelle is like the skin of a cell. It lets molecules in and out of the cell.
Cell Membrane
What is the control center of the cell?
Nucelus
What does the Muscular System do for our body?
The muscular system helps move the parts of the body
What are the 4 Body Systems that we learned about in class?
Digestive, Nervous, Muscular, Cardiovascular
This organelle creates energy for the cell. It is sometimes called the "Powerhouse" of the Cell.
Mitochondria
Describe the function of the cell membrane
Controls what enters and leaves the cell
Describe the function of the circulatory system. It has two main functions.
The cardiovascular system delivers nutrients/food and oxygen to other cells in the body, and removes waste (CO2).
How does the Nervous System help us run?
The Nervous System sends messages to the muscles telling them to move
This organelle controls the actions of the cell. It is like the brain of the cell.
Nucleus
What does the cytoskeleton do that is similar to our skeleton/bones?
Cytoskeleton maintains a cell's structure and shape, and helps the cell move.
What are the 3 main functions of the Nervous System?
1. Controls and coordinates the body
2. Stores memories
3. Process information from the outside world
How does the Circulatory System work together with the Digestive System?
The Circulatory System (Red Blood Cells) receives nutrients from the Digestive System (Small Intestine)
This organelle breaks down or digests things in the cell. It also destroys viruses in the cell.
Lysosomes
What is the fuction of the mitochrondria
The mitochondria produce energy for the cell.
Explain the difference between plant and animal cells
Plant cells have a cell wall and chloroplasts that help them make food, while animal cells do not have these structures and are usually more round in shape.
How do the Muscular System, Cardiovascular System, and the Digestive System help us read a book?
The Muscular System allows us to hold the book and turn the pages. The Cardiovascular System transfers nutrients and oxygen to the muscles so that they have energy to hold the book. The Digestive System passes the nutrients to the Cardiovascular System.
Explain the difference between plant and animal cells
Plant cells have a cell wall and chloroplasts that help them make food, while animal cells do not have these structures and are usually more round in shape.
Which organelle helps plant cells make food using sunlight?
Choloroplast
Describe the full process of picking up a stick
Stimulus → Receptor → Nerves → Brain → Nerves → Muscles → Response
Why do we have a faster heart rate and breath harder when we are exercising?
Extra credit if you mention the cell part that is being used for this.
We are using more energy when we exercise, so our bodies pump blood faster through our bodies. The red blood cells transfer more nutrients and oxygen to the cells so that the cells' mitochondria can turn the nutrients and oxygen into energy.
