Cell Parts/Organelles
This organelle is like the skin of a cell. It lets molecules in and out of the cell.
Cell Membrane
What are all living things made of?
Cells
What does the Muscular System do for our body?
The muscular system helps move the parts of the body
What are the 6 Body Systems that we learned about in class?
Digestive, Nervous, Muscular, Respiratory, Excretory, Circulatory
What is the part we look through on a microscope?
This organelle creates energy for the cell. It is sometimes called the "Powerhouse" of the Cell.
Mitochondria
Name 2 of the 4 things all living things do
Grow, Move, Respond to Stimuli, and Reproduce
Describe the function of the cardiovascular 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
What is the part that holds up the specimen?
The stage
This organelle controls the actions of the cell. It is like the brain of the cell.
Nucleus
What was the early idea of what living things are made of? (What did we use to think)
Living things are made of air, fire, and water.
What is one of the functions of the nervous system.
1. Controls and coordinates the body
2. Stores memories
3. Process information from the outside world
How does the Cardiovascular System work together with the Digestive System?
The Cardiovascular System (Red Blood Cells) receives nutrients from the Digestive System (Small Intestine)
What part controls the light that is able to reach the specimen?
The diaphragm
This organelle stores things for the cell to use later. Is much larger in plant cells.
Vacuoles
What is happening to our cells as our bodies grow?
More cells are being made, and old cells die and are replaced by new ones.
Describe the function of the excretory system.
To process and remove body and food waste.
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.
What are the lenses that we use to magnify specimen called?
Objective Lenses
This organelle allows plant cells to "eat" sunlight. It is also the reason why the plant cell is green.
Chlorophyll
What is a stimulus?
Anything that causes an organism to react, can be internal or external.
Describe how the muscular system and the skeletal system are related.
The muscles allow the bones to move, and the bones allow the muscles to hold us upright.
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.
If the eyepiece has a magnification of 10x and the objective lens has a magnification of 20x, what is the total magnification?
