The basic unit of life.

What is the cell?

100

The part that controls what can enter and leave the cell.

What is the cell membrane?

100

the scientific theory that all living things are made of cells, that the cell is the basic unit of life, and that all cells come from other cells

What is cell theory?

100

Cell theory has this many main principles/parts.

What is three?

100

A nonliving particle that makes copies of itself inside living cells.

What is a virus?

200

A cell can make more of itself through this process.

What is reproduction?

200

This part is the "brain of the cell" and contains genetic material (DNA).

What is the nucleus?

200

having or consisting of multiple cells (more than 1)

What is multicellular?

200

Scientists learned that there were tiny living things called cells they could not previously see once this was developed. 

What is a microscope?

200

The major reason why a virus is considered to be NON-LIVING. 

What is that viruses are not made of cells?

300

Need this to survive.

What is energy?

300

Found only in plant cells, this part makes food.

What are chloroplasts?

300

having or consisting of ONLY ONE single cell

What is unicellular?

300

Sometimes tiny unicellular organisms are visible without a microscope because of this.

What is a colony of them are together?

(or because there are SO many of them together because you cannot see unicellular organisms unless you have a microscope)

300

ONE of the two reasons people confuse viruses and bacteria.

What is their..

1. size (both are very small)

2. both can make you sick

400

Cells use energy to do this.

What is grow and develop?

400

The function of this part of a cell is similar to a recipe with detailed instructions.

What DNA?

400

 This type of organism is so small you can only see it using a microscope. 

What is unicellular?

400

Cell theory disproved this original idea that mice could come from a dirty shirt.

What is spontaneous generation?

400

This is how bacteria are classified in terms of size compared to viruses.

What is MACROscopic (because bacteria are BIGGER than viruses).

500

Cells reproduce by doing this.

What is cell division?

500

This part is the powerhouse of the cell. (e.g. the cafeteria where you can get energy from food you eat)

What are mitochondria?

500

a membrane-enclosed structure in a cell that performs a certain function for the cell

What is an organelle?

500

To find evidence that there are living things, you should ask this question.

Are there any cells there? (because ALL living things are made of cells!)

500

A virus cannot reproduce on its own (because it's not living). It must use this in order to reproduce.

What is a host cell?
