Organelles A
These organelles have been coined "the powerhouse of the cell".
What are mitochondria?
This cell structure is found on all cells and protects the cell while controlling what can come in and go out.
What is the cell membrane?
This cell type makes up all mammals, fish, birds, and insects.
What is living things produce and eliminate waste?
This term is used for a special unit found within a cell that has a specific function.
What is an organelle?
This organelle is responsible for synthesizing and transporting proteins (rough variety) as well as fats (smooth variety).
What is the endoplasmic reticulum?
These organelles, like a postal service, are responsible for transporting substances within and out of the cell.
What are vesicles?
This cell type is prokaryotic and exists everywhere in our body, including on our skin, in our mouth, and in our gut. They can be very harmful or very helpful.
What is bacteria?
Animals eat food for energy. Plants use sunlight and chemicals to produce glucose which they use for growth and energy.
When an organism is made of only one cell, we refer to them as this.
What is unicellular?
These organelles contain chlorophyll, the photosynthetic pigment that makes plants green.
This jelly-like substance contains the organelles, water, and other materials essential for survival.
What is the cytoplasm?
What are plants?
Two rabbits, one male and one female, are left alone in an enclosure for one hour. One month later, there are now 8 rabbits.
This large molecule speeds up chemical reactions and is found in our stomach and in lysosomes.
What is an enzyme?
These organelles are temporary storage units for water and waste.
What are vacuoles?
This organelle is responsible for sorting and packaging proteins.
What is the golgi body?
This cell type was once referred to as "ancient bacteria". They do well in extreme environments.
What is archaea?
When I spot a moose charging towards me, my heart rate and respiration increase, I begin to sweat, and I make the move to dive behind a tree.
Living things respond to their environment.
This gas is a waste product of cellular respiration but a product of photosynthesis.
What is carbon dioxide?
This organelle is found within the nucleus and is responsible for making ribosomes.
What is the nucleolus?
These organelles plays a similar role to that of our stomachs.
Fungi cells have a cell wall that is made of this long-chain polymer.
What is chitin?
When it is hot, we sweat. When it is cold, we shiver.
What is living things maintain homeostasis?
This acronym describes the form of energy that all living things use.
What is ATP?
