100

Where is the DNA in a prokaryote cell?

Cytoplasm

100

This is the smallest unit of life in all living organisms.

100

This term refers to the outer layer of a plant cell that gives it structure and support.

What is the cell wall?

100

The invention of _________________was important for the discovery of cells because they could not see it prior to it being made.

Microscope

100

This means living things can make more of their own kind. It's how life continues from generation to generation! Some organisms reproduce asexually with one parent and sexually with two parents.

Reproduction

100

Passive transport does not require_______________.

energy
100

Something that has all the characteristics of life and is not dead is ___________________.

living

100

This foundational concept of science would best help solve the problem of scientific papers having lots of mistakes and typos.Scientists should check each other’s work.  We checked each other's work and gave suggestions during the playdough lab.This was called a ________________________.

Peer Review

200

This gel-like substance inside the cell holds the organelles in place. 

What is the cytoplasm?

200

Animal cells contain this organelle, which breaks down waste

What is LYSOSOME?
200

A living thing made of one or more cells

organism

200

Organisms that have more than one cell are called______________________.

Multicellular

200

Is a virus a living thing?

NO


200

He gave cells their name. In 1655 he noticed chambers on a sample of cork, a plant, in a microscope which reminded him of the rooms, or cells, used by monks at a monastery.

Robert Hooke

200

 All Living Things Respond to Their Environment. Example is a plat moving towards the sunlight.

Stimulus and Response

200

The movement of water from high to low concentration through the cell membrane is called _____________.

osmosis

200

No longer alive This is something that was once alive.

Dead

200

Is the following an example of a Law, Theory, or Hypothesis?: If a heavier marble is used then it will complete a track faster than a light-weight ball of the same size.

A hypothesis.

300

Known as the "powerhouse" of the cell, this organelle produces energy.

What is the mitochondria?  

300

What 2 Kingdoms have Prokaryotic Cells?

Archea, Eubacteria

300

Two or more tissues that work together to perform a specific function form this. 

What is an organ?


Bonus: give an example of an organ

300

This organelle transports materials throughout the cell. Its named because it is covered in ribosomes, giving it a bumpy appearance

Rough ER (Endoplasmic Reticulum)

300

An organism's ability to maintain stable conditions

Homeostasis 

(homeo = same, stasis = status)

300

 Proposed that all ANIMALS are made up of cells.

Theodor Schwann

300

This is a fancy word for keeping things stable inside! It is a self regulating process to keep your body stable.  Your body shivers when it's cold to warm you up, and sweats when it's hot to cool you down. Living things work to keep their internal conditions just right. The cell membrane aids in this with regulating the amount of water in the cell.

Homeostasis

300

During transport water will move in what direction? Into or out of the cell?

Into the cell.

300

Something that has never been alive like a Robot, car, or basketball are _________________.

Non living

300

Are a Law and a Theory equally valid

Yes, they are equally valid.

400

This part of the cell acts as a protective barrier, controlling what enters and exits the cell.

What is the cell membrane?

400

Prokaryotes are lacking this large organelle where Eukaryotes store their DNA in..

What is NUCLEUS?

400

Groups of Cells that work together to do the same job.

Tissue

400
Shape of a plant cell.

Rectangle

400

Everything a living organism does requires this.

They get this by making their own food or by eating/absorbing food.

Energy

400

 A scientist who proposed that all cells arise from pre-existing cells by Cell Division in 1855.   He rejected the Spontaneous Generation Theory.



Rudolph Virchow

400

From a tiny seed to a giant tree, or a baby kitten to a full-grown cat – living things get bigger and change over time.

Growth and Development

400

Diffusion occurs because substances need to move toward__________________>

equillibrium

400

Provides shape and protection; found in plant cells, most fungi, bacteria.
