Characteristics of living things
An organism made of more than one cell
What is multicellular
Any cellular organism that has no nuclear membrane
what is prokaryote
Name 2 organelles that are only found in a plant cell.
What are chloroplasts and cell wall
Define cytoplasm
A jelly-like substance that holds the cell organelles in place
The smallest level of organization?
what are cells
Single-celled, an organism made of one cell
What is unicellular
An organism whose cell contains specialized organelles in the cytoplasm and has a membrane-bound nucleus
what is Eukaryote
Where does photosynthesis occur in a plant cell?
What are chloroplasts
Why do animal cells not need chloroplasts?
Animals do not need to make their own energy, they are heterotrophs.
Define tissue
A tissue is an organized community of cells that live close together and perform the same function.
An organism that is “self-feeding,” makes its own food
what is autotroph
What small single-celled protists are shapeless and eat by engulfing their food with their bodies?
what is amoeba
What is the defining characteristic of a cell wall
It is porous, rigid, and surrounds the cell
What is the role of the lysosome in an animal cell?
breaks down old cell parts (like a digestive system)
Groups of two or more organs that work together to perform a specific function for the organism.
what are organ systems
How are Abiotic factors and Biotic factors differ?
What is Biotic factors are all living and once living features of the environment. Abiotic factors are all nonliving features of environment.
Describe what a protist is.
They are very diverse and are all of the organisms that do not fit into one specific group.
What is the main VISUAL difference between a plant and animal cell?
Plant cells are rigid and look like bricks. Animal cells and circular.
Why is the nucleus referred to as the "brain" of the cell.
Control center; Controls the activities of the cell. Contains DNA
Definition: Arranging things in a ranking order
Hierarchical
What are the 6 characteristics of living things?
All living things are made up of cells, contain similar chemicals, must use energy, respond to their surroundings, ability to grow and develop, ability to reproduce.
Name the three ways a protist can move?
What is cilia, flagella, Pseudopod
Explain the process of photosynthesis
Plants take in water, energy from the sun, and CO2. They create glucose(their food) and oxygen to release into the air.
How do the golgi body, endoplasmic reticulum, and ribosomes work together?
Transports proteins throughout the cell. Golgi receives and ships proteins like an Amazon, ER carries proteins throughout the cell like a highway, ribosomes make proteins.
Which is the correct order to which living things can be made?
Cells, Tissues, Organs, Organ Systems, Organisms
