What is tissue?

groups of similar cells working together

100

This surrounds the cell as a protective covering and regulates the entrance and exit of the cell

cell membrane

100

this is the powerhouse of the cell and creates energy (ATP)

mitochondria

100

How do plants get their energy?

through photosynthesis

100

Several centuries ago, these were more valuable than gold in Holland.

tulips

What are organs?

groups of similar tissue

200
this holds everything in the membrane - in eukaryotic cells, it contains all the organelles

cytoplasm

200

these are the garbage men of the cells, they are the demolition crew, disposing of old structures and destroying foreign substances

lysosomes

200

How do humans/animals/some plants get their energy?

cellular respiration

200

this plant actually eats bugs

Venus fly trap

300

What are the 2 types of cells?

Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic Cells

300
these assemble the proteins and are found in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells

ribosomes

300

This provides protection and support for the cell and maintains the cell's shape

cell wall

300

what is the equation for photosynthesis?

carbon dioxide + water + light energy = sugar + oxygen

300

This vegetable is actually a flower.

broccoli

400

Who discovered cells and how?

Robert Hooke, by studying cork

400

this protects the cell from harmful substances and keeps the cell from drying out

capsule

400

this is a network of tubes that surrounds the nucleus, produces and transports proteins

endoplasmic reticulum (two types!)

400
what is the equation for cellular respiration?

glucose + oxygen = energy + water + carbon dioxide

400

this plant is an example of a plant that produces toxic substances that kill other plants

sunflower

Name the three points of the Cell Theory.

1. All living things are made up of one or more cells. 

2. All cells come from preexisting cells. 

3. Cells perform the functions of all living things. 

500

this is a whip-like structure and spins to move the cell - it's used to propel the cell though the environment

flagellum

500

many proteins from the ER are sent here - they modify proteins and package them into vesicles

Golgi Apparatus

500

what are the two types of oxygen need? (respiration)

aerobic and anaerobic respiration

500

this flower is one of the world's rarest, largest, smelliest and strangest looking flowers.

titan arum (or the corpse flower)
