Levels of Organization
A group of similar cells working together to complete a task.
What is tissues?
The main job of this organelle is to help the cell maintain homeostasis by controlling what enters and leaves.
What is Cell Membrane?
The way the molecules will move and the reason why.
What is from high concentration to low concentration because it needs to reach equilibrium?
The site of cellular respiration.
What is the Mitochondria?
Define homeostasis.
What is the balance of internal conditions?
The tiny structures that make up all cells.
What is Organelles?
Just like our body has a brain that is responsible for running and controlling all our bodily functions, cells also have a structure that controls everything it does. What is this structure called?
What is Nucleus?
The similarity and difference between diffusion and osmosis.
What is:
Similarity: Molecules moving from high concentrations to low concentrations.
Difference: Osmosis refers to only water moving across a membrane.
The site of photosynthesis.
What is Chloroplast?
Define diffusion and osmosis
What is:
Diffusion: molecules moving from high concentrations to low concentrations
Osmosis: A type of diffusion of water molecules moving from high concentrations to low concentrations?
A group of organs working together to perform a specific set of functions is known as this.
What is Organ System?
The organelle that is much larger in plant cells than animal cells and why this occurs.
What is the vacuole and how plant cells need to store more water due to the fact that they are unable to search for a water source?
If you placed a healthy plant in a vase of saltwater, predict what would happen to the cells of that plant.
What is water would leave the cell and try to balance out the salt outside?
The reactants of photosynthesis.
What are sunlight (energy), water, and carbon dioxide?
Define autotrophs and heterotrophs.
What is:
Autotrophs: organisms that are able to make their own food in the form of glucose (sugar)
Heterotrophs: organisms that are not able to make their own food and must eat other organisms in order to survive?
Define organ.
What is a group of similar tissues that carry out a specific function?
The organelle(s) found in plant cells and not animal cells AND their functions.
What are chloroplast (site of photosynthesis) and cell wall (provide structure and support to the cell)?
Diffusion and osmosis ________ require the cell to use energy.
What is do not?
The formula for cellular respiration.
Define Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration.
What is:
Photosynthesis: the process of cells capturing energy from sunlight and using it to make food (glucose)
Cellular Respiration: the process of glucose getting broken apart and its chemical bonds are broken, allowing for a great amount of energy (ATP) to be released for the cell to use.
Place the levels of organization in order from least complex to most complex starting with atoms.
What is:
Atoms > Molecules > Organelles > Cells > Tissues > Organs > Organ Systems > Organism?
If a cell stopped making proteins, this organelle would be responsible.
What is Ribosome?
Define selectively permeable.
What is selectively permeable means that the cell membrane allows only certain molecules to pass through?
Photosynthesis _______ glucose.
Cellular Respiration _______ glucose
What is:
Photosynthesis makes glucose
Cellular Respiration breaks glucose?
Define Solute and Solvent.
What is:
Solute: The substances that is dissolved
Solvent: The substance (usually water) that dissolves another substance?
