100

This type of cell is one of the basic units of life.

Within the cell are several organelles that help to

perform a function.

What is animal cell

100

This organelle protects the cytoplasm of the

cell.

What is the cell membrane

100

This process is the idea that water needs to pass

through the cells. The water particles pass from a

higher concentrated area to a lower concentrated

area to achieve an equal level of water. 

What is osmosis

200

This term is the smallest part of an organism. They

are often not visible. They help to make people,

animals, and plants.

What is a cell

200

This organelle creates the energy needed by the cells.

What is the mitochondria

200

Within this process, particles (not water) move from a higher concentrated area to a lower concentrated area over time.

What is diffusion

300

This type of cell forms the basis of life for plants. They

have similar cells to that of an animal cell, but they

also have a cell wall and a chloroplast.

What are plant cells

300

This organelle is usually a big part of the cell,

because it controls activities and growth of the

cell.

What is the nucleus

300

The idea that only a select few molecules can leave

and exit a cell.

What is selective permeability

400

These organisms only have one cell, but can still

perform basic functions, like moving, getting

nutrients, and exchanging gas. An example would be

an amoeba.

What is unicellular

400

This organelle is a rigid, protective, and supportive outer layer located outside the cell membrane in plants, fungi, algae, and most bacteria. It is NOT found in an animal cell.

What is a cell wall

400

Similar cells combined form this term. The four major

types of this term are epithelial, connective, muscular,

and nervous.

What is tissue

500

This type of cell uses two or more cells to make

up an organism.

What is multicellular

500

This organelle is a specialized, double-membrane organelle found in plant and algae cells that conducts photosynthesis to provide food for plants. It is not found in animal cells

What is chloroplast

500

These can be any animal or plant cells, or any

cell that exists on its own.

What are organisms

600

This concept was developed in the 1600s and has

three basic principles: 1) a cell is the basic unit of

life, 2) all cells come from pre-existing cells, and 3)

all living things are made up of one or more cells.

What is cell theory

600

This organelle is a membrane-bound organelle found in the cells of plants, fungi, animals, and protists. In plant cells, it is MUCH larger! This organelle acts as a storage container for cells.

What is a vacuole

600

These are a build up of similar tissues that create

something to perform a function in the body. For

example, hearts, lungs, and eyes, are all these.

What are organs
