Vocabulary Terms
These are the molecules and compounds that start a reaction.
What are "Reactants?"
This type or types of organisms can carry out photosynthesis.
What are "Plants?" (and a few exceptions like some bacteria and some protists)
This Characteristic of Life occurs when something gets bigger and changes.
What is "Growth & Development?"
This cell organelle is often referred to as the "brain" because it contains all of the information that the cell needs.
What is the "Nucleus?"
This type of energy enters the cycle of photosynthesis and cellular respiration.
What is "Light Energy?"
These are the molecules and compounds that are present at the end of a reaction.
What are "Products?"
This is the type or types of organisms that can carry out cellular respiration.
What are plants and animals?
To fulfill this Characteristic of Life something must be able to create more of itself.
What is "Reproduction?"
Without this cell organelle, the cell could not build proteins to do work.
What is the "Ribosome?"
This type of energy exits the cycle of photosynthesis and cellular respiration.
What is "ATP Energy?"
This is a smaller part of a cell that performs specific jobs or functions.
What is an organelle?
These are the reactants of photosynthesis.
What are "Sunlight, Carbon Dioxide, and Water."
The amoeba demonstrated this Characteristic of Life when it wrapped a pseudopod around the paramecium.
What is "Respond to Stimuli?"
This cell organelle controls which materials can enter and exit the cell.
What is the "Cell Membrane?"
This molecule is where the energy from sunlight gets stored after photosynthesis occurs.
What is the "Glucose Molecule?"
This is anything that takes up space and has a mass.
What is "Matter?"
These are the reactants of cellular respiration.
What are "Glucose and Oxygen?"
An example of this Characteristic of Life happens when you sweat.
What is "Maintain Homeostasis?"
This cell organelle is where photosynthesis takes place.
What is the "Chloroplast?"
This can come in many forms, such as chemical, light, ATP, and thermal (heat).
What is "Energy?"
This goes through a cycle during photosynthesis & cellular respiration.
What is "matter?"
This is the difference between something that is "living," "non-living," and "dead."
Answers will vary, but should be similar to "Living must fulfill all of the characteristics of life," "Non-living cannot and will not fulfill all of the characteristics of life," and "Dead means that it once fulfilled all of the characteristics of life, but no longer does."
Without this organelle, the cell would not be able to create ATP.
What is the "Mitochondria?"
This is where the energy is stored in a molecule.
What is "In the bonds?"
