Name one organelle that both plant and animal cells have.
What is: the nucleus, mitochondria, cell membrane
Why do cells go through mitosis? Name at least two reasons.
What is for growth, repair, reproduction, maintenance/survival?
What is Cancer?
What is: Uncontrolled cell division
What is the job of the respiratory system?
What is: To bring oxygen and remove carbon dioxide?
What is the main job of the circulatory system and the digestive system?
Circulatory - to move blood, oxygen, and nutrients around the body
Digestive - to break down food and absorb nutrients
This organelle is found only in plant cells and is where photosynthesis happens.
What is the chloroplast?
What is the first stage of mitosis?
What causes cancer cells to be dangerous?
They divide quickluy and don't function normally.
This organ is where gas exchange happens.
What organ pumps blood through the body?
What is the heart?
This rigid layer is found in plant cells but not in animal cells.
What is the cell wall?
During which phase do chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell?
What is metaphase?
True or False: Cancer cells go through all the regular stages of mitosis like normal cells.
False
Name two parts of the respiratory system besides the lungs. (Multiple answers!)
What are: Trachea & Bronchi, Nose and diaphragm
What organ produces acid to help break down food in the digestive system?
What is the stomach?
Which two structures are in plant cells but not animal cells?
What are the cell wall and chloroplasts?
What are the stages of mitosis in order?
Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, Cytokinesis
Name one possible cause or trigger of cancer. (Multiple answers work!)
Smoking, Radiation, Genetics, Etc.
Name at least five parts of this diagram. (Multiple answers work!)
1. Nasal Passage/Cavity or Nose
2. Oral Cavity or Mouth
3. Larynx
4. Lungs
5. Bronchiolus
6. Diaphragm
7. Pharynx
8. Trachea or Windpipe
9. Bronchioles
10. Alveoli
What organ in the digestive system absorbs nutrients into the bloodstream, where the circulatory system carries them to the rest of the body?
What is the small intestine?
This organelle is the site of cellular respiration and is often called the "powerhouse of the cell."
Is it found in plant cells, animal cells, or both?
During mitosis, what are the identical strands of DNA called that are held together by the centromere, and what structure helps move them apart?
What are sister chromatids, the centromere, and spindle fibres?
What is the difference between a benign and malignant tumour?
Benign = Non-cancerous
Malignant = Cancerous & Can spread
How does the diaphragm help with breathing?
What is: it contracts to help pull air into the lungs and relaxes to push it out?
Describe how the circulatory and digestive systems work together.
The digestive system breaks down food into nutrients, and the circulatory system carries those nutrients to the cells.
