Name one organelle that both plant and animal cells have.
What is: the nucleus, mitochondria, cell membrane
100
Why do cells go through mitosis? Name at least two reasons.
What is for growth, repair, reproduction, maintenance/survival?
100
What is Cancer?
What is: Uncontrolled cell division
100
What is the job of the respiratory system?
What is: To bring oxygen and remove carbon dioxide?
100
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
200
This organelle is found only in plant cells and is where photosynthesis happens.
What is the chloroplast?
200
What is the first stage of mitosis?
What is prophase?
200
What causes cancer cells to be dangerous?
They divide quickluy and don't function normally.
200
This organ is where gas exchange happens.
What are: The Lungs
200
What organ pumps blood through the body?
What is the heart?
300
This rigid layer is found in plant cells but not in animal cells.
What is the cell wall?
300
During which phase do chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell?
What is metaphase?
300
True or False: Cancer cells go through all the regular stages of mitosis like normal cells.
False
300
Name two parts of the respiratory system besides the lungs. (Multiple answers!)
What are: Trachea & Bronchi, Nose and diaphragm
300
What organ produces acid to help break down food in the digestive system?
What is the stomach?
400
Which two structures are in plant cells but not animal cells?
What are the cell wall and chloroplasts?
400
What are the stages of mitosis in order?
Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, Cytokinesis
400
Name one possible cause or trigger of cancer. (Multiple answers work!)
Smoking, Radiation, Genetics, Etc.
400
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
400
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?
500
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?
Mitochondria; both
500
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?
500
What is the difference between a benign and malignant tumour?
Benign = Non-cancerous
Malignant = Cancerous & Can spread
500
How does the diaphragm help with breathing?
What is: it contracts to help pull air into the lungs and relaxes to push it out?
500
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.
