Cell Type
What type of cell does not have a nucleus?
a prokaryotic cell
What do you call an organism made up of one cell?
unicellular
What is an organism that makes its own food called?
Autotroph
TULIP FLOWER
multicellular, eukaryotic, autotroph
all animal and plant cells are __________
eukaryotic
Name a characteristic of eukaryotic cells.
having a nucleus, larger, more complex, contains organelles
Name a multicellular organism.
human, animals, plants, fungi
How do heterotrophs get their energy?
consuming other organisms
BIRD
multicellular, eukaryotic, heterotroph
What species are Deb's children? Extra 50 points if you remember their names.
sugar gliders. chip and dale.
Give an example of a prokaryotic organism
bacteria
Name a unicellular organism.
amoeba, some bacteria
What are the type of heterotrophs?
herbivore, carnivore, omnivore, detritivores
HUMAN
multicellular, eukaryotic, heterotrophic
How do multicellular organisms move? Give a plant and animal example
they have specialized structures! (roots, vines, limbs)
How is the DNA stored in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?
p - loose DNA
e - DNA in nucleus
What is the key difference about unicellular organisms?
One cell performs all life functions
What are the two processes autotrophs may use to create energy?
photosynthesis and chemosynthesis
multicellular, eukaryotic, heterotrophic
How do unicellular organisms eat?
they either absorb nutrients through their membrane, use cilia to scoop food into their "mouths", or use photosynthesis
Compare the size of prokaryotic cells to eukaryotic cells.
eukaryotic are 10x larger than prokaryotic
What is the key difference in multicellular organisms?
They contain specialized cells that perform different functions
What is the connection between autotrophs and heterotrophs?
heterotrophs still rely on autotrophs even if they don't directly eat producers. No producers = no food :(
bacteria
unicellular, prokaryotic, EITHER autotrophic of heterotrophic (hehe tricky)
How do unicellular organisms move?
they use hair like structures (cilia) to "swim". or they float!
