Parts of a Cell
Plant Cells
Movement In and Out of Cells
Cell Types
Levels of Organization
100
Small parts inside of the cell that perform a specific function.
What are organelles?
100
This structure provides support for the plant cell and is also found in fungi, bacteria and some protista.
What is the cell wall?
100
The barrier that allows things to pass in and out of the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
100
The cell that carries oxygen around the body.
What is a blood cell.
100
Different tissues working together to perform a function.
What is an organ?
200
The tiny organelle inside a cell that makes proteins.
What is a ribosome?
200
This stores water and some other materials, and though similar structures can be found in animals, this is much bigger in plants taking up half or more of the volume of the cell.
What is the sap vacuole? (Also accept vacuole)
200
Diffusion of water so that particles in the water are spaced evenly and have equal concentrations.
What is osmosis
200
The hollow dead cells that carry water up plants from the roots.
What is xylem?
200
A group of cells working together to perform a function.
What is a tissue?
300
Organelles that have their own compartment inside the cell and are surrounded by a membrane.
What is a membrane bound organelle?
300
Responsible for photosynthesis, this organelle is also found in some protista.
What is the chloroplast?
300
A solution that is more concentrated than the cell it surrounds that causes water to leave the cell.
What is hypertonic?
300
The cells with many hair like projections that move dust and other particles up and out of the lungs.
What is a cilliated cell.
300
The digestive system in humans or flowers in plants.
What are organ systems?
400
The place that the genetic material (DNA) is stored and that gives directions to the rest of the cell.
What is the nucleus?
400
This powerhouse of the cell converts energy from sugars into energy that the cell can use and is also found in animals, fungi, and protista.
What is the mitochondria?
400
A solution that has an equal concentration to the cell it surrounds so that water moves in and out evenly.
What is an isotonic solution?
400
Cells that cause movement in animals by contracting and relaxing.
What are muscle cells?
400
All of the organ systems working together.
What is an organism?
500
The simple type of cell that all bacteria are made of that do not have internal compartments.
What is a prokaryote?
500
This type of cell has membrane bound organelles including the nucleus and includes not only plants, but animals, fungi and protista as well.
What is a eukaryote?
500
A solution that is less concentrated than the cell it surrounds that causes water to go into the cell.
What is a hypotonic solution?
500
The cell with a single long projection used to absorb water from the ground.
What is a root hair cell?
500
The basic unit of life.
