Organisms
Another word for living thing
What is an organism?
The scientist who discovered cells
What is Robert Hooke!!
I am the gatekeeper of the cells activities, I protect it but also provide structure, I am selectively permeable which means I only let some things in and out of the cells, what am I?
What is the cell membrane?
Cells spend most of the time in this stage, where they prepare for division by growing and replicating its chromosomes and organelles
What is interphase?
I provide stability, collect water, and store nutrients for plants.
What are Roots?
Segments of DNA strands that code for a specific trait
What are genes?
Resistance to getting sick
What is immunity?
The working parts of a cell that perform a variety of functions.
The two different ways that materials that can transport through the membrane, in and out of the cell
What is Passive Transport and Active Transport?
The phase of the cell cycle where reproduction occurs.
What is Mitosis?
The part of the plant that receives the pollen
What is the stigma?
A chemical reaction a plant carries out to produce energy, breaking down CO2 and water + sunlight to produce food.
What is photosynthesis?
A group of living organisms that are able to exchange genes and interbreed.
What is a species?
I am the control center of the cell, I hold genetic information that allows the cell to do all of its jobs
What is the nucleus?
The three kinds of passive transport
What is Diffusion, osmosis, and facilitated diffusion.
The four ways asexual reproduction can be carried out
What is mitosis, binary fission, budding, and regeneration?
The four different methods of seed dispersal
What is wind, water, animals and bursting?
Molecules that help facilitate or catalyze a chemical reaction
What are Enzymes?
Name the six kingdoms
What are Plants, Animals, Fungi, Protists, Archaebacteria, and Eubacteria
I am the protective wall surrounding the nucleus, controlling the flow of materials in and out
What is the nuclear membrane
All of the chemical reactions required to release or generate energy
What is Metabolism?
The joining together of a sperm and an egg, and the cell that forms.
What is fertilization and the zygote?
This kind of plant has tubelike structures that carry and distribute nutrients. Most have seeds
What are Vascular Plants?
A chemical reaction that breaks down sugars to release energy in food without using O2
What is Fermentation?
The 5 characteristics of living things
What is the made of cells, grows and changes, responds/reacts, consumes energy, and reproduces.
I provide the cell with all its energy, known as the powerhouse
What is mitochondria
I am required for Active Transport!
What is ATP - Adenosine Tiphosphate
I pair with Thymine, and my friend pairs with Cytosine.
What is Adenine and Guanine?
A kind of seeded plant that flowers
What is angiosperm?
Compounds that can be added together to make proteins
What is Amino Acids
I am an organism that can feed itself, like plants do through photosynthesis.
What is an autotroph?
A bunch of cells working together.
What is Tissue?
Large molecules that are made from stringing amino acids together
What are proteins?
When a cell duplicates its genetic material by elongating until it splits; this is how bacteria reproduce asexually, instead of mitosis
What is Binary Fission?
Tiny stringy structures instead of roots found in nonvascular, seedless plants.
What are Rhizoids?
I eat other organisms for food, like fungi.
What is a heterotroph?
I cannot survive on my own. I use machinery and supplies of a living cell to reproduce.
What is a virus?
We receive directions from hereditary material in the nucleus to make certain proteins
What are Ribosomes!
What is cellular respiration?
The three different kinds of RNA
mRNA, rRNA, and tRNA
The function of a plant's Xylem
What is distributing water from the roots to other parts of the plant?
This is where cellular respiration takes place!
What is the Mitochondria?
