Mitochondria
This organelle produces proteins.
Ribosomes
Name the major organs that are a part of your "gut"
Stomach & intestines
The relative size of things
Scale
The tiny structures that make up all living things and are the smallest units able to perform life functions.
Cells
This is the general shape of a plant cell.
Box-like/square/rectangle

The tiny structures that make up all living things and are the smallest units able to perform life functions.
Cells
This chemical structure is smaller than a cell, but cannot perform life functions.
Atom/Molecule

Cell membrane
Vacuole
What could happen when an organism has less bacteria than normal in their gut microbiome?
They are more susceptible to infections of harmful bacteria. (C. difficile)
