Cells
What do we call the individual parts of the cell?
Organelle
Harmful bacteria that enters our body can create a sickness otherwise known as a what?
an infection
Explain why plant cells have a cell wall and we as humans, do not?
We have bones to help protect our vital organs. Plants do not have bones however they have a cell wall that helps provide protection to the plants cells as well as allows the plant to grow upright.
Why is it important to have good healthy gut microbiome?
Healthy gut microbiome protects us from diseases / infections, helps out body with digestion and helps our body with energy
Which state can we find the statue of liberty?
Which organelle is the powerhouse of the cell that makes the cells energy?
Mitochondria
Which bacteria helps our body produce immune cells within the gut microbiome?
B. Fragilis
Which organelle allows molecules and waste to enter the cell as well as leave the cell?
Cell Membrane
What do we call organisms too small to see with the naked eye?
microorganisms
During World War Two, the war was divided between the axis powers and the allied powers. The axis powers consisted of Germany, Italy and Japan and the allied powers were led by the United States, the Soviet Union, and what was the third major country leading the allied powers?

Antibiotics
Which organelle is responsible for storing water and nutrients to use when needed?
Vacuole
Explain why a fecal transplant can work on a patient who can no longer take antibiotics?
A fecal transplant will transfer bacteria from one person to another. This new bacteria will allow the patients microbiome to regrow to healthy levels, which should protect the patient from further infection.
Who was the first person to step foot on the moon?

Which organelle synthesizes amino acids back into protein?
Ribosomes
Which bacteria is responsible for creating a mucus within the gut microbiome?
L. Reuteri
Which organelle acts as the floor of the cell? This is a jelly like substance that holds the organelles in place.
Cytoplasm
Explain why patient 23 got infected with C. diff quickly after getting sick with C. jejuni?
Doctors treated C. jejuni with antibiotics. Antibiotics destroyed a good majority of Patient 23's gut microbiome which allowed him to become susceptible to C. diff infection.
There are three types of rocks. One of them is Metamorphic. What are the other two?
Igneous, Sedimentary and Metamorphic
Which organelle helps to transport molecules around the cell.
Endoplasmic Reticulum
B. Fragilis is incredibly beneficial for our bodies. However, it can also be harmful. Explain how B. Fragilis can cause harm to our bodies.
B. Fragilis can leave the gut microbiome. If this happens it can start eating cells as food which can cause an infection within the body. Also, B. Fragilis is not easily treatable through antibiotics.
Why are plant vacuoles so much larger than human vacuoles?
Plants need to store more water in the event that they do not get water for days or weeks at a time. Humans can typically restore with water anytime that they want to so our vacuoles do not need to be as large.
What are the three ways in which harmful bacteria can enter the body?
Through food, air we breathe, or through cuts (open wounds)
