Molecules
The purpose of photosynthesis is to produce this energy-rich molecule.
What is glucose?
This organelle produces ATP energy.
What is the mitochondrion?
These types of cells include animals, plants, fungi, and protists.
What are eukaryotes?
This organ is the center of the circulatory system.
What is the heart?
The top of the food chain.
What is an apex predator?
This molecule is our most directly usable form of energy.
What is ATP?
This organelle produces proteins from mRNA.
These types of cells include bacteria.
What are prokaryotes?
This organ releases digestive enzymes into the stomach.
What is the liver?
An organism may be considered this if it moves to a new environment where it has no natural predators.
What is invasive?
These biomolecules are always hydrophobic.
What are lipids?
This organelle stores DNA.
What is the nucleus?
These types of cells have cell walls for stability and lysosomes for digestion.
What are fungi?
This organ produces eggs.
What are the ovaries?
Organisms that must consume other organisms for energy.
What are heterotrophs?
These proteins speed up chemical reactions, typically either breaking down a substrate or combining multiple substrates.
What are enzymes?
This organelle stores water. It is larger in plant cells and smaller in animal cells.
What is the vacuole?
These types of cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts, and nuclei, and they always form multicellular organisms.
What are plant cells?
This organ filters the blood and produces urine.
What are the kidneys?
In the carbon cycle, these organisms are responsible for removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
What are plants?
When a protein or nucleic acid loses its shape.
This organelle transports materials around the cell.
What is the golgi body?
These types of eukaryotic cells may be single-celled or multi-cellular, and may resemble plants or animals, but are always simpler in structure.
What are protists?
This organ helps to feed a developing embryo.
What is the placenta?
What are decomposers?
