Cells
This is the study of living things and what they can do, how they do it and why they do it.
Biology
This organelle is often referred to as the "powerhouse of the cell"
Mitochondria
The function of this cell is to absorb sunlight for photosynthesis
This system includes your brain, spinal cord and nerves.
Nervous System
This is our bodies first line of defense against bacteria and viruses
Our Skin
We use this mnemonic acronym to remember the Characteristics of Living Things
MR GREEN
These organelles are found in plant cells only and are very important in photosynthesis.
Chloroplasts
The function of this cell is to carry oxygen around the body
Red Blood Cells
This system involves the mouth, esophagus, stomach and intestines and uses both mechanical (chewing) and chemical (enzymes) processes to break down food
Digestive System
This part of the immune system finds and destroys germs like bacteria & viruses.
White Blood Cells
There are two types of cells, Prokaryotic cells and _________________
Eukaryotic Cells
These tiny organelles make proteins used by the body, some are attached to the E.R.
Ribosomes
This cell carry's electrical signals, has a long shape and connections at all ends
Nerve Cells
The largest organ in the body (the skin) is part of this body system
The Integumentary System
This type of imaging uses powerful magnets to make 3D images of organs and nerves with amazing detail.
MRI
Plant Cells are distinguished from animal cells because they have a ___________ shape
Square
These organelles are the "clean-up crew" that contain chemicals that breakdown food particles, cell waste and foreign invaders like bacteria.
Lysosomes
This cell is large, contains lots of cytoplasm and is to join with a sperm cell
Egg Cell
These two systems work together to bring oxygen to your muscles and vital organs
Respiratory and Circulatory Systems
Our bodies create these in order to remember germs for faster attacks of future illness
Antibodies
In order to see plant and animal cells, we use a tool called a
Light Microscope
The "post office" of the cell, receives proteins from the ER, packages them into vesicles, and distributes them to other parts of the cell.
This cell is shaped like a finger, and has a large surface area to help absorb water and minerals
Root Hair Cell
This system is all about removing physical and metabolic waste from your body.
Excretory System
A doctor would give you both of these in order to fight viral infections.
Antivirals and vaccines
