Body
The part of the blood that is liquid and carries the nutrients, hormones, and waste.
The outer layer of the brain responsible for higher thinking, language, and decision-making.
What is the cerebral cortex?
The type of cell that doesn't have a membrane-bound nucleus.
What is prokaryotic?
The cell’s tiny factories or builders. Their main job is to read instructions from the DNA and build proteins, which are needed for almost everything the cell does.
What are ribosomes?
This cell organelle is selectively permeable, meaning that is picks and chooses what does or doesn't want to allow inside the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
These organs filter waste and excess water from the blood to form urine.
What are the kidney's?
A fast, automatic response by your nervous system — like pulling your hand back from something hot.
What is a reflex?
This is the assembly line of the cell. This is like a factory and delivery system inside a cell. It helps make important things the cell needs and moves them to the right places.
What is the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)?
The cell’s recycling center and trash disposal. They break down waste, old cell parts, and harmful invaders to keep the cell clean and healthy.
What are lysosomes?
The cell’s instruction manual or recipe book. It holds all the secrets and directions for how a living thing should look, grow, and work.
What is the DNA?
This part of the brain controls balance, posture, and coordination of movement.
What is the cerebellum?
The largest lobe of the brain, located directly behind the forehead and comprising approximately 25% to 40% of the cerebral cortex.
What is the frontal lobe?
The cell’s post office and packaging center. It receives proteins and fats made by the ER, fixes them up, and sends them to the right places inside or outside the cell.
What is the golgi body?
The cell’s storage rooms or warehouses. They hold water, food, waste, and other materials the cell needs or wants to keep away from the rest of the cell.
What are vacuoles?
These are prokaryotes (no organelles) — sometimes these are helpful, sometimes these are harmful.
What is bacteria?
What is a neuron?
The smallest structural and functional unit of life capable of independent functioning, serving as the basic building block for all living organisms.
What is a cell?
The cell’s power plants or batteries. Their main job is to make energy that the cell needs to work, grow, and move.
What is the mitochondria?
The cell’s security guard and skin. It surrounds the entire cell, holding everything inside safely and protecting it from the outside world.
What is the cell membrane?
When the body has already fought off a disease and is protected from getting it again.
What is immunity?
The left hemisphere of the brain controls this side of the body.
What is the right side? (Remember, it's criss-crossed!)
The type of cell that has a membrane-bound nucleus.
What is eukaryotic?
The cell’s brain or control center. It holds the cell’s important instructions and tells the cell what to do and when to do it.
What is the nucleus?
The process by which plant cells use light energy to make glucose (a simple sugar food).
What is photosynthesis?
Any disease-causing organism (like a virus or bacteria). This is a harmful thing.
What is a pathogen?
