Miscellaneous
100

These structures store food, water, and waste.

What is a vacuole?

100

To generate offspring of organisms or duplicates of a cell.

What is reproduce?

100

A skeleton is an example.

What is an organ system?

100

City hall might be a good metaphor for this organelle.

What is the nucleus?

100

These unicellular organisms do not have organelles.

What is a prokaryote?

200

These important structures are not found in animal cells and are where photosynthesis happens.

What are chloroplasts?
200

Getting bigger and more mature.

What is grow and develop?

200

Living things that can be unicellular or multicellular.

What are organisms?

200

This organelle would be similar to a city's power station.

What is the mitochondrion? (also accept chloroplast)

200

These organisms have a nucleus, are more complex, and can be multicellular.

What are eukaryotes?
300

Not to be confused with the cell membrane, these plant structures provide support but do not determine what goes in and out of a cell.

What is a cell wall?

300
This is what we do when we eat food and the sugars get used up to help us move, grow, and repair our cells.

What is get and use energy?

300

Built from tissues, these structures can be replaced by doctors during a transplant.

What is an organ?

300

The city's air would be the closest thing to this organelle.

What is the cytoplasm?

300

Plant cells might be green, could have chloroplasts, will definitely have cells walls, large vacuoles, and are arranged in regular patterns.

What are differences between plant and animal cells?

400

Food is broken down in these structures so that the energy stored within the food can be used.

What is a mitochondrion?

400

An example would be a bright light suddenly shining and your pupils constrict.

What is respond to stimuli?

400

Not to be confused with phones or places where prisoners are held, this is a major topic of this science unit.

What is a cell?

400

An organelle that breaks down waste materials; the best would analogy would be a landfill, recycling center or garbage collection.

What is a lysosome?

400

All living things are made of cells, come from cells, and cells are the basic structure of life.

What is Cell Theory?

500

This is where the DNA is found in eukaryotes.

What is the nucleus?

500

Keeping a steady balance of the conditions required for life.

What is maintaining homeostasis?

500

Humans have 4 basic types:  connective, epithelial, muscle, and nerve.

What is tissue?

500

A factory would be most like this organelle.

What is the endoplasmic reticulum? (also accept ribosome)

500

The nucleus organizes the duplication of organelles, which separate to 2 sides of the cell, and after the cell membrane pinches in the middle, voila, 2 cells!

What is cell multiplication?  (accept cell division, cell reproduction, binary fission)
