Organelles
This organelle acts as the brain of the cell; directing its activities. It also holds DNA.
What is the nucleus?
All organisms have this. Some have it enclosed in the nucleus of cells and others have it loose in the cytoplasm.
What is DNA?
Examples of this include neurons and red blood cells.
What is a cell?
This scientist discovered that all animals have cells.
Who is Schwann?
These types of organisms are composed of only one cell.
What are unicellular organisms?
This organelle looks bigger in plant cells than animal cells. It stores water, food, and sometimes waste.
What is a vacuole?
This is a permeable barrier that controls what is allowed into the cell and what exits the cell. Maintains homeostasis.
What is a cell membrane (also plasma membrane)?
Examples of these within the Circulatory system are veins, arteries, capillaries, and the heart.
What are organs?
This scientist gave cells their current name when observing cork under a microscope.
Who is Hooke?
These organisms can have one or more cells. They are defined by containing membrane-bound organelles within the cell.
What are eukaryotic organisms?
This organelle generates ATP, energy for the cell from oxygen and glucose.
What is the mitochondria?
All cells use these to make proteins.
What is ribosomes?
This is the order of the 5 levels of biological organization for a single organism.
What is cell, tissue, organ, organ system, organism?
This scientist discovered that all plants have cells.
Who is Schleidan?
What are autotrophs?
This organelle creates glucose from carbon dioxide and light energy. It is only present in plants.
What is a chloroplast?
Plants and many bacteria cells have this, but no known animal cell has it.
What is a cell wall?
There are only two types of this in plants: shoots and roots.
What are organ systems?
This scientist is given credit for confirming that all cells come from preexisting cells.
Who is Virchow?
This refers to a state of balance that all cells must maintain to stay alive. It includes control of temperature, waste, nutrition, and other functions of life.
What is homeostasis?
These three organelles are present in plant cells but not animal cells.
What are chloroplasts, cell walls, and central vacuoles?
This is the jelly-like fluid that keeps everything in the cell stable (in place).
What is the cytoplasm?
The four types of this in the human body are epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous.
What are the four types of tissue?
Examples of these organisms include tigers, amoebas, rabbits, humans, earthworms, and vultures.
What are heterotrophs?
