Natural Selection

100

The process where organisms better adapted to their environment survive and reproduce

What is natural selection

200

Over time, natural selection causes these traits to become more common in a population.

What is favorable traits

300

The process by which organisms with traits that are better suited to their environment tend to survive and reproduce more successfully, passing to the next generation

What is natural selection

400

A heritable trait that increases an organism's fitness in a specific environment, resulting from the process of natural selection

Animal Cells

100

This organelle is known as the "powerhouse of the cell", generating energy in the form of ATP

What is the mitochondria

200

These small, round structures are responsible for protein synthesis

What are ribosomes

300

Found in animal cells, this organelle helps organize cell division by forming spindle fibers

What is the centrosome (or centrioles)

400

This jelly-like substance fills the cell and holds organelles in place

What is the cytoplasm

500

This flexible barrier controls what enters and exits the animal cell.

What is the cell membrane

Plant Cells

100

This organelle contains chlorophyll and is responsible for photosynthesis

What is the chloroplast

200

A rigid substance made of cellulose that provides support and protection to the plant cells

What is the cell wall

300

This large organelle stores water, nutrients, and waste in plant cells

What is the central vacuole

400

Found in both plant and animal cells, this "control center" contains genetic material

What is the nucleus

500

This double-membrane organelle is responsible for packaging and transporting materials in the cell. 

What is the Golgi apparatus
