|
All living things are made up of . . .
|
cells
|
|
|
the smallest unit of a living thing that can carry out basic processes of life is the
|
cell
|
|
|
What makes the plant cell different than the animal cell? (2 things)
|
Cell Wall - gives extra support
Plant cells produce FOOD for the plant - animal cells can't produce food. |
|
|
List the organelles in an ANIMAL cell (5)
|
Cell membrane
cytoplasm nucleus mitochondria vacuole |
|
|
List the organelles in a PLANT cell (7)
|
cell wall (gives support)
chloroplasts (produce food/energy) cytoplasm cell membrane mitochondria vacuole nucleus |
|
|
What is the green chemical in a plant cell that helps make energy called?
|
chlorophyll
|
|
|
What is the layer around the outside of an animal cell called?
|
Cell membrane
|
|
|
This is inside the cell membrane and is a gel-like substance that supports all of the organelles
|
cytoplasm
|
|
|
the large spherical structure found at the center of a cell is the . . .
It controls the activity of the cell. |
nucleus
|
|
|
these are oval sacs in a cell and they break down food and turn it into energy for the cell.
|
mitochondria
|
|
|
These store water, food and waste for a cell.
|
vacuoles
|
|
|
Found in only plant cells, this is an extra, hard layer around the cell. it is made from cellulose.
|
cell wall
|
|
|
In a plant there is only one large one of these - it stores water and provides support
|
vacuole
|
|
|
This is where a plant cell turns sunlight into energy using chlorophyll.
|
chloroplasts
|
|
|
an individual living thing is called an
|
organism
|
|
|
a ONE celled organism is called a
|
unicellular organism
|
|
|
an organism with many cells is called a
|
multicellular organism
|
|
|
a group of similar cells in an organism is called
|
tissue
|
|
|
Different examples of tissue in an animal are
|
bone and muscle tissue
|
|
|
Different examples of tissue in a plant are
|
the flesh of a fruit
|
|
|
lungs, heart and stomach are examples of
|
organs found in an animal
|
|
|
the main organ in the root system of a plant is the
|
root
|
|
|
this organ system transports blood and oxygen in an animal
|
heart or cardio-vascular system
|
|
|
how are cells organized in multicellular systems?
|
they are organized into organs and tissues - or systems which work together
|
|
|
Why do we classify organisms?
|
To understand what animals are similar and to help scientist name and catagorize them.
|
|
|
In a classification system, the broadest group is called the (top of the pyramid)
|
kingdom
|
|
|
animals with a backbone are called
|
virtibrates
|
|
|
all organisms in the plant kingdom produce their own
|
food
|
|
|
The two main groups in the plant kingdom are
|
vascular and non-vascular
|
|
|
plants with a system of tubes that help move food and water (like a root system) are called
|
vascular plants
|
|
|
plants without a tube like system, which transport food and water directly from the ground are called
|
Non-vascular plants
|
|
|
flowers and pine trees are - (vascular or non-vascular)
|
vascular
|
|
|
moss is (vascular or non-vascular)
|
non-vascular
|
|
|
What is bacteria?
give an example |
simple, tiny unicellular organisms with not distinct nucleus.
example: diseases like 'strep' |
|
|
What are protists?
|
they are uni or multi-cellular organisms that don't fit anywhere else. They have a distinct nucleus and usually live in water.
They lack specialization |
|
|
What is an example of a plant-like protist?
|
algae
|
|
|
What are fungi?
Give examples |
organisms that can not make their own food but absorb it from dead or decaying organisms.
Example: mushrooms, mold, yeast |
