🗑
cell membrane   holds cell in place  
🗑
cytoplasm   controls what enters and leaves  
🗑
vacuole   stores material like wastes  
🗑
mitochondria   produce energy  
🗑
cell wall   protects and supports the plant cell  
🗑
chloroplast   traps light energy  
🗑
Diffusion   movement of the amount of a substance from an area of higher concentration to a area of lower concentration(temperature may change the speed)  
🗑
Osmosis   is the diffusion of water  
🗑
respiratory system   controls breathing  
🗑
skeletal system   has bones that support the body and work with muscle to move the body  
🗑
nervous system   has nerves that detect, signal, and respond to changes in the enviroment  
🗑
excretory system   to remove liquid and gas waste  
🗑
endocrine system   makes hormones  
🗑
digestive system   takes in and break down food, absorbs nutrients and get rid of solid waste  
🗑
integumentary system   protects the body and includes skin, hair and nails  
🗑
reproductive system   include organs to produce offspring  
🗑
immune system   defends the body against infection  
🗑
muscular system   has muscles that work with bones to move the body  
🗑
circulatory system   moves blood, gases, nutrients and wastes  
🗑
carbohydrates   is the fastest source of energy (bread, rice)  
🗑
proteins   helps build muscles, skin, nails and hair (fish and nuts are some examples)  
🗑
fat   use to build cell membrane and can be save in body as energy  
🗑
Innate immune response   quick, general and non specific. WHich means it responses when the body recognize the invader. Examples are, inflammation and phagocytes (white blood cells)  
🗑
Acquired immune response   The phagocytes send a signal to helper T cell to find the specific B cell to defeat this invader. B cell launches antibody to provide antigen to spread. If it doesn't kill them, your body finally activates killer T cells, which destroy everything.
