| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| smallest structure that carries out activities necessary for life | cell |
| structure that performs a specific function within a cell | organelle |
| all cells share these 3 features | cell membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm |
| the outer covering of the cell | cell membrane |
| In addition to the cell membrane plants have this outer covering | cell wall |
| controls activities of a cell and carries genetic information | nucleus |
| gel-like material that surrounds all parts of the cell within the cell membrane | cytoplasm |
| Special organelle found in plants that combines energy from sunlight with water and CO2 to create glucose | chloroplast |
| Process of combining energy from sunlight with water and CO2 to create glucose | photosynthesis |
| the spread of particles evenly through a liquid or gas | diffusion |
| the simplest kind of diffusion in which particles move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration | passive transport |
| diffusion through a membrane in which certain particles are filtered out | osmosis |
| movement of particles from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration (requires energy) | active transport |
| green pigment found in cloropolasts that allow them to capture energy from sunlight | chlorophyll |
| this simple sugar is created during photosynthesis | glucose |
| organelle in which respiration takes place | mitochondria |
| this process is the opposite of photosynthesis | respiration |
| the process which allows organisms to grow | cell division |
| as cells divide they differentiate and ... | specialize |
| a group of cells that have a common structure and function | tissue |
| type of cells that cover surfaces | epithelial |
| type of tissue that joins other tissues together | connective |
| tissue that creates movement | muscle |
| several types of tissue that work together to perform one or more functions | organ |
| system that provides body with oxygen | circulatory system |
| system that removes liquid wastes | urinary system |
| system that supports body and enables movement | musculoskeletal system |
| system that obtains nutrients from food | digestive system |
| system that contols movements and other organs | nervous system |
| largest organ in the human body | skin |
| system that produces hormones to signal changes in the body | endocrine system |
| chemicals produced by glands that act as messengers in the body | hormones |
