Cells to Organisms 2
Stack for Cells and Organisms
Question | Answer |
---|---|
How does the breakdown of food (digestion) help your cells? | Digestion releases energy and matter from food for cells to use |
Define protist | An organism made of a single cell with a nucleus. It is not an animal, plant, bacteria, or fungus |
Define bacteria | Single-celled organisms that do not have a nucleus or other membrane-bound organelles |
Define virus | A microbe that is not made of cells that cannot grow, reproduce, or survive outside of a living cell |
Define multicellular organism | An organism made up of many cells |
Define cells | The smallest structural unit of life, enclosed by a membrane, makes up all living organisms |
Define cell theory | All living organisms are made up of cells. Cells are the basic units of structure and function in living organisms. New cells are made from existing cells. |
Which organelle conducts cellular respiration? | mitochondria |
What types of cells have a mitochondria? | Animal cells and plant cells |
Define the germ theory of disease | The theory that microbes cause infectious diseases |
What is the function of the cell membrane? | The structure that separates the cell from its external environment |
Which types of cells have a cell membrane? | Animal, plant, bacteria, protists (all cells have a cell membrane) |
List these structures from largest to smallest: Tissue, Organelle, Cell, Organ | organ←tissue←cell←organelle |
Define nucleus | The part of the cell that contains genetic material |
Where is the genetic material located in a cell? | The nucleus |
List the following organisms in order from smallest to largest: protist, virus, bacteria | virus→bacteria→protist |
What are the trade-offs of looking under the microscope with the highest power objective? | Harder to see clearly, difficult to locate other organisms, can only see a very small section of the slide at a time |
What is the most basic unit of organization for all living things? | cell |
What type of organism does penicillin kill? | Bacteria only |
Define unicellular (single-celled) organism. | An organism made up of one cell |
Define immune system | The body’s protection from invading microbes |
Which structures do plant cells have that animal cells do not? | Cell wall, chloroplasts |
What do plant cells use for photosynthesis? (ingredients) | Carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight |
Where do these things come from? | Carbon dioxide comes from the air Water comes from the soil Sunlight energy radiates from the sun |
How does the plant obtain them? | Plants obtain carbon dioxide by absorbing it from the air, they obtain water by absorbing it from the ground using their roots, they obtain sunlight energy by absorbing it through the chloroplasts |
What are the products of photosynthesis? | Glucose (food) and oxygen |
What do animal cells use for cellular respiration? (ingredients) | Glucose and oxygen |
Where do these things come from? | Glucose comes from food breakdown Oxygen comes from the air |
How does the animal obtain them? | Animals get glucose by digesting their food Animals get oxygen by breathing through their respiratory systems |
What are the products of cellular respiration? | Energy, water, and carbon dioxide |
