What is a Cell? It is considered the basic unit of life. They are specialized for specific function.
What is a Tissue? Many similar cells that together perform a common function.
What is an Organ? Two or more tissues working together for a specialized function.
What is an Organ System? A group of organs working together to perform a function.
What is an Organism? All living things are organisms and are composed of many organ systems.
What is a Population? It is a group of organisms belonging to the same species that live in the same area and interact with one another.
What is a Community? It is all the populations of different species that live in the same area and interact with one another. It is composed of all the biotic (living) factors of an area.
What is an Ecosystem? It includes the living organisms in an area and the non-living (abiotic) aspects of the environment.
What is the main function of the Nucleus? It is the control center of the cell, holds genetic information (DNA). Found: In ALL Eukaryotic Cells (Both Plant and Animal).
What is the main function of the Cell Membrane? Allow items to enter/exit the cell. Keeps bad stuff out. Found: In ALL Cells (Plant and Animal) and bacteria
What is the main function of the Cell Wall? Rigid wall helps plants keep their shape, keep bad stuff out. Found: in plant cells only.
What is the main function of the Vacuoles? Stores water and transports waste. Larger size in plant cells.
What is the main function of the Mitochondria? To make food (glucose) through photosynthesis. Found: In ALL Eukaryotic Cells (Plant and Animal).
What is the main function of the Chloroplast? To make food (glucose) through photosynthesis. Found: ONLY in plant cells!
What is the main function of the Cytoplasm? Jelly-like material inside the cell membrane. All organelles can be found here.
How do cells maintain homeostasis? Extracting energy from food, Getting rid of waste, and Cell Reproduction.
How does an organism maintain homeostasis? All of an organism’s organ systems work together to keep balance.
What is the chemical reaction for Photosynthesis? 6CO2 + 6H2O + Sunlight → C6H12O6 + 6O2 carbon dioxide enters and sugar and oxygen are produced.
What is the chemical reaction for Cellular Respiration? C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + 38 ATP sugar and oxygen enter, and carbon dioxide, water and energy (ATP) are released.
What is the main function of the Musculo-Skeletal system? Your bones give your body support and allows motion.
What is the main function of the Circulatory System? The heart pumps blood (carrying oxygen and nutrients) to all of your cells.
