| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| adapted | When something has certain features to help it do a particular job. When the features of a cell help it do its job, the cell is said to be ‘adapted’ to its job. |
| anther | Part of the stamen. It produces pollen grains. |
| brain | Organ that controls what the body does. |
| breathing system | Takes in oxygen and gets rid of carbon dioxide from our bodies. |
| carpel | Female reproductive organ found in flowers. It is made of a stigma, style and ovary. |
| cell | The basic unit which living things are made of. |
| cell division | When a cell splits in two. Cells are made using cell division. |
| cell surface membrane | Controls what goes into and out of a cell. |
| cell wall | Tough wall around plant cells. Helps to support the cell. |
| chlorophyll | Green substance found inside chloroplasts. |
| chloroplast | Green disc containing chlorophyll. Found in plant cells. Where the plant makes food using photosynthesis. |
| cilia | Small hairs on some cells. |
| ciliated | Having cilia. |
| ciliated epithelial cell | Cell with cilia found in the lungs. |
| circulatory system | Carries oxygen and food around the body. |
| coverslip | Thin piece of glass used to hold a specimen in place on a slide. |
| cytoplasm | Jelly inside a cell where the cell’s activities happen. |
| daughter cell | The two new cells made by cell division are called daughter cells. |
| digestive system | Breaks down our food. |
| egg cell | The female sex cell in plants. |
| embryo | Tiny plant, found inside a seed, with a very small shoot and a very small root. |
| eyepiece lens | Part of the microscope you look down. |
| fertilisation | Joining of a male sex cell with a female sex cell. |
| fertilised egg cell | What is produced when a male sex cell fuses with an egg cell. |
| filament | Part of the stamen. It supports the anther. |
| flower | Organ system containing reproductive organs – carpel (female), stamen (male). |
| focusing wheel | Wheel on a microscope that moves parts of the microscope to get the image into focus. |
| fruit | Something used to carry seeds. Can be fleshy or dry. |
| heart | Organ that pumps blood. |
| image | What you see down a microscope. |
| intestine | The small intestine is an organ used to digest and absorb food. |
| The large intestine is an organ which removes water from unwanted food. | |
| kidneys | Organs used to clean the blood and make urine. |
| leaf | Plant organ used to make food using photosynthesis. |
| liver | Organ used to make and destroy substances in our bodies. |
| lungs | Organs used to take oxygen out of the air and put waste carbon dioxide into the air. |
| magnification | How much bigger a microscope makes something appear. |
| microscope | Used to magnify small things. |
| microscope | Used to magnify small things. |
| muscle cell | Cell that can change its length and so help us to move. |
| nerve cell | Cell that carries messages around the body. |
| nervous system | Carries messages around the body. |
| neurone | Another name for a nerve cell. |
| nucleus | Controls what a cell does. |
| objective lens | Part of the microscope that is closest to what you are looking at. |
| organ | A large part of a plant or animal that does a very important job. |
| organ system | Collection of organs working together to do a very important job. |
| ovary | Part of the carpel. It contains ovules, each of which contains an egg cell. |
| ovule | Contains egg cells. Is found in the ovary. |
| palisade cell | Cell found in leaves which contains many chloroplasts. |
| photosynthesis | Process that plants use to make their own food. It needs light to work. |
| photosynthesis | Process that plants use to make their own food. It needs light to work. Carbon dioxide and water are used up. Food and oxygen are produced. |
| pollen grain | The male sex cell in plants. |
| pollen tube | Tube that grows from a pollen grain down through the stigma and style and into the ovary. |
| pollination | Transfer of pollen from an anther to a stigma. |
| reproductive organ | Organ that produces sex cells. |
| root | Plant organ used to take water out of the soil. |
| root hair cell | Cell found in roots. It has a large surface area to help the cell absorb water quickly. |
| root hair tissue | Found in roots. Takes in water from the soil. |
| seed | Contains a plant embryo and a store of food. |
| seed coat | Hard outer covering of a seed. |
| sex cell | A cell used for sexual reproduction. |
| sexual reproduction | Producing new organisms by combining a male and a female sex cell from two different parents. |
| skin | Organ used for protection and feeling. |
| slide | Glass sheet that a specimen is put on. |
| specimen | What you look at down a microscope. |
| stage | Part of the microscope. You put slides on it. |
| stain | Dye used to colour parts of a cell to make them easier to see. |
| stamen | Male reproductive organ found in flowers. It is made of an anther and a filament. |
| stem | Plant organ used to take water to the leaves and to support the leaves. |
| stigma | Part of the carpel. It is where pollen lands. |
| stomach | Organ used to store and break up food. |
| style | Part of the carpel connecting the stigma to the ovary. |
| tissue | A group of the same cells all doing the same job. |
| vacuole | Storage space in plant cells. |
| variety | A plant or animal that is in some way different from its parents. |
| xylem tissue | Found in roots, stems and leaves. Transports water. |
| xylem tube | Hollow tube formed from xylem cells and used to carry water up a plant. |
