| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| All living organisms on Earth are made up of microscopic structures called what? | Cells |
| What are cells? | Microscopic structures by which all living organisms on Earth are made up of. |
| Cells consist of smaller pieces, called what? | Organelles. |
| What are Organelles? | They are like the “organs” of a cell; they are groups of complex molecules that help cells survive. |
| What is the Cytoplasm? | It is a suspension fluid that houses the other organelles. |
| The suspension fluid that houses the other organelles is called what? | Cytoplasm |
| What is the cell membrane (or plasma membrane)? | It is a boundary layer around the cytoplasm thus separating cells from their outside environments. |
| What is the boundary layer around the cytoplasm thus separating cells from their outside environments? | The cell membrane (or plasma membrane). |
| The secretion of the cell membrane; it provides protection from physical injury, and with the vacuole, it provides structural support is called what? | The Cell Wall |
| What is the Cell Wall? | It is a secretion of the cell membrane; it provides protection from physical injury, and with the vacuole, it provides structural support. |
| What is a vacuole? | An organelle that stores water and ingested food in a fluid sack. It also removes waste from cells and produces turgor pressure against the cell wall for cellular support |
| What is the name of an organelle that stores water and ingested food in a fluid sack? It also removes waste from cells and produces turgor pressure against the cell wall for cellular support. | Vacuole |
| What is the Nucleus? | The “brain” of the cell. |
| What is the "brain" of the cell? | The Nucleus |
| What are Ribosomes? | They are RNA and protein complexes that are found in all cells |
| What are RNA and protein complexes that are found in all cells? | Ribosomes |
| What acts like a stomach for the cell; they take in nutrients, break them down and create energy for the cell? | Mitochondria |
| What is the Mitochondria? | Its the "stomach" for the cell; they take in nutrients, break them down and create energy for the cell |
| What are the food producers in a plant cell? | Chloroplasts |
| What are Chloroplast? | They are the food producers in a plant cell. |
| Cells are able to communicate with each other mainly through what? | Nerve impulses and hormones. |
| What is Homeostasis? | It's the regulation of metabolic processes to maintain the stable internal conditions required for survival. |
| What is Osmosis? | It's a type of diffusion that specifically involves the movement of water. |
| What is Filtration? | It involves the movement of water and solute molecules across the cell membrane due to hydrostatic pressure |
