|---|---|
| What is the diagram for cells, organs, organisms, tissues, and organ systems? | Cells^tissues^organs^organ systems^organisms |
| Cells are: | The basic unit of structure and function in living things |
| Cell examples: | Blood, bone, nerve |
| Tissues are: | Made up of cells that are similar In structure and function and which work together to preform a specific activity |
| Examples of tissues: | Blood,nervous,bones |
| Organs are: | Made up of tissues that work together to perform a specific activity |
| Organ examples: | Heart, brain, skin |
| Organ systems are: | Groups of two or more tissues that work together to perform a specific function for the organism |
| Organ system examples: | Circulatory, nervous, skeletal |
| Organisms are: | entire living things that can carry out all basic life processes. Meaning they can take in materials, release energy from food, release wastes, grow, respond to the environment, and reproduce |
| examples of organisms: | bacteria, amoeba, mushroom, sunflower, human |
| Eukaryotic cells are: | cells that contain a nucleus |
| examples of eukaryotic cells: | plant and animal cells |
| Prokaryotic cells are: | cells that do NOT contain a nucleus |
| examples of prokaryotic cells: | bacterial cells |
| Both plant and animal cells are what type of cells? | eukaryotic |
| only plant cells contain what three parts? | cell wall, large central vacuole, and chloroplast |
| plant cells are only found in what? | plants |
| animal cells are only found in what? | animals |
| what is the cell wall: | provides and maintains the shape of the cell and serves as a protective barrier |
| what is chloroplast: | contains chlorophyll and is the site of photosynthesis in plant cells |
| what is the large central vacuole: | food and water storage in plant cells |
| what is the cell membrane: | controls what molecules are allowed into and out of cells; also known as the phospholipid bilayer and it is semi-permeable |
| what is the mitochonria: | provides energy for the cell through cellular respiration; known as the powerhouse of the cell |
| what are lysosomes: | garbage disposal of the cell; contains digestive enzymes to break down waste |
| what are ribosomes: | makes proteins, located on the rough endoplasmic reticulum and in the cytoplasm |
| what is the nucleus: | control center of the cell, contains DNA |
| what is the cytoplasm: | jelly-like fluid that fills the cell |
| what is the golgi complex: | processes, packages, and distributes proteins |
