| Question | Answer |
| Cells consist of | organelles |
| All living organisms on Earth are made up of microscopic structures called | cells |
| secretion of the cell membrane; it provides protection from physical injury, and with the vacuole, it provides structural support. | cell wall |
| stores water ingested food in a fluid sack | vacuole |
| contain enzymes specialized to break down ingested materials, secretions, and wastes. | lysosomes |
| processes, sorts, and modifies proteins in cells. | Golgi apparatus |
| like the “brain” of the cell. | nucleus |
| is composed of long, thin strands of DNA which contains “instructions” that control cell metabolism and heredity | chromatin |
| like a stomach for the cell | Mitochondria |
| the food producers in a plant cell | Chloroplasts |
| transports chemicals between and within cells | endoplasmic reticulum |
| group of interconnected cells | tissue |
| a group of tissues that work together to perform a specific function | organ |
| the fourth, and highest, level of organization | Organ systems |
| send signals from the central nervous system to the cells of the rest of the body | Nerve impulses |
| are released by endocrine glands and are carried by the bloodstream to target cells | Hormones |
| The body attempts to maintain internal temperatures within this range through the process of | homeostasis |
| If the pH rises due to illness or elevated carbon dioxide levels, the body increases the | rate of respiration |
| for the pH of the blood and the cytoplasm to remain constant at about a pH of | 7.4 |
| is key in maintaining homeostasis because the membrane allows cells to regulate the materials that are entering or leaving. | cell membrane |
