Term
What type of cells are shown below?
[image]
Definition
Animal cells (human blood cells).
Term
What type of cell is shown below?
[image]
Definition
A plant cell.
Term
The science word that means "any living thing."
Definition
ORGANISM
Term
Every organism is -
Definition
made up of cells.
Term
Organisms that are made up of only one cell can only be seen with a -
Definition
microscope. (They are MICROSCOPIC)
Term
Different types of cells do -
Definition
different jobs.
Term
Name at least three different types of cells that make up your body:
Definition
Blood cells, brain cells, nerve cells, skin cells, hair cells, etc.
Term
Name two cell parts that PLANT cells have that ANIMAL cells do not have:
Definition
CELL WALL and CHLOROPLASTS
Term
Are these animal cells or plant cells?
[image]
Definition
They are PLANT cells (from an onion). Did you notice how the cell walls make them look like building blocks?
Term
To what part of these plant cells is the arrow pointing?
[image]
Definition
It's pointing to one of the plant cell's CELL WALL.
Term
To what part of these plant cells is the arrow pointing?
[image]
Definition
It's pointing to the NUCLEUS of one of the plant cells.
Term
Name four cell parts that are found in both plant and animal cells:
Definition
CELL MEMBRANE, CYTOPLASM, VACUOLES, and the NUCLEUS.
Term
This part of a cell acts as the cell's "gatekeeper"; it controls what goes in and out of the cell.
Definition
CELL MEMBRANE
Term
This part of a cell is the watery gel inside the membrane. The other inside parts of the cell "float" in this stuff.
Definition
CYTOPLASM
Term
These cell parts are used for storage.
Definition
VACUOLE
[image]
Term
This part of the cell is the "brain" or "control center" of the cell.
Definition
NUCLEUS
Term
When we use our classroom as a model of a cell, which kind of cell does it represent and why?
Definition
Our classroom makes a good model of a PLANT CELL, because it has obvious WALLS.
Term
In our classroom cell model, what represents the cell membrane?
Definition
The door - which isn't a perfect model because our classroom only opens in one place.
Term
In our classroom cell model, what represents the cytoplasm?
Definition
The air surrounding us.
Term
In our classroom cell model, what represents the vacuoles?
Definition
The closets.
Term
In our classroom cell model, what represents the nucleus?
Definition
Mr. Schulz.
Term
In our classroom cell model, what should we have that could represent chloroplasts?
Definition
Green plants. (Duh!)
Term
What do chloroplasts do?
Definition
They make chlorophyll, which is the chemical that plants use to turn sunlight into sugar (so they can make their own food).
Term
The three main ways that scientists classify organisms into the Five Kingdoms are:
Definition
  1. How many cells it has (one or many).
  2. How it gets food.
  3. Whether or not it can move on its own.
Term
Name the three Kingdoms that are made up of multi-cellular organisms:
Definition
PLANTAE (plant), ANIMALIA (animal), and FUNGI.
Term
Organisms in this Kingdom are multi-cellular, usually move around on their own, and ingest (eat) other organisms.
Definition
ANIMAL KINGDOM
Term
Name at least three examples of animals:
Definition
Humans (mammals), alligators (reptiles), bullfrogs (amphibians), eagles (birds), trout (fish), ants, spiders, and lobsters (arthropods), etc.
Term
Organisms in this Kingdom are multi-cellular, do not move around on their own, and produce their own food.
Definition
PLANT KINGDOM
Term
Name at least three examples of plants:
Definition
Rose, corn, grass, maple tree, moss, liverwort, etc. (Notice that plants are GREEN because they contain CHLOROPHYLL).
Term
The two main groups of the Animal Kingdom are the -
Definition
VERTEBRATES and INVERTEBRATES.
Term
Vertebrates are animals that -
Definition
have a backbone (spine).


These go "Ouch!" when you step on them.
Term
Invertebrates are animals that -
Definition
do not have a backbone (spine).


"SQUISH!" or "CRACK! SQUISH!"
Term
Are snakes vertebrates or invertebrates?
Definition
Yep, they're VERTEBRATES, alright.[image]
Term
Name at least three vertebrates:
Definition
People, dogs, cats, fish, birds, snakes, etc.
Term
Name at least three invertebrates:
Definition
Flies, bees, ants, spiders, millipedes, earthworms, slugs, snails, starfish, lobsters, clams, sponges, coral, etc.
Term
The two main groups in the Plant Kingdom are -
Definition
VASCULAR plants and NONVASCULAR plants.
Term
Vascular plants are plants that have -
Definition
tubes running through them that carry water and nutrients. (Remember the celery and the food coloring?)
Term
Nonvascular plants are plants that -
Definition
do not have tubes inside them. (These are usually short, green, and strange-looking.)
