Term
Chloroplast
Definition
Organelle, found in plants and algae, where sunlight is used to make food.
Term
Circulatory System
Definition
Body system that moves blood about the body.
Term
Cytoplasm
Definition
A gel-like material that surrounds all parts of the cell within the membrane.
Term
Diffusion
Definition
The simplest kind of passive transport. A process that spreads substances through a gas or liquid.
Term
Hormone
Definition
Act as messages - they travel through the bloodstream and are picked up by only certain cells.
Term
Immune System
Definition
Body system that recognizes and attacks invading cells.
Term
Infectious Disease
Definition
Caused by a harmful organism or viruses. Bacteria and some types of fungi are common causes.
Term
Musculoskeletal System
Definition
Supports all parts of the body and allows movement of different parts of the body.
Term
Nervous System
Definition
Controls movements and other organ systems - brain is the headquarters.
Term
Non-infectious Disease
Definition
Occur when the body system doesn't function properly, can't be spread from one person to another, some are inherited, come with age, or caused by poor nutrition.
Term
Nucleus
Definition
The control center for the cell. It carries information for reproduction and directs all cell activities.
Term
Organelle
Definition
Small structures with specific jobs.
Term
Organ
Definition
Made up of several tissue types that work together to perform one or more functions.
Term
Osmosis
Definition
A form of diffusion that takes place across a membrane.
Term
Tissue
Definition
A group of cells that has a common structure and function.
Term
What is the function of the mitochondria?
Definition
Provide energy
Term
What is the function of the vacuoles?
Definition
Store material
Term
What is the function of the Nucleus?
Definition
Cell control center; reproduction
Term
What is the function of the cell membrane?
Definition
Structure and transport
Term
What is the function of the Golgi bodies and endoplasmic reticulum?
Definition
Transport
Term
All living things are made up of cells. To stay alive and healthy, they need what?
Definition
Cells need food, water, and a way to eliminate waste.
Term
In cell transportation, which is cells expend no energy - substances diffuse across the cell membrane from regions of high concentration to regions of low concentration.
Definition
Passive transport
Term
In Cell transportation, which is the cells must expend energy to move material across the membrane - move from regions of low concentration to regions of high concentration. Forming vesicles is one way this is done.
Definition
Active Transport
Term
How do plants make sugar?
Definition
Photosynthesis - make food by using the energy in sunlight.
Term
In cell respiration, mitochondria performs this process and energy from the sugar is stored in what?
Definition
ATP molecules
Term
List the parts of the animal cell.
Definition
Mitochondrion, vacuole, nucleus, cell membrane, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi bodies, and cytoplasm.
Term
List the parts of the plant cell.
Definition
Cell wall, cell membrane, Cytoplasm, Mitochondrion, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi bodies, chloroplast, vacuole, and nucleus.
Term

Definition
Photosynthesis
Term
List some human organs.
Definition

Definition
Provides the body with oxygen and helps keep body temperature constant.
Term
What is the function of the urinary system?
Definition
Removes liquid waste
Term
What is the function of the musculoskeletal system?
Definition
Supports body and enables movement
Term
