Key term : stem cells
Unspecialized/simple cells that can become any kind of cell in animals
Key term : meristematic
Simple cell that can become anything in plants
Key term : Cell specialization
Process where simple cells turn into complex cells with a function, special shape, unique internal structure or unique connection with other cells
Key term : epithelial
Cells - tightly packed together
Tissue - covers and protects body
Ex. Upper layer of skin
Animals
Key term : muscle cells/tissue
Cells - contains proteins which relax and contract
Tissue - allows movement
Ex muscle in heart
Animal
Key term : nervous tissue/cell
Cells - have branches to connect together
Tissue - transmits and responds to information
Ex. Veins in arms
(Animals)
Key term : connective tissue
Cells - variety of structures and shapes
Tissue - support and protection
Ex. Red blood cells in blood
Key term : red blood cells
Type of blood cells that is made in bone marrow and found in blood
Key term : epidermal tissue
Cells - tightly packed with some holes
Tissue - protects out cover
Ex. Stomata - Cells on leaves with space
(Plant)
Key term : vascular
Cells - connected to form long tubes
Tissues - moves substances between roots and leaves
Ex. Xylem and phloem
Key term : Meristematic tissues/cells
Cells - simple cells undergoing division
Tissue - grows new parts of plants
Ex. Buds
(Plants)
Key term : ground cells/tissue
cells - variety of shapes, structure and function
Tissue - supports and protects
Ex. Mesosphyll
Key term : Stomata
Cells on leaves with spaces
Key term : xylem + phloem
Xylem - transports water
Phloem - transports sugars
Mesosphyll
The cells in leaves for photosynthesis
Diffusion
How oxygen moves blood - movement from areas “oxygen moves blood via diffusion”
Key term : Integumentary system
Covers and protects body
Key term : muscular system
Generate movement of body and within body
Key term : skeletal system
Provides shape, support, and protection
Key term : circulatory/cardiovascular systems
Distribute nutrients and collects waste from the body.
Key term : nervous system
Controls body by sending and receiving signals
