How many life processes are there?
8
What is made of cell
All living things
What are the 8 life processes
Movement Respiration Sensitivity Control Growth Reproduction Excretion Nutrition
Which kingdoms are thought to be living
Fungi Animals Plants Protoctists Bacteria
What is the name of the organisms which only have 1 cell
Unicellular
Name some examples of unicellular organisms
Ameoba
Yeast
What is the name of organisms which are made fo many cell
Multicellular
What will these cells do
Differentiate
What is the definition of the word differentiate
The cells will have different shapes and structures to peform different functions
What is the name of cell that only peform a certain function?
Specialized
Name examples of specialized cells
Red blood cells
Cilia cell
What is the name of the structures inside the cell
Organelles
What is the function of the nucleus
Contains the genetic material (DNA) and controls the activities of the cell
What is the function of the cytoplasm
Contains many enzymes and is the location of most of the cell’s chemical reactions
What is the function of the mitochondria
Where aerobic respiration occurs, (which releases energy for the cell to use for other processes)
What is the function of the cell membrane
Controls the substances that pass into and out of the animal and plant cell
What are the ribosomes
Where proteins ( including enzymes) are made
What is the function of the large permanent vacuole
Contains cell sap and provides support for the plant cell
What is the function of the cell wall
Made of cellulose and gives support and strength to the plant cell
What is the function of the chloroplast
Contains chlorophyll that absorbs light energy for the process of photosynthesis that provides food for the plant
What features will you find in a typical animal cell?
Small temporary vacuole Cell membrane Nucleus Cytoplasm Ribosomes Mitochondria
What features will you find in a typical plant cell
Cell membrane Nucleus Cytoplasm Ribosomes Mitochondria Cellulose cell wall Large permanent vacuole
How is excess glucose stored as in an animal cell
Glycogen
How is excess glucose stored as in a plant cell
Starch
Describe movement
The ability to change location or position
Describe reproduction
How new individuals are made. The two types are sexual and asexual
Describe sensitivity
The ability to detect and respond to changes in the environment (stimuli). Animals use sense organs
Describe growth
The increase in weight ( or mass, young form to adult form) or volume of an organism
Describe respiration
The ability to release energy from food. Organisms can use aerobic or anerobic respiration. Chemical reactions occur in every cell
Glucose+oxygen➡️CO2+water+energy
Describe excretion
The ability to get rid of waste produced by chemical reactions in cells such as carbon dioxide
Describe nutrition
The ability to take in food materials they need to carry out all of the other life processes
Describe control
The ability to control their internal conditions
What do organelles make up
Cells
The builiding blocks
What do many cells make up
Tissue
Similar cells working in the same way peforming the same function in the same way
What do tissues make up
Organs
Groups of different tissues working together
What do many organs make up
A system
A group of organs working together
What do many systems make up
An organism
