Civing Things And Cells

Question 1

Biology

Answer 1

The study of living things

Question 2

MRSFERG

Answer 2

M movement
R respiration
S sensitivity
F feeding
E excretion
R reproduction
G growth

Question 3

MOVEMENT

Answer 3

Animals can move from place to place.

Plants do not move from place to place. They move when they grow or when a flower opens and closes its petals

Question 4

Respiration

Answer 4

Respiration is the way living things get energy. They take in oxygen and mix it with food to get energy

Question 5

Livings things

Answer 5

(Organisms)

Question 6

Sensitivity

Answer 6

Sensitivity is the ability to react to changes in the environment. Animals will run away from danger, a plant will grow towards light.

Question 7

Feeding

Answer 7

Animals do not make their own food. They get their food by eating plants and other animals. Plants make their own food.

Question 8

Photosynthesis

Answer 8

The way in which plants make their own food is called photosynthesis. They need a green dye called chlorophyll. This is why plants are green.

Question 9

Excretion

Answer 9

Is the removal of waste made in the body, from the body. Animals excrete carbon dioxide, water, urea and salts.

Question 10

Reproductions

Answer 10

Is being able to make new individuals of the same kind. E.g. babies, new plants, puppies.

Question 11

Growth

Answer 11

Results from cell division.

Question 12

Cell membrane

Answer 12

Very think layer that surrounds the cell. Holds cell contents in place and controls what passes into and out of the cell.

Question 13

Nucleus

Answer 13

Is normally round. It acts as the control centre of the cell. It has the DNA.

Question 14

Cytoplasm

Answer 14

The watery liquid found between the nucleus and the cell membrane

Question 15

Mitochondria

Answer 15

Supply energy to the cell.

Question 16

Cell wall

Answer 16

Found outside the cell membrane of the plant cell. Give strength to the cell

Question 17

Vacuole

Answer 17

Space containing water, sugar and wastes - gives strength to the cell.

Question 18

Chloroplasts

Answer 18

Contain chlorophyll to help make food using sunlight (photosynthesis)

Question 19

Invertebrates

Answer 19

Animals that do not have a backbone are called invertebrates.
e.g. worm

Question 20

Vertebrates

Answer 20

Animals that have a backbone are called vertebrates. e.g. Dog

Vertebrates are normally bigger and more complex animals than invertebrates.
