Levels of Organization

Question 1

Cells

Answer 1

Living organisms are made up of cells which are like tiny building blocks

Question 2

Multicellular

Answer 2

Organisms that contain lots of cells

Question 3

Single cell

Answer 3

Organisms that consist of a single cell

Question 4

Eukaryotic cells

Answer 4

complex and include all animal and plant cells

Question 5

Prokaryotic cells

Answer 5

smaller and simpler

e.g. bacteria

Question 6

Organelles

Answer 6

tiny structures within cells

Question 7

Organelles found in animal and plant cells

Answer 7

Nucleus, cell membrane, cytoplasm mitochondria and ribosomes

Question 8

Nucleus

Answer 8

an organelle which contains the genetic material that controls the cell’s activities. Its surrounded by its own membrane

Question 9

Cell membrane

Answer 9

this membrane forms the outer surface of the cell and controls the substances that go in and out

Question 10

Cytoplasm

Answer 10

a gel like substance where most of the cell’s chemical reactions happen. It contains enzymes which control these reactions.

Question 11

Mitochondria

Answer 11

small organelles where most of the reactions for aerobic respiration takes place. Respiration transfers energy that the cell needs to work.

Question 12

Ribosomes

Answer 12

small organelles where proteins are made in the cell

Question 13

Organelles found in plant cells ONLY

Answer 13

Chloroplasts, cell wall and vacuole

Question 14

Chloroplasts

Answer 14

photosynthesis which makes food for the plant happens here. Chloroplasts contain a green substance called chlorophyll which is used in photosynthesis

Question 15

Cell wall

Answer 15

a rigid structure made of cellulose which surrounds the cell membrane. It supports the cell and strengthens it

Question 16

Vacuole

Answer 16

a large organelle that contains cell sap (a weak solution of sugars and salts). It helps to support the cell.
