Life Science Principles

Question 1

Organism

Answer 1

A living thing

Question 2

Cells

Answer 2

All living things are made of cells

Question 3

Bacteria Organism

Answer 3

Have one simple cell

Question 4

Complex Organisms

Answer 4

Animals and Plants

Have many different kinds of cells (trillions)

Question 5

Animals Cells

Answer 5

Different Cell: blood, bone, muscle, nerve cells

All these different types of cells look different and have a different function
Such as: blood cells carry oxygen to other cells

Question 6

Plant Cells

Answer 6

Leaf and root cells

All these types of cells look different and have a different function

Question 7

Membrane

Answer 7

Controls what moves in and out of the cell

Nutrients in, waste out

Question 8

Osmoses

Answer 8

Type of movement

Water passes through the membrane to even the concentration (proteins) on both sides

Question 9

Diffusion

Answer 9

Molecules move from a place where they are highly concentrated to one where concentration is lower.

move high to low

opposite of active transport

Question 10

Active Transport

Answer 10

Where materials move with the help of protein energy
from low to high concentration

Opposite of diffusion

Question 11

Nucleus

Answer 11

The DNA, Is the Brain

Question 12

Cytoplasm

Answer 12

All the jellylike substances outside of the nucleus

Where organelles are.

Question 13

Mitochondria

Answer 13

Make energy in the form of ATP

Organells include mitochondria

Question 14

Organelles

Answer 14

Smaller structures within the cell that have specific rolls

Organelles include mitochandria

Question 15

Ribosomes; Lysosomes

Answer 15

Hold enzymes that can break down molecules

(As in Digestion)

ATP protein-making ribosomes and lysosomes

Question 16

Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)

Answer 16

Protein-making ribosomes; lysosomes

Mitochondria make energy in the form of ATP

Question 17

Endoplasmic Reticula (ER)

Answer 17

Are tubes

Carries materials from the cytoplasm to the nucleus to the Golgi apparatus

Question 18

Golgi Apparatus

Answer 18

Modifies proteins from movement through the cells

Question 19

Vacuoles

Answer 19

Holds water and nutrients

ER

Question 20

Plants have and Animals do not

Answer 20

Cell Walls
Chloroplast
Photosynthesis

Question 21

Cell Walls

Answer 21

Make a cellulose

Makes a firm surround for the cell while still allowing movement in and out

Question 22

Chloroplasts

Answer 22

Chloroplast organelle

Found mostly in leaves

Contains chlorophyll that’s involved in photosynthesis

Question 23

Photosynthesis

Answer 23

Only in Plants

Using energy from the sun to produce own food = Glucose (Sugar)

Question 24

Autotrophs

Answer 24

Only in Plants, This reaction describes photosynthesis

Producers = make own food

Auto = self
Troph = nourishment

Question 25

Heterotrophs

Answer 25

Only in Animals

Consumes food to get energy

Hetero = Other or different

Question 26

Tissue

Answer 26

Both Animals and Plants

Similarly specialized cells grouped together

Question 27

Organs

Answer 27

Both Animals and Plants

Groups of similarly functioning tissues

Makeup organ systems

Question 28

Vestigial

Answer 28

Animals

Most organs have important functions some do not such as:
human appendix, tailbone, wisdom teeth.

These organs are vestigial

Leftover from evolutionary time

Question 29

Plant Organs

Answer 29

Leaves, Stems, Roots

Answer 30

Plant reporducctive system

Usually in the flower

Male part, Makes pollen, uses another to make pollen

Question 31

Pistil

Answer 31

Plant reproductive system

Female part

Have an ovary and egg cells

Question 32
