---|---|---|---|---|
What is a cell?
What is the lowest level of organization in living things?
|
What is the nucleus?
DNA is found in this organelle.
|
What is a cell?
The basic unit of life?
|
What is photosynthesis?
The process by which plants make their own food.
|
What is a tropism?
The movement of plant growth in response to a stimulus.
|
What is an organism?
The highest level of organization in living things.
|
What is the mitochondria?
This organelle produces energy and is sometimes called the "powerhouse" of the cell.
|
What is the Cell Theory?
A theory that was states that all living things are composed of cells, cells are the unit of life, and all life come from preexisting life.
|
What are sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water?
The three things plants need in order to make their own food.
|
What is phototropism?
The movement of plant growth in response to light.
|
What is a tissue?
A group of cells working together to perform a specific function.
|
What is the cell wall?
This organelle is only found in plant cells and gives the cell shape and structure.
|
What is a microscope?
The invention of this tool was important for the discovery of cells.
|
What are oxygen and glucose (sugar)?
The two things plants produce during photosynthesis.
|
What is thigmotropism?
The movement of plant growth in response to touch or pressure.
|
What is an organ?
A group of similar tissues working together to perform a specific function.
|
What is a plant cell.
A cell that contains a cell wall, a large central vacuole, and chloroplasts.
|
What is a piece of cork?
Robert Hooke discovered cells by looking at this through a microscope.
|
What is a chloroplast?
An organelle that contains chlorophyll and absorbs sunlight during photosynthesis.
|
What is geotropism or gravitropism?
The movement of plant growth in response to gravity.
|
What is an organ system?
The skeletal system is an example of this level of organization
|
What is a vacuole?
This organelle is very large in plant cells but smaller in animal cells.
|
What is a botanist?
A type of scientist that studies plants, like Matthias Schleiden.
|
What is the leaf?
The part of the plant where photosynthesis takes place.
|
What is a stimulus?
Something that causes a response.
