What is an cell
A small living system with parts that work together to carry out tasks.
What are organelles
Parts of a cell that do jobs to keep the cell alive, ex. Chloroplast doing photosynthesis for energy
What is a unicellular organism
1 celled organism
What is a multicellular organism
An organism with more than 1 cell
What are the 5 groups of organism
Animals, Plants, Fungi, Protists, Bacteria
How do plants get energy
They do photosynthesis
Where can plants live
In water or land
Examples of Water Plants
Water lilies and Elodea
Are plants multicellular or unicellular
Multicellular
What are the 2 main groups of animals
Vertebrates and Invertebrates
What are vertebrates
Animals with a backbone
What are invertebrates
Animals without a backbone
Are there more invertebrates or vertebrates
There are more invertebrates
How do animals gain energy
By eating plants or animals
Are animals multicellular or unicellular
Multicellular
How do fungi gain energy
They absorb the dead or decaying matter
What process can fungi not carry out
Photosynthesis
Are fungi unicellular or multicellular
They can be both
Where are protists usually found
Wet or moist environments
Do protists have the cell of a plant or animal cell
They have both, it depends on what type of protists, for example amoeba have animal like cells
How do protists gain energy
Protists with plant like cells can do photosynthesis and those that have animal like cells have to hunt for food
Are protists unicellular or multicellular
They can be both
What is bacteria called
The most basic organism
Do bacteria have a nucleus
No
What is a bacterium
A colony of bacteria
Are bacteria unicellular or multicellular
Unicellular
What are unicellular organisms most commonly called
Micro-Organisms
Can you see unicellular organism with the naked eye
No you need a microscope
Nutriton
The way we get energy
How do bacteria and fungi gain nutrients
By interacting with each other
Euglena
A protist that has organelles of a plant cell and animal cell, it can do photosynthesis
Paramecia
An animal like protist that lives in aquatic environments
Cilia on paramecia
They are all around the protist and they beat in unison to create water currents to move in
Oral grove in a paramecia
It contains cilia to make water currents for food to come in the grove
Anal pore in a paramecia
The area in which the waste is discarded
Food vacuoles in paramecia
The nutrients from the food in the vacuole diffuses into the cytoplasm
Amoeba
Another animal-like protist
What are the two main processes Amoeba uses
Phagocytosis and Exocytosis
Phagocytosis steps
The organism moves to the food particle and extends its pseudopods
It creates a food vacuole after fully incasing the food particle
What gas do most organisms need to survive
Oxygen
What gas exchange happens when we need to get nutrients out of food using a chemical reaction
We use oxygen and release carbon dioxide as waste
