whats mrs gren
Movement
Respiration
Sensitivity
Growth
Reproduction
Excretion
Nutrition
whats movement
changing your position in response to your surroundings – perhaps to escape from danger or to hunt for food.
whats respiration
Respiration releases energy from food stored glucose, reacting with oxygen from breathing, for survival and other processes. Breathing is not the same as respiration
whats reproduction
the ability to create offspring, to replace those that have died and ensure survival of the species.
whats excretion
…removing waste products from the body.
whats nutrition
feeding on food to gain the energy needed for the other processes and nutrients needed to maintain good health.
whats tissue
A number of identical cells working together form a tissue.
whats organ
A number of tissues form an organ.
whats organ system
A number of organs working together form organ systems, which we need to perform the life processes.
whats nucleus
Contains DNA; controls the cell’s functions
whats mitochondria
Respiration takes place here, releasing energy
whats cell membrane
Controls substances entering and leaving the cell
whats cytoplasm
Gel-like substance, where most chemical reactions take place
what 4 organelles are in animal cells
cytoplasm,cell membrane,mitochondria,nucleus
whats chloroplasts
Contains chlorophyll, traps light, required for photosynthesis
whats vacuole
Contains a solution of water, sugars and salts
whats cell wall
Made of cellulose, provides support and structure to the cell
what 7 organelles are in plant cells
cytoplasm,cell membrane,mitochondria,nucleus, chloroplasts,vacuole,cell wallw
true or false bacteria cells are multi cellular
false they are single celled organisms
facts about bacteria
Bacteria are small, simple organisms with DNA in the cytoplasm, surrounded by a nuclear membrane, and occasionally possess small hairs called flagella for movement and quick reproduction.
what are specialised cells
specialised cells have different shapes or functions that enable them to do a specific job effectively
what are the four main types of microorganism
fungi protozoa bacteria viruses
what is fungi
fungi are singled celled and invade and absorb their nutrients such as mold
