(Cells and systems)

“Command Centre” Provides nutrients and growth to the cell

“Controllable gateway” Keeps good materials in, bad ones out

“Frame” Holds strength and support to the cell

“Kitchen” Holds nutrients that the cell needs to keep it alive

“Storage room” Hold nutrients, water, sugars, and other substances needed

“Powerhouse” where chemical reactions happen

“Solar Panels” carry out the suns energy into food

Made up of cells, need energy, grow and develop, respond to the environment, reproduce, adaptations

Structure- A part of an organism that performs a specific task Function- What does the task

Organs- Group of tissues that work together to perform a function Organ system- Group of organisms that perform a task

Cells—Tissues—Organs—Organ Systems

An instrument used in science to see things that can’t be seen to the naked eye

Ocular Lens= 10x Objective Lens= 4x 10x 40x

10 x 4= 40 10 x 10=100 10 x 40=400

1 milliliter

Smallest organism, and structure of life

Groups of specialized cells

Group of tissues that perform a special task

Group of organs that work together to perform a special task

Specialized structures found in an animal or plant cell that all have specific functions.

Because they function more efficiently when small

Only ONE single cell

Lack a cell wall so it is unaffected by antibiotics and harmful to humans and animals—Respiratory infections—smallest organism

Move around and capture food using foot like projections called pseudopods
