SOL 5.5 Living Systems – Study Guide
1. What is a cell?
1. A cell is the basic unit, or building
block, that makes up all living things.
2. What is the shape of an animal
cell?
2. Animal cells can have a round or
irregular shape.
3. What are the parts of the animal
cell?
3. The parts include the cell
membrane, the cytoplasm, the
nucleus, and vacuoles.
4. What is the cell membrane and
what does it do?
4. It is a thin outer layer that
surrounds the cell and holds it
together. It controls what comes into
the cell and what leaves the cell
(food, water, oxygen, wastes).
5. What is the function of the
nucleus?
5. The nucleus is the cell’s command
center. It controls all of the cell’s
activities (making, using, storing
food).
6. What is the cytoplasm?
6. A jelly-like material that fills the
inside of the cell.
7. What is the function of the
vacuole?
7. Vacuoles store food and water
that the cell will use later. Some
vacuoles also store waste materials
until the cell is ready to get rid of
them.
8. What is the shape of a plant cell?
8. Rectangular
9. What are the parts of the plant
cell?
9. cell wall, cell membrane,
cytoplasm, nucleus, chloroplasts, and
vacuoles.
10. What is the function of the cell
wall?
10. a thick cell wall surrounds each
cell. The cell wall protects the
delicate contents of the cell.
11. What is the function of the
chloroplasts?
11. They use sunlight to produce
food. Chloroplasts contain the green
chlorophyll used to make food during
photosynthesis.
12. What are two differences
between an animal and plant cell?
12. Shape, plant has chloroplasts
and a cell wall
13. *** Know how to draw and
label an animal and plant cell.
13. Look at your notes on the
diagrams of both a plant and animal
cell.
14. What are the 5 kingdoms of
living things?
14. animal, plant, moneran,
protists, and fungi
15. Describe the animal kingdom
15. made up of organisms that have
many cells. They must eat other
plants and animals to survive.
16. Describe the plant kingdom
16. Plants can be vascular or
nonvascular, they also make their
own food.
17. Describe the moneran kingdom
17. can produce their own food, or
feed off other organisms. Some are
harmful, others are helpful. These
can include algae, bacteria, viruses.
18. Describe the protist kingdom
18. These are single-celled
organisms that are found in watery
environments or inside the bodies of
animals as parasites.
19. Describe the fungi kingdom
19. Fungi live and grow on their
source of food. They live in dark,
damp places. These include
mushrooms, yeast, mold.
20. What is a vascular plant?
20. Vascular plants have special
cells and tissues that carry water and
food from the soil to the other parts
of the plant. Flowers, grass, plants
21. What is a non vascular plant?
21. A plant that acts like a sponge
soaking up any water that forms on
their surfaces; moss, liverworts
22. What is a vertebrate animal?
22. Animals with backbones
23. What is an invertebrate animal?
23. Animals without backbones
24. List the 5 sub groups for
vertebrate animals.
24. fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds,
and mammals
