Vocab words: UNICELLULAR ORGANISMS (Don’t forget to highlight key words!)
Organisms that are made up of only one cell, which have to carry out ALL
life functions.
A cell that can become many different types of cells
A unicellular organism made of one prokaryotic cell, without a nucleus.
Example: bacteria
The locations for adult stem cells
A unicellular organism made of one eukaryotic cell, with a nucleus.
Examples: algae and fungus that causes athletes foot
A specialized structure located inside eukaryotic cells.
The name given to a fertilized egg
The location where many stem cells are found
Vocab words: MULTICELLULAR ORGANISMS (Don’t forget to highlight key words!
Be able to match these with appropriate pictures! (Levels of Organization Mini-Lab)
A cell in a multicellular organism that performs one function (has one job)
Groups of similar types of cells that work together to carry out specific
tasks. Examples: vascular (plants), connective (animals)
Groups of different tissues working together to perform a particular job.
Examples: roots, stem, leaves (plants), heart, brain, lungs (animals)
Groups of different organs that work together to complete a series of tasks.
Examples: shoot/root system (plants), digestive/immune system (animals)
Group of organ systems that work together to carry out all the jobs needed
for survival. The highest level of organization. Examples: sunflower, dog
Stem cells in animals are similar to this in plants. Found on the tip of plant
roots.
Vascular
dermal
ground
Epithelial
connective
muscle
nervous
Types of Tissue: PLANTS (Don’t forget to highlight key words!)
Protection and prevention of water loss
Photosynthesis, food storage, regeneration, support, and protection
Transport of water and mineral, transport of food
Types of Tissue: ANIMALS (Don’t forget to highlight key words!)
Helps support our body
Examples: bone, cartilage, blood
Skin and other important organs are lined with this
Sends signals to the brain
Three types of this tissue. Voluntary or skeletal (contain long fibers that
help us move), cardiac (help our heart beat), and smooth (food digestion)
Fiber
Differentiation
Complex
Other Vocab: (Don’t forget to highlight key words!)
Made of two or more cell parts
Process in which cells become specialized
Basic unit of life
A long muscle cell, thread like
A series of repeat events or activities
Cycle
Cell
