| What do we call the jelly-like fluid between the cell membrane and the nucleus? | Cytoplasm |
| What is the name of a thin, living cell covering in plant and animal cells? | Cell membrane |
| What is a vacuole? | A storage sac in a cell |
| What is another name for a living thing? | An organism |
| Organisms make copies of themselves. What od we call this process? | Reproduction |
| What do we call the stiff, nonliving covering of a plant cell? | Cell wall |
| How many coverings do plant cells have, and what are they called? | Two, the cell wall and the cell membrane |
| What job does the nucleus perform in a cell? | The nucleus controls the work of all parts of the cell. |
| Are chloroplasts usually found in plant or animal cells? | Chloroplasts are usually found in plant cells only. |
| Chloroplasts trap sunlight and use it to make sugar from what two compounds? | Water and carbon dioxide |
| What are the five kingdoms of living things? | The five kingdoms are animal, plant, fungi, moneran, and protist. |
| What is photosynthesis? | Photosynthesis is the process in which plants make food from water and carbon dioxide while in the presence of sunlight. |
| Describe nonvascular plants. | Plants that do not have roots, stems, leaves, or the vascular tissues to transport water |
| What do we call the control center of a cell? | The nucleus |
| In which kingdom is a cactus found? | The plant kingdom |
| In which kingdom is an octopus found? | The animal kingdom |
| In which kingdom are all bacteria found? | The moneran kingdom |
| Mushrooms belong to which kingdom? | The fungi kingdom |
| What is the difference between vascular and nonvascular plants? | Vascular plants have tubes to transport water and nutrients. Nonvascular plants do not have a system of tubes. |
| Describe a vertebrate and give an example. | Vertebrates have backbones. Ex. Snake |
| Describe the habitat where mosses grow. | Moss grows in moist, shady areas. |
| What do we call chemicals that all living things need in order to survive? | Nutrients |
| What is a life process? | A life process is something a living thing must do in order to survive. |
| Animal cells are usually what shape? | Spherical |
| What is the major difference between vertebrates and invertebrates? | The difference between vertebrates and invertebrates is that vertebrates have backbones, and invertebrates do not. |
| Do amphibians have gills or lungs? | Amphibians begin life in water with gills and later grow lungs. |
| What is one way that fungi and plants differ? | Fungi cannot make their own food, and plants can make their own food. |
| What gas do plants use during photosynthesis? | Plants use carbon dioxide during photosynthesis. |
| Which structures do plant cells and animal cells both have? | All animal and plant cells have a nucleus, cytoplasm, vacuoles, and a cell membrane. |
| How many coverings do animal cells have and what are they called? | Animal cells have only one covering, and it is called the cell membrane. |
| What is considered the smallest building block of all living things? | The cell |
| How do fungi get their food? | Fungi absorb their food from the surface where they live. |
| What does the cell wall in a plant cell do? | It is the outermost layer of the plant cell that helps hold up the plant. |
| Plant cells are usually what shape? | Rectangular |
| What is the green pigment inside chloroplasts called? | Chlorophyll |
| List examples of vascular plants. | Some examples of vascular plants are celery, trees, roses, tomato plants, dandelions, ferns, and so on. |
| List examples of nonvascular plants. | Some examples of nonvascular plants are mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. |
| What is respiration? | Respiration is the process in which plants use oxygen to break down sugar into useful energy. |
