six life processes1. reproducing 2. get energy 3. use energy 4. growing 5. get rid of waste 6. respond to change
virustiny particle
viruscan reproduce only inside the cells of living things
viruscause of the flu or a cold
bacteriatiny one celled organism
bacteriacan be harmful or helpful
bacteriagoes thru all 6 life processes
bacteriabigger than virus
cellsmallest unit of life
moneranonce celled, no separate nucleus, ex. bacteria
protistmost one celled , have nucleus ex. algae, amoeba
fungusmostly many celled, cannot move, absorb nutrients from other organisms ex. yeast, mold, mushroom
plantmany celled, cannot move, get energy from the sun to make sugar ex. trees, flowers, ferns
animalmany celled, most can move, get energy by consuming other organisms ex. invertebrates, fish, bird, mammals
5how many kingdoms are there?
moneran, protist, fungus, plant & animalWhat are the 5 kingdoms?
nucleuscontrols the cell's actvities
cell membraneoutside of the cell that controls what enters and leaves it
cytoplasmjellylike material that fills most of a cell
nucleus, cell membrane, cytoplasmWhat are ANIMALS cell parts?
cell membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm, cell wall, chloroplastWhat are PLANT cell parts?
cell wallstiff outer layer that helps keep plant cells firm
chloroplastgreen cell part that traps & uses light energy
Red Blood Cell/RBC'scarry oxygen to all other cells in your body
kingdomthe largest group into which an organism is classified
