Jeopardy

Define Biology.

Biology is the study of life.

What characteristic of living beings do plants and humans share, but

use opposite gases?

Respiration. Humans use oxygen and plants use

carbon dioxide.

Back to Menu

Cell Theory Has how many principles? Name them.

1. All living things are composed of cells.

2. Cells are the basic unit of structure and function in living things.

3. All cells are produced from other cells.

What two organelles make plant life much different

from human life? What do these organelles do.

1. Cell Wall provides protection and support for plants.

2. Chloroplasts absorb light for food production in photosynthesis.

Final Jeopardy

Our bodily systems are made up of organs. What are cell

systems made of?

Organelles.

Back to Menu

Describe the functions of the Vacuole, Nucleus, and

Mitochondria.

Vacuole - Storage space.Nucleus - Directs cell activity (“brain”).Mitochondria - Produces the cell’s energy.

How do cells use Proteins and Carbohydrates?

Proteins are used to create the cell wall and other organelles.

Carbohydrates are the primary source of energy.

Back to Menu

Describe how Diffusion works.

Diffusion is when molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.

Back to Menu

What does the ER do, as well as the 2 other organelles

associated with it?

• The Endoplasmic Reticulum is the passageway that materials travel along.

• Ribosomes on the ER are protein factories, to build & repair cells.

• Golgi Bodies package and ship materials to other parts of the cell.

Final Jeopardy

All living organisms follow the first principle of Cell Theory,

which is…

The 1st principle of Cell Theory is that all living things are made of cell.

Back to Menu

What is the significance of this picture and who is

it associated with?

Back to Menu

Picture of cork under a microscope. Associated with Robert Hooke, who gave the

cell its name.

Describe magnification and resolution.

Magnification makes things look bigger than they really are.

Resolution provides a clearer, more detailed image.

Back to Menu

What type of molecular transport is like riding a bicycle? Explain.

Active Transport is movement of materials by using energy. This is like riding your bike uphill as compared to downhill – uphill requires you to pedal, while downhill does not.

Back to Menu

Describe why these two blood cells are so different in appearance

(Left: healthy, Right: shrunken).The answer involves a type of

molecular transport.

Osmosis, diffusion of water through permeable membrane, leaves the blood cell to break up high amounts of salt outside.

Final Jeopardy

Beans, Whole grains, and Vegetables are all a good

source of…

A) Proteins

B) Carbohydrates

C) Lipids

Back to Menu

Beans, Whole grains, and Vegetables are all a good

source of…

A) Proteins

B) Carbohydrates

C) Lipids

What is the function of an Enzyme?

Back to Menu

An Enzyme is a protein that speeds up chemical reactions.

Why are Proteins important? Give 3 good sources of protein.

Proteins are essential for cell growth and repair. Three sources of proteins are steak, nuts, and eggs.

Back to Menu

What type of protein do these pictures relate to? Explain.

Amino Acids. They can be combined like letters in the alphabet, so one change can make a big difference – like Rice to Mice!

Back to Menu

What organic compound keeps this bear alive through hibernation? Give

an example of this compound and why it is NOT good for humans to eat.

Back to Menu

Final Jeopardy

This bear has stored high energy Lipids. Cholesterol is a type of lipid that is

naturally produced by the liver, so eating cholesterol is excessive.
