5.5
Where do new cells come from? New cells come from existing
cells.
5.5
How small are cells?
5.5
Cells are too small to be seen
with the eye alone.
5.5
How can we see cells?
5.5
We can see many parts of a cell
by using a microscope.
5.5
What do cells do?
5.5
Cells carry out all life
processes.
5.5
How can organisms be grouped
together?
5.5
Organisms that share similar
characteristics can be
organized into groups in order
to help understand similarities
and differences.
5.5
How many kingdoms can living
things be categorized into?
5.5
Living things can be categorized
into 5 kingdoms.
5.5
What are the 5 kingdoms of all
living things?
5.5
The 5 kingdoms of all living
things are monerans, protists,
fungi, plants, and animals.
5.5
What are the characteristics
of monerans?
5.5
Monerans are one celled
organisms that do not have a
definite nucleus.
Example: Bacteria
5.5
What are the characteristics
of protists?
5.5
Protists are one celled
organisms that have a visible
nucleus.
Example: Paramecium
5.5
What are the characteristics
of fungi?
5.5
Fungi are multi celled and have
to live on a host organism to
survive.
Example: mold, mildew
5.5
What are the characteristics
of plants?
5.5
Plants produce their own food.
Their cells contain chloroplast
and they have cell walls.
Example: flowers, trees
5.5
What are the characteristics
of animals?
5.5
Animals depend on other plants
and animals for their food.
5.5
5.5
What are the two categories of Plants can be categorized as
plants?
vascular and nonvascular.
5.5
What does vascular mean?
5.5
5.5
Vascular means that the plants
have special tissues to
transport food and water
throughout the plant.
Example: trees, flowering
plants
What does nonvascular mean?
5.5
Nonvascular means that the
plants do not have tissues to
transport food and water.
Example: moss
5.5
Which category do most plants
belong in?
5.5
Most plants belong in the
vascular category.
5.5
5.5
What are the two categories of Animals can be categorized in
animals?
to vertebrates and
invertebrates.
5.5
What are vertebrates?
5.5
Vertebrates are animals that
have a backbone.
Example: fish, humans, bird
5.5
What are invertebrates?
5.5
What are the parts of a plant
cell?
5.5
Invertebrates are animals with
out backbones.
Example: snail, clam, insect
5.5
The parts of a plant cell
include; nucleus, cell wall,
vacuole, membrane, cytoplasm,
and chloroplast.
