Unit 8 Cells and Function Review Guide
7.12C: Organization in Plants and Animals
How do cells, tissues, organs, organ systems and organisms perform together?
Ans: They build on each other and then use teamwork to create the systems
needed to make an organism.
How are cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, and organisms different?
Ans: They are different because they go from specific to complex, and their
functions change as they add to each other.

All organisms are made of cells.
A collection of similar cells are known as a tissues
When two or more types of tissues work together for the same purpose, they
create an organ.
An organ system is a combination of several organs that perform together for a
common function.
When examining the organization of the body, the cell is the most basic unit of
life.
7.12D: Plant and Animal Cell Organelles
What are organelles?
Ans: They are little organs in the cells, they provide structure and functions inside the cell.
How does the nucleus help with the function of cells?
Ans: It is the control center/brain of the cell, it controls all functions in the cell and contains the
DNA/Chromosomes of the cell.
How can the structure and function of the cell wall in plant cells be compared to
that of the cell membrane?
Ans: They both protect the cells
What is the primary function of the cell membrane, mitochondrion, and the
cytoplasm?
Ans: Cell membrane – allows selective things to pass through the cell
Mitochondrion – creates energy for the cell controls metabolism along with cellular
respiration.
Cytoplasm – jelly like substance that the organelles are sitting inside the cell
Chloroplasts capture and absorb light energy in what life process?
Ans: Photosynthesis
cell membrane
cell wall
chloroplasts
mitochondria
nucleus
organelles
cytoplasm
vacuole

Eukaryotic plant and animal cells contain organelles that perform specific tasks
for the cell’s metabolism and growth.
Both plant and animal cells contain cell membrane, __Nucleus________that
contains the chromosomes, Mitochrondria (creates energy), and vacuole
(structure and metabolism).
In addition to the organelles also found in animal cells, plant cells contain
__chloroplasts___ for photosynthesis, a large central vacuole (chemical
storage) and a _cell wall_______ (protection and structure).

Matthias Jakob Schleiden, Theodor Schwann, and Rudolf Virchow are three
scientists who studied cells. Their conclusions were combined to form the Cell
_Theory .
This theory concludes that a____cell________ is the basic unit of life and that
all organisms are composed of cells.
Some organisms are made of a single cell, such as bacteria.
Other organisms are made of many cells, such as humans.
Whether an organism is made of one cell or many cells, these cells must have
similar functions.
How do cells provide nutrients to the entire cell?
Ans: the mitachrondria breaks down the nutrients into energy and the
endoplasmic reticulum then transports the nutrients and energy to the other
organelles
How is metabolism created and how does it work in an organism?
Ans: metabolism is created by the burning of sugar into carbon dioxide inside
the mitochondria. The more that is burned the higher the metabolism, and the
lower the amount burned the slower metabolism is.
7.12EF: Functions of a Cell - continued
What is cellular respiration?
Ans: The burning of sugar in the cell to release carbon dioxide.
How do plant cells convert sunlight into oxygen and energy for consumption?
Ans: Photosynthesis inside the chloroplasts using the cholophyll

Because some organisms are unicellular, a single cell must perform the same
functions as a multicellular organism.
Both organisms and individual cells have a way to remove waste.
If this remains in a cell or in a body, it can become toxic and cause death.
A cell and an organism can both reproduced by forming another cell or an
offspring, respectively.
Both cells and organisms require a metabolic pathway to extract
energy or ATP.
A cell uses the mitochondria to produce its energy.
An organism uses its digestive system to break down food into small molecules
that can be used by the mitochondria.
Both cells and organisms have a way to transport molecules, the endoplasmic
reticulum and the circulatory system, respectively.
