Vocabulary:
1. Eukaryotic cells contain a nucleus and membrane-bound _Organelles____ that have a specific function to
help the cell carry out life.
2. Any unicellular or multicellular organism that has a nucleus and other organelles within its cell or cells is
called a ___Eukaryote_________.
3. __Consumer____ is an organism that eats producers or other organisms for energy.
4. A phospholipids bilayer that covers a cell’s surface and regulates what enters and exits the cell is called the
__Cell Membrane_____.
5. ___Chloroplast__ is an organelle found in plant and protist cells where photosynthesis occurs.
6. _Vacuole_____ is a large membrane-covered structure found in plant cells and some protists that serves as
a storage place for food, water, and wastes.
7. __Cell Wall___ is a structure that surrounds the cell membrane of some cells and provides strength and
support to the cell membrane.
8. Any organism that obtains its energy by breaking down the remains of dead organisms and absorb their
nutrients is called a ___Decomposer_.
9. The cell organelle that modifies, packages, and transports materials out of the cell is the _Golgi Body___.
10. _Producer____- organisms that can make their own food.
11. __Protist_______ is a eukaryote that is not an animal, fungus, or plant.
12. ___Symbiosis_______ is a close long term relationship between two or more organisms.
13. ___Lysosomes_____ is an organelle found in animal cells that digests food particles, wastes, and foreign
invaders.
14. ___Ribosomes____ - Small organelle in cells that make proteins.
15. __Nucleus__ is the organelle found in eukaryotic cells; contains the cell’s DNA and serves as the control
center of the cell.
16. Cell organelle that breaks down sugars to supply the cell with energy in the form of ATP. _Mitochondria_____
17. ___Parasitism____ is a symbiotic relationship in which one organism benefits while the other is harmed.
18. __Mutualism___is a symbiotic relationship in which both organisms benefit.
The Kingdom Protista- Notes:
19. Most protist are (Unicellular or Multicellular).
20. The three types of protist classified by the way they obtain their food are _Plant-Like, Fungus-like_______,
and ___Animal-Like_____________________.
21. Animal-like protist are called __Protozoans_______ and get their food by: __Consuming other organisms_
22. Plant-like protist are called __Algae____ and get their food by: _____Photosynthesis_____________
23. Fungus-like protist are __Slime-molds and Water-molds_, meaning they obtain their energy by: __breaking
down the remains of dead organisms_________
24. What is an algal bloom?
_A huge expanse of agal growth that depleats the water of nutrients______________________________
25. Name 3 important roles algae play in the environment?
1__Produce Oxygen______ 2__Home for marine organisms_ 3_Food for marine organisms_
Cellular Energy Notes Part 1 and 2
34.Where in the cell does the process of photosynthesis take place? __Chloroplast__
35. What is needed for photosynthesis to take place? _CO2, Water, Sunlight__
36. What are the products of photosynthesis? ______Glucose and Oxygen__________
37. The ____Chlorophyl_ pigments found in the chloroplast absorbs sunlight and makes plants green in the
spring.
The __Carotenoids_ pigments absorb sunlight in the fall seasons and give leaves an orange and red color.
38. Where in the cell does cellular respiration take place? _______Mitochondria________
39. What are the products of cellular respiration? _CO2, Water, and ATP___
