Points to remember! - Answer All living things have several things in common. The cell is the
basic functional unit of a living organism. Ecosystems are home to thousands of organisms, each
playing a necessary role. ABOUT 40% THE GED SCIENCE QUESTIONS WILL BE ABOUT LIFE
SCIENCES.
Cell - Answer the basic functional unit of an organism
DNA - Answer contains all the instructions needed to direct a cell's activities
Mitosis - Answer replication of a cell & its DNA
Life science (or biology) - Answer is the study of all living things, from plants to animals and
humans.
A biologist is someone who- - Answer studies organisms, or living things, of which there are
over 1.5 million different types. Biologist study their structures, their life cycles, and their
relationship to their environment.
Scientist have come up with a way to separate the living from the non-living: - Answer -Has a
life cycle (from birth to death)
-Has the ability to move or grow
-Has the need to find sources of energy as in feeding
-Has the ability to respond to stimuli, or something in the environment, that causes a change in
behavior
-Has the ability to reproduce
-Made up of cells
Life science covers - Answer every organism from the smallest, single-celled bacterium to the
largest animal on earth, the blue whale
, The Cell - Answer the cell is the basic functional unit of an organism, meaning that each cell
has the potential to fulfill all the functions of that organism. Cells also must arise from other
pre-existing cells
4 pts of a Cell - Answer 1. The first part of a cell is the membrane
2. The second part of a cell is the cytoplasm
3. The third part of a cell is the nucleus
4. The fourth part consists of the many organelles (ALL CELLS HAVE FOUR DISTINCT PARTS)
Cell mambrane - Answer cells are surrounded by a thin covering, which separates the cell
from its environment.This membrane is called the "cell membrane" (or plasma membrane) it
acts as a barrier or wall.
Cell membranes are semipermeable, - Answer meaning that they will allow some substances
to move both into and out of cells through the cell membrane. This allows the cell to take in the
required nutrients and expel any waste products.
Cytoplasm - Answer the inside of the cell, is the semi-liquid substance in which all of the
internal "organs" of the cell are dissolved. (this is where much of the biochemical activity of the
cell occurs)
The main component of cytoplasm is - Answer WATER
Nucleus - Answer Cells must create DNA, the genetic material which allows a cell to
replicate, & this DNA in a specific region in the cell called the nucleus.
The nucleus & its DNA hold inside - Answer All of the information needed to function &
create another cell.
Cells have "Organelles" - Answer Which are structures (of which the nucleus is one) within
the cytoplasm that preform certain specialized duties.
The Cell Wall of a plant - Answer All plants have cell walls. The cell wall gives a plant cell a
more inflexible structure, preventing the cells movement & giving it more support. They're
found outside the cell membrane. (plants are made up of cells, inside these cells are
chloroplast, chloroplast contains chlorophyll
