Cell Quiz

Match the Cell Organelle with the function:

____1. Jelly-like material found in the cell. Contains organelles & where most cell processes take place.

____2. Acts as cell’s clean up crew by digesting worn out organelles & molecules.

____3. Stores water, salt, & other molecules. Oversized in plants to enable them to support flowers & leaves.

____4. Acts like transportation system by modifying & exporting materials. Has 2 forms, smooth & rough. (Highway)

____5. Modifies, sorts, and packages cellular materials. (Mailman)

Cell Organization

Multicellular Organisms• Organisms made up of many cells.

These cells work together so the organism can feed, digest, excrete wastes, and reproduce.

Cell Specialization• Multicellular organisms benefit

from cell specialization. Cells that specialize in certain functions come in a variety of shape and sizes, each designed to carry out a special function.

Cell Organization• The cell is the smallest functional unit in

the body. In order for our bodies to carry out larger more specific functions groups of cells work together.

• It is organized as follows:

Cells Tissues Organs Organ Systems

Tissues• Tissues are a group of cells that are similar in

shape and function.

• There are 4 major kinds of cells:– Epithelial cells– Nerve cells– Connective Cells– Muscle Cells

• Each cell is responsible for a specific function

Organs• Tissues are organized into larger

structures called organs.

• Many organs are composed of many different types of tissues.

• Each organ has at east one function.

Organ Systems• Organ systems are groups of organs that

have related functions.

• For example: The Circulatory system includes the heart; arteries, capillaries, and veins that all carry blood and waste from the heart to the tissues and back. Nerve tissue, epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscle tissue and blood cells are all found in the circulatory system.

Major Organ Systems• There are 8 major organ systems in the

body:– Circulatory System– Nervous System – Respiratory System– Digestive System– Muscle System– Skeletal System– Excretory System– Endocrine System

Circulatory System• Major Organs:

– Heart, arteries, capillaries, veins

• Major Tissues:– Epithelial, nerve, connective, muscle and

blood

• Functions: – Transportation of nutrients, dissolved

gasses and wastes to and from body cells.

Nervous System• Major Organs:

– Brain, spinal cord, eyes, ears, nerves to and from body parts.

• Major Tissues:– Nerve, connective, epithelial

• Functions: – Respond to environment ad control of body

activities.

Excretory System• Major Organs:

– Kidneys, bladder, ureters, urethra, liver.

• Major Tissues:– Epithelial, Nerve, connective, muscle

• Functions: – Removal of wastes.

Digestive System• Major Organs:

– Esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver.

• Major Tissues:– Epithelial, Nerve, connective, muscle

• Functions: – Chemical and physical breakdown of food into

molecules small enough to pass into cells.

Respiratory System• Major Organs:

– Lungs, windpipe, blood vessels.

• Major Tissues:– Epithelial, Nerve, connective, muscle

• Functions: – Gas Exchange.
