Study Guide Answers

2. Section 1: Ribbon of Life
Atoms
Molecules
Organelles
Cells
Tissues
Organs
Systems
Complex Multicellular Organism

3. Short Answer
Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and prokaryotic cells don’t.
Life begins at the stage of the cell because that is the first stage that can do all the characteristics of life.
The two stages are atoms and molecules.
The three stages are tissues, organs and systems.

11. Ribbon of Life Extra Information
Atoms- Extra Information- They are the fundamental material things are made of They have protons, neutrons, and electrons
Molecules- Example: two hydrogen atoms bond with an oxygen atom and form a molecule of water (H2O)
Organelles- Different organelles perform different jobs.

12. Cells- Extra Information- Two kinds of cells: Prokaryotic-bacteria and Eukaryotic- animal, plant, protist, fungus
Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus, prokaryotic don’t.
Tissues- Extra Information- Only in multicellular organisms (plant and animal). Not in bacteria, protists, or single-celled fungi.

13. Organs- Extra Information- Animals have many organs
Organs- Extra Information- Animals have many organs. Examples in humans- lungs, liver, kidney, heart.
Plants have 3 organs- roots, stems, and leaves
Systems- Extra Information-
Examples in humans- circulatory, respiratory, nervous, and digestive systems
Example in plants- vascular system
CMO- Extra Information- Plants and animals are highly organized, complex, free living life forms. They are organisms made of up to millions of cells organized into many kinds of tissues, organs, and systems.
