The arrangement of specialized parts within a living this is sometimes referred to as
_________________ _____ _______________________. Cells of course, are the _______________ level of organization.
Tissues: Level Two
In any multicellular organism, ____________ rarely work alone. Cells that are ___________________ in structure and function are usually joined together to form _________________. Tissues are the _________________ level of organization.
Bone cells in your body form bone tissue. Blood cells in your body form blood tissue.
Organs: Level Three
Tissues are further organized into __________________, the ____________ level of
organization in living things. Organs are groups of different tissues that work together. Your heart, for example, is made up of _________________ tissue, __________________ tissue, and ________________ tissue. You are probably familiar with the names of many of the body organs. The brain, ____________________, kidneys, and ________________ are some examples.
Organ Systems: Level Four
Like cells and tissues, organs seldom work _______________. They “cooperate” with one another and form specific _________________ __________________. Organ systems are the ________________ level of organization in living things. An organ system is a ________________ of organs working together to perform a specific function for the organism. An example would be your digestive system. It is made up of several organs such as your esophagus, stomach, and intestines.
Organisms: Level Five
__________ are an organism. Dogs, trees and buttercups are also organisms. Even a unicellular (one celled) bacterium is an organism. An organism is an entire ________________ ________________ that carries out all the basic life functions. The organism is the _____________ level of organization.
____________ → tissues →organs → __________ _____________ → _________________ -- each level of organization interacts with every other level. The smooth functioning of a complex ___________________ is the result of all its various parts __________________ together.

Both in animal and in plant cells:
1. Mitochondrion is the _______________________ of the cell. It is the site of _______________________. It has a ____________________ membrane. The inner membrane is where most _______________ respiration occurs. The inner membranes is __________ with a very large surface area. These ruffles are called ___________. Mitochondria have their own ________ and manufacture some of their own _______________.
2. Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) is a series of double membranes that ________ back and forth between the cell membrane and the _______________. These membranes fill the ____________________ but you cannot see them because they are very ___________________. The rough E.R. has __________________________ attached to it. This gives it its texture. These ribosomes manufacture __________________________ for the cell. The ribosomes are the ______________________________ which manufacture proteins.
3. Smooth E.R. ____________ ribosomes. It acts as a __________________________ throughout the cytoplasm. It runs from the cell membrane to the nuclear ________________ and throughout the rest of the cell. It also produces ___________________ for the cell.
4. Cell Membrane performs a number of critical functions for the ________. It regulates all that _____________ and leaves the cell; in multicellular organisms it allows _________ recognition
5. Golgi Body is responsible for packaging _________________________ for the cell. Once the proteins are produced by the ______________ E.R., they pass into the _______________ like cisternae that are the main part of the Golgi body. These proteins are then squeezed off into the little _________________ which drift off into the cytoplasm.
6. Nucleus is called the ______________________ of the cell. It is a large __________ spot in eukaryotic cells. It _________________ all cell activity. The nuclear membrane has many ____________________. The thick ropy strands are the _____________________________. The large solid spot is the _____________________. The nucleolus is a __________________ chromatin. It manufactures __________________________. The chromatin is _______________ in its active form. It is a __________________________________ of DNA and histone proteins. It stores the information needed for the manufacture of ____________________.
7. *Cytoplasm is the _________ - ___________ material inside the cell membrane and outside the nucleus. Cytoplasm contains a large amount of _______________ and many chemicals and structures that carry out the life ______________________ in the cell. These structures that the cytoplasm contains are called _____________________. Unlike a gelatin dessert, however, cytoplasm constantly _________________ or streams.
8. *Vacuole: They are sort of like a ___________________ bubble in the cytoplasm. Vacuoles in animal cells are considerably ________________ than those in plant cells. In animal cells, vacuoles may store food that needs to be ____________________. Vacuoles can also store the indigestible __________________ until they can ________________ with the cell membrane and squirt the wastes outside. The cell sap vacuole in plants is much _________________ than animals. In addition to storing important substances, it also helps __________________ the plant. The ____________________of water filling the cell sap vacuole pushes out against the cell wall. This gives the wall enough strength to hold up fairly large green (non-woody) plants.
Animal cells only:
9. Lysosomes are called ______________________ sacks. They are produced by the ________________ body. They consist of a single membrane surrounding powerful _______________ enzymes. Those lumpy brown structures are digestive _____________.

10. Centrioles are only found in __________________ cells. They function in cell _____________________. They have _____ groups of _____ arrangement of the protein fibers.
Plant cells only:
11. *Cell wall: Since plants don't have ______________, they need a little something extra to ____________________ them. The cell wall is made of a tough fiber called ____________________________ which does this job. When you combine the stiff cell wall with the outward _____________________of a full cell sap vacuole, you get enough ___________________ to hold up large plants. Tree cell walls contain other tough materials such as __________________, which make them even stronger.
12. *Chloroplast: Located in plant cells are large irregular shaped green structures called chloroplasts. They are _________________ because they contain a green pigment called ________________________.
