Section summary
Read the following section summary.
• The urinary system removes liquid waste as urine. The filtering structures in the kidney are called nephrons.

• Disorders of the urinary system include infections, kidney stones, andkidney disease.

Eukaryotic cells six grade

section summary

Read the following section summary.
• Eukaryotic cells have organelles that perform functions that help cells remain alive.
• All cells have a cell membrane. Some cells have a cell wall. Some cells have a cytoskeleton.
• The nucleus of a eukaryotic cell contains the cell’s genetic material, DNA.
• Ribosomes are the organelles that make proteins. Ribosomes are not covered by a membrane.
• The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the Golgi complex make and process proteins before the proteins are transported to other parts of the cell or out of the cell.
• Mitochondria and chloroplasts are organelles that provide chemical energy for the cell.
• Lysosomes are organelles responsible for digestion within a cell. In plant cells, organelles called vacuoles store cell materials and sometimes act like large lysosomes.

Annie Apple’s Amazing Adventure
Complete this worksheet after you finish reading the section “The Urinary System.”

Being an apple, Annie is not very good with words. In her story below, she used many terms incorrectly. The incorrect terms have been underlined and numbered. Help Annie by writing the correct term in the corresponding blank provided at the bottom of the page.

Hi, my name is Annie Apple, and I’m, well, an apple! I’ve just been on the strangest adventure, and I thought you’d like to hear about it.
First, this girl took a huge bite out of me and used her teeth to chew me. They call that (1) chemical digestion. While this was happening I got soaked by (2) bile, which breaks down my carbohydrates into simple sugars. Boy, was that -uncomfortable! Then I was swallowed. I went down a long tube called the (3) small intestine, and I ended up in the (4) liver. There, I was bombarded by acid and enzymes, which broke me down further until I was a soupy mixture called (5) amino acids. Next I was released into the (6) large intestine. There I was met by pancreatic juice and (7) saliva. Then I was broken down enough to be partially absorbed into the bloodstream.
After that, I passed into the (8) esophagus, where I had water absorbed from me. At last, what was left of me passed through an opening called the (9) villi. But that’s not the end! The part of me that passed into the bloodstream provided energy to lots of cells before it ended up at the (10) stomach, where it was filtered through tiny (11) bladders and then went out the (12) urethra to be stored in the (13) nephron.
The final leg of my journey was through the (14) ureter to the outside world. Isn’t that an unbelievable adventure?
