Cells
This organelle contains DNA and controls the cell.
What is the nucleus?
These tiny organisms can cause disease and are not made of cells.
What are viruses?
Organisms that make their own food.
What are producers?
This molecule contains the instructions for building proteins.
What is DNA?
Animals without a backbone.
What is an invertebrate?
This organelle makes proteins.
What are ribosomes?
These single-celled organisms can reproduce independently and may cause infections.
What are bacteria?
Only about this percent of energy transfers to the next trophic level.
What is 10%?
Different versions of a gene are called this.
What are alleles?
This type of symmetry has only one plane of division.
What is bilateral?

What is a vector?
This process moves carbon from the atmosphere into plants.
What is photosynthesis?
A change in DNA sequence.
What is a mutation?
When two organisms rely on each other.
What is interdependence?
This process converts glucose into usable energy inside the mitochondria.
What is cellular respiration?
This is how vaccines help your body fight pathogens.
What is stimulating an immune response?
This group of organisms recycles nutrients back into the soil.
