Cellular Organization
This level of organization is composed of cells of similar structure and function
Tissue
This is the process by which organisms maintain a stable internal environment
Homeostasis
This is the process by which plants convert sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water into oxygen and glucose
Photosynthesis
This is the process by which energy is transferred from food molecules to ATP
Cellular Respiration
This is the outermost layer of a cell that controls what enters and exits the cell.
cell membrane
This is the basic unit of Life
The cell
This is the process by which organisms respond to changes in their environment
Stimulus response
These are the two main products of photosynthesis
Glucose and Oxygen
This is the process by which energy from the sun is converted into chemical energy by plants
Photosynthesis
This is the control center of a cell that contains the genetic material.
Nucleus
This is the process by which cells become specialized in stucture and function
differentiation
This is the purpose of cell division in multicellular organisms
Growth and repair
This is the pigment in plants that captures sunlight for photosynthesis
chlorophyll
This is the process by which decomposers break down dead organisms and return nutrients to the soil
Decomposition
This is the jelly-like substance that fills the cell and holds the organelles
Cytoplasm
These are the two main types of cells in multicellular organisms
Somatic cells and Gametic Cells
This is the step in Mitosis where chrosomes are aligned in the center of the cell
Metaphase
This is the organelle where photosynthesis takes place
Chloroplast
How much energy is transferred in each trophic level?
10 percent
This organelle is responsible for protein synthesis
Ribosomes
This is the process by which cells divide to produce new identical cells
Mitosis
This is the part of cellular division the cell spends the most of its time in
Interphase
This is the place in the chlorophyll where light independent reaction takes place
Stroma
What are the three steps of cellular respiration?
1. Glycolysis
2. Citric Acid Cycle or Kreb Cycle
3. Electron Transport Chain (ETC)
This organelle is responsible for breaking down waste materials in the cell
lysosome
