Ecosystems
All of the same species in an ecosystem (example: all of the frogs near a pond ecosystem)
What is a population?
The gel-like substance inside the cell membrane is called this.
What is the cytoplasm?
This is the biome we live in. It has rich soil over clay, many trees that lose their leaves every winter, and animals such as coyotes, deer, foxes, birds, etc.
What is a deciduous forest biome?
This phase of mitosis is when the paired chromosomes start to split apart.
What is anaphase?
All of the populations in an ecosystem make up this. (Example: all of the zebras, giraffes, lions, elephants, etc. around an African watering hole)
What is a community?
All of the living things in an ecosystem are called this. (example: plants, animals, bacteria, fungus, etc)
What are biotic factors?
A sac-like storage space in a cell is called this. This holds mostly water and is larger in a plant cell than in an animal cell.
What is a vacuole?
This biome is very hot and dry, but has very cool nights. Not many plant or animals species can live here due to the lack of rain that falls.
What is a desert biome?
This type of cell division occurs when a nucleus divides and results in two identical cells.
What is mitosis?
What is the energy called that is released during respiration? (Hint: 3 letters)
What is ATP?
All of the living and nonliving things living in an area and how they interact with each other makes up this.
What is an ecosystem?
The "blueprints" or DNA of the cell are found on these. (be more specific than nucleus)
What are chromosomes?
This biome has the greatest amount of diversity of plants and animals. This is mainly due to having enough rain all year round, which can support a lot of different plants, which in turn can support many different animals.
What is a tropical rain forest biome?
This type of cell division occurs when a nucleus divides and results in half as many chromosomes as the other cells (23 chromosomes).
What is meiosis?
The process in which organisms produce more of their own kind is called this.
What is reproduction?
All the nonliving things in an ecosystem are called this. (examples: sun, soil, water, temperature, etc.)
What are abiotic factors?
Cellular respiration without oxygen is called this. (Hint: It's the back-up system for when you aren't able to get enough oxygen. Think about running to catch a bus!)
What is fermentation?
The pattern of precipitation and temperature throughout a year is called this.
What is climate?
When cells divide faster and more often than normal cells and begin to spread throughout the body.
What is cancer?
The process by which molecules of a substance move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration is called this. (I'm not talking about water)
What is diffusion?
The role each species plays in a food web is called this.
What is a niche?
One of the main differences between most cells and a bacteria cell is that bacteria are missing this structure.
What is a clearly defined nucleus?
(Remember, bacteria do have chromosomes, they are just floating throughout the cell instead of staying in a nucleus)
Why does one side of a mountain have a different climate than the other side?
What is because clouds hit one side of the mountain and must release precipitation on that side, then the other side becomes very dry?
Name all 6 of the phases in order that occur in a body cell during mitosis.
What is interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis?
All of the structures inside a cell are called this.
What are organelles?
