Biology
These three main categories of biological consumers specify what each group eats.
Herbivores, Carnivores, Omnivores
One of the major distinctions between plant and animals cells, this is found on the outside of only plant cells.
Cell Wall
The science that studies how characteristics are passed from parent to offspring.
Genetics
This Austrian scientist is called the father of modern genetics.
Gregor Mendel
Aristotle postulated that many forms of life originate using this method, after observing maggots appearing on meat.
Spontaneous Generation
These organisms break down dead remains of other organisms.
Decomposers
This cell with a membrane-bound nucleus and other distinct, membrane-bound organelles is the kind you can find inside your cheek.
Eukaryotic
The process of asexual reproduction in eukaryotic cells.
Mitosis
The two-letter set the represents the alleles an organism processes for a certain triat.
Genotype
These tiny creatures are too small to see with the naked eye.
Microorganisms
A series of steps in which organisms transfer energy by eating and being eaten.
Food Chain
The random motion of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
Diffusion
The beginning of sexual reproduction, this is the process by which a diploid cell forms gametes.
Meiosis
A genotype with two different alleles
Heterozygous
The smallest unit of an organism considered to be "alive".
Cells
Links all the food chains in an ecosystem together.
Food Web
These two features help a cell hold its shape if it does not have a cell wall. Name either one.
Cytoskeleton and Endoplasmic Reticulum
A stage during mitosis and meiosis, this is when the spindles pull the chromosomes toward the opposite centrioles on each side of the cell.
Anaphase
Individuals who have one copy of an allele for a recessive trait but do not exhibit the trait.
Carriers
Unlike Heterotrophs, these organisms are able to make their own food.
Autotrophs
A measure of the total amount of living tissue or organisms within a tropic level in an ecosystem.
Biomass
The name "cell" was coined by Robert Hook to describe the tiny honeycomb-like compartments he viewed under his newly improved microscope while viewing this.
Cork
