Ecosystems
any single living thing, such as an animal, plant, fungus, or bacterium.
Organism
What makes something living?
Maintain Homeostasis, Reproduction, Sensitivity, Nutrition, Organization, Growth
Controls all cell activities and protein production. Contains the DNA and nucleolus.
Nucleus
waxing
Getting bigger
threadlike parts of a cell; made up of DNA
Chromosome
a group of individuals that breed and reproduce fertile offspring in nature.
Species
the ability to produce offspring to keep the
species in existence
Reproduction
Converts glucose into ATP (energy a cell can use) in the process of cellular respiration.
Mitochondria
Getting smaller
waning
the passing of characteristics from parents to offspring
Heredity
A group of individuals belonging to the same species that live in the same region at the same time.
Population
Plants transform energy from the sun into glucose.
Cells use carbon dioxide to make glucose and the cells release oxygen
Photosynthesis
Rigid external layer of a plant cell (cellulose), bacteria (glycoproteins), or fungi (chitin) that is outside the cell membrane.
Cell Wall
The blocking of sunlight to Earth that occurs when the moon is directly between the sun and Earth.
solar eclipse
A child or animal in relation to its parent or parents.
Offspring
a group of different kinds of species, living in the same area, usually interacting with each other.
Community
releases carbon dioxide and water which is used by plants to make glucose
Cellular Respiration
Synthesizes ribosomes. Found in the nucleus.
Nucleolus
moon phase when the entire side facing Earth is illuminated.
full moon
A substance that carries genetic information in the cells of plants and animals.
DNA
A system that includes all living organisms in an area, as well as their non-living environment, functioning together as a unit.
Ecosystem
The study of living organisms
Biology
Passageways where compounds are manufactured, processed and transported.
Endoplasmic Reticulum
The appearance of the illuminated portion of the moon as seen by an observer on earth
moon phase
Physical characteristics that are seen in a living thing.
