Vocabulary
A living thing made up of one or more cells that can perform all the processes needed for life
What is an organism?
This system delivers nutrients and oxygen to all cells in the body It carries carbon dioxide and other waste products away from cells.
What is the circulatory system?
Plants can be divided into these two major groups.
What are vascular and nonvascular?
This type of tissue functions as a messaging system within the body.
What is nervous tissue?
This is what controls homeostasis; it can be positive or negative.
What is feedback?
A group of similar cells that are organized to perform a specific function
What is a tissue?
This system takes in oxygen and releases carbon dioxide as we breathe.
What is the respiratory system?
Most plants on earth fit into this major group.
What is vascular?
This type of tissue protects and forms boundaries, and is found in organs such as skin.
What is epithelial tissue?
This type of feedback occurs when the body senses a change in its internal environment and activates processes that will slow or prevent the change.
What is negative feedback?
Formed by different types of tissues that function together
What is an organ?
This system moves bones, causes the heart to bear, and moves food through the digestive system.
What is the muscular system?
Plants also need this gas to convert the food to energy that is used by all parts of the plant?
What is oxygen?
This type of tissue includes bones and blood; holds parts of the body together and provides support.
What is connective tissue?
This type of feedback occurs when the body activates processes that increase or reinforce the change.
What is positive feedback?
A group of organs that work together to perform body functions
What is an organ system?
This system supports the body, protects organs, allows movement, and makes blood cells.
What is the skeletal system?
This process uses energy from sunlight to convert water molecules and carbon dioxide into sugars and oxygen.
What is photosynthesis?
This type of tissue produces movement.
What is muscle tissue?
An example of this type of feedback is when a dog pants to cool down.
Organs that absorb water and dissolve nutrients from soil; they anchor the plant to the ground.
What are roots?
This system controls body movement and controls communication between the brain and the environment.
This is the main site of photosynthesis.
What is the leaf?
The process of getting rid of carbon dioxide uses these two systems.
What are the circulatory and excretory systems?
This type of specialized cell carries information to the brain from sensory receptors.
What are neurons?
Organs that transport nutrients to all parts of the plant body and provide support to the plant; the roots connect to this.
What are stems?
This system breaks down food into essential nutrients and expels solid waste from the body.
What is the digestive system?
This is what would happen if a plant didn't regulate its water, and ended up not having enough.
What is wilt?
The absorption and transport of nutrients uses these two systems.
What is the digestive and circulatory system?
This type of receptor detects signals such as odors and tastes.
What are chemical receptors?
Tiny openings in the leaf surface, where water, carbon dioxide, and oxygen enter and exit a plants.
What are stomata?
This system removes liquid wastes from the body.
This is what happens if a plant does not regulate its water, and ends up having too much.
What is drown?
The movement of food throughout the body uses what two systems?
The type of receptors detect radiations signals such as light.
What are electromagnetic receptors?
The process by which the inside of the body maintains stable conditions when internal and external environments change.
What is homeostasis?
Body functions slow down as you sleep, but they do not stop. Your body still has to break down food and deliver those nutrients through the body with these systems.
What are the digestive and circulatory systems?
These are plant outputs.
These are organs, aside from things we are more familiar with like ears and eyes, that animals use to collect information.
What is hair, skin, and antennae?
This type of receptor detects pressure, movement, and tension.
What are mechanical receptors?
Specialized cells in an animal's nervous system that help an animal gather information about its environment.
What are sensory receptors?
These two systems allow a band student to breathe and read music.
What are the respiratory and nervous systems?
These are the components needed for a plant to make and transport its own food.
What is sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide?
These are the four basic tissue types that animals have.
What is nervous, epithelial, connective, and muscular?
These are organs in which sensory receptors are especially plentiful. (Name at least 3)
What are ears, nose, eyes, skin, and mouth?
