Living Things
All living things need what to survive?
Energy
What are the three raw materials/reactants of photosynthesis?
Light energy, Carbon Dioxide, and water
What type of organism creates their own food and energy?
Autotroph
What does a Gorilla do when they are happy?
Burp
The first phase of mitosis is
Prophase
Where does energy in plants and certain other organisms, like algae and some bacteria, obtain energy?
The sun
What are the two products of photosynthesis?
Glucose and Oxygen
What type of organism cannot get their energy from the sun?
Heterotroph
What is a rainbow on Venus called?

This organelle is found in both plant and animal cells. It is responsible for breaking down large food particles into smaller ones. It also breaks down old cell parts and reales the materials so they can be used again. Think of it as the cells recycling center.
Lysosome
What does Greek word syntithenai mean?
Putting together
What creates the green color and pigment for the chemical compounds that absorb light in plants, algae, and some bacteria?
Chlorophyll
What types of organisms perform photosynthesis?
Plants and some algae and bacteria
Where is a shrimp's heart?

All living things are made of cells. Cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things. All new cells are produced from existing cells. What do we call this accepted explanation of the relationship between cells and living things?
Cell theory
What do the seeds of a plant do?
What is the glucose created during photosynthesis used for in the plant?
As food, to carry out the plant's functions (like growing and making seeds), made into other compounds (like the cellulose for cell walls), and stored in the cells for later.
A farmer experiences a drought and his crop suffers. What raw material/reactant of photosynthesis would be most impacted by this scenario?
Water (H2O)
What is the only state only has a one syllable name?
Maine
The basic unit and structure and function in living things.
Cells
