14.1(Organism Organization)
What is hierarchical?
Arranged in terms of rank
What is a cell?
The basic structural and functional unit of living organisms
What is Aerobic Cellular Respiration?
The process by which cells use oxygen and Sugar (glucose) to make ATP
What is a chloroplast?
A membrane-bound organelle in plants that is the site of photosynthesis.
What is respiration?
The movement of oxygen from the outside air to inside the body's cells and the movement of carbon dioxide in the opposite direction.
What is an organ?
A collection of similar tissues joined together into a structure that performs specialized functions
What is cell theory?
A theory that states the following: all life is made up of cells, cells are the fundamental unit of life, and all cells come from preexisting cells
What is Anaerobic Cellular Respiration?
A form of cellular respiration that occurs when little or no oxygen is present
What is homeostasis?
The tendency of an organism or cell to maintain a balanced state to maintain health and function.
What is cell theory about?
Cell theory is the idea that all living things are made of cells, and cells are the basic building blocks of life.
What is an organ system?
A collection of organs that work together to perform specialized functions
What is a function?
What something does
What is Carbon Dioxide?
A gas that is a natural component of the atmosphere produced by cells during cellular respiration and used by plants and other organisms for photosynthesis
What is mitochondrion?
The organelle that functions in energy production; the power factory of the cell.
What are cellular processes about?
Cellular processes are the activities that happen inside cells to keep them alive and working properly.
What is a tissue?
A mass of similar cells that perform a specialized function
What is a Organism?
A self contained living thing
What is a Cell Membrane?
A lipid that encloses the cytoplasm and controls what enters and exits the cell
What is the nucleus?
The tiny, very dense, positively charged region in the center of an atom that is made up of protons and neutrons.
What is the difference between Cell theory and Cellular Processes?
Cell Theory is about the concept of cells, while Cellular Processes are about what happens inside the cells.
What is Organism Organization about?
Organism organization is about how living things are arranged from smallest parts (like cells) to bigger parts (like tissues, organs, and the whole body) working together.
What is Structure?
The arrangement of parts that form a living thing
What is Cellular Respiration?
The process of obtaining energy from the breaking of chemical bonds in nutrients
What is oxygen?
A gas produced by plants during photosynthesis that animals use for respiration.
What is the difference between Cellular Processes and Organism Organization?
Cellular Processes focus on what happens inside cells, while Organism Organization focuses on how cells and parts are arranged and work together in a living organism.
