Plant Cells
What is the main organelle in plant cells where photosynthesis takes place?
Chloroplast
What is the powerhouse of the cell, responsible for producing energy?
Mitochondria
Define the term "adaptation" in the context of living organisms.
a change or the process of change by which an organism or species becomes better suited to its environment.
What are the two main inputs needed for photosynthesis to occur?
Water and CO2
What is the difference between a food chain and a food web?
A food chain outlines who eats whom. A food web is all of the food chains in an ecosystem.
Name the green pigment found in plant cells that is crucial for photosynthesis.
Chlorphyll
What is the function of the mitochondria in animal cells?
produce the energy necessary for the cell's survival and functioning
Give an example of a physical adaptation in animals and explain how it helps them survive.
Example...
Describe the role of sunlight in the process of photosynthesis.
The energy from light causes a chemical reaction
Give an example of a producer in a food chain.
Grass etc....
What is the function of the cell wall in plant cells?
To protect
Name the organelle in animal cells that is responsible for what comes in and out of the cell.
Cell Membrane
How do adaptations help organisms better suit their environments?
the way they look, the way they behave, how they are built, or their way of life makes them suited to survive and reproduce in their habitats.
Explain how plants use carbon dioxide during photosynthesis. *****BOUNUS****
plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) from the air and soil.water is oxidized, meaning it loses electrons, while the carbon dioxide is reduced, meaning it gains electrons. This transforms the water into oxygen and the carbon dioxide into glucose.
Define the term "trophic level" in the context of food chains.
the specific level or position that an organism occupies in the food chain or food web.
Which organelle in plant cells is responsible for storing water, nutrients, and waste?
Vacuole
Explain the role of Nucleus in animal cells.
Brain of the cell.
Describe the difference between structural and behavioral adaptations.
Structural adaptations are physical features of an organism like the bill on a bird or the fur on a bear. Other adaptations are behavioral. Behavioral adaptations are the things organisms do to survive.
What is the primary output of photosynthesis?
O2, Sugar
Explain what would happen to a food chain if one of the primary consumers were to disappear.
Example....
Explain the process of photosynthesis in plant cells.
sunlight ,CO2 ,water ---->O2 sugar
How do animal cells differ from plant cells in terms of structure and function?
-Shape, round, square
-organelles. cell wall, vacuoles, chloroplast
Explain how the process of natural selection leads to adaptations in populations over time.
Organisms that are more adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and pass on the genes that aided their success
How do plants obtain water for photosynthesis?
Their roots
Describe the role of decomposers in a food web and why they are important for ecosystem balance.
Decomposers feed on dead things: help recycle nutrients back into the system
