200

What is the purpose of a dichotomous key?

To identify organisms

200

What is the difference between dead and nonliving?

Dead was once alive; nonliving never was

300

Give one example of homeostasis in the body

Temperature regulation, sweating, etc

300

All Living Things Have:

  • Cells
  • Energy use (metabolism)
  • Growth
  • Reproduction
  • Response to environment
  • Homeostasis
400

What happens if homeostasis is not maintained?

Cells can become damaged or die

400

What does the cell membrane do?

Controls what enters and leaves the cell


400

What is the smallest classification level?

Species

400

What kingdom are humans in?

Animalia

400

What do you follow in a key to get the answer?

Traits or characteristics

400

Cells must:

  • Take in nutrients
  • Make energy
  • Remove waste
  • Grow and reproduce
500

How does removing waste help homeostasis?

Prevents buildup of harmful substances

500

What is metabolism?

All chemical processes needed for life

500

What two things are mainly used to classify organisms?

Traits and DNA

500

Are plants and animals in the same domain?

Yes

500

Why are dichotomous keys useful?

They help identify unknown organisms

Core Processes:

  • Photosynthesis → makes food (plants)
  • Cellular respiration → makes energy
  • Cell division → makes new cells
  • Cell membrane → controls what enters/leaves
