Characteristics of Life
Made of cells
What is the basic building block of living things?
Autotrophs use carbon dioxide to produce glucose.
What is Absorption/Photosynthesis?
a group of organisms of the same ________ living in the same
What is population?
Gets food/energy from other organisms.
What is heterotroph/consumer?
Matter cannot be created or destroyed, only changes form
What is law of conservation of matter?
Your answer. Your proof . Your scientific explanation.
What is claim-evidence-reasoning?
Reproduction
What is making more of the same kind of organism?
Process that releases carbon dioxide as a waste product while breaking down glucose for energy.
What is Respiration?
When one (1) species is removed affecting all other levels. (Often a keystone species.)
What is trophic cascade?
A living thing.
What is an organism?
What is the law of conservation energy?
An animal that eats producers.
What is primary consumer?
Respond to their environment
What is the way an organism reacts to stimulus?
Herbivores consume carbon dioxide by eating plants. That carbon is passed up the food chain when the herbivore is eaten by a predator.
What is consumption?
A very important specie. An animal or plant that makes an ecosystem fall apart and become unhealthy if taken away.
What is keystone species?
Makes its own food (usually through sunlight)
What is autotroph/producer?
An organism (consumer) that ONLY eats animals/meat.
What is a carnivore?
Animals that eat primary consumers.
What is secondary consumer?
Organisms get bigger in size and also go through change in their lifetime.
What is grow and develop?
A dead animal (or plant) is broken down and the carbon is returned back into the soil.
What is Decomposition?
A plant or animal that is not-native to a specific locatio. It spreads quickly.
What is invasive species?
Two parents, the offspring is a mix of both parents. EX: animals, people.
What is sexual reproduction?
Produce glucose (C6H12O6) with energy from the sun. Plants only?autotrophs.
What is photosynthesis?
Top predators. (lions, eagles, sharks, etc.)
What is tertiary consumer?
The power it gives a living thing in order to do work. Gets energy by other plants to make food.
What is use energy and materials?
Fossil fuels are burned to heat homes, drive cars, etc.
What is Combustion?
What is carrying capacity?
One parent, the offspring is identical to the parent. EX: amoebas, starfish, mold
What is asexual reproduction?
Converts glucose (C6H12O6) into ATP (energy) using oxygen.
What is respiration?
They are opposites. Inputs for photosynthesis = outputs for cellular respiration.
What is the relationship between cellular respiration and photosynthesi?
Instructions in our body to help us grow and function.
What is has DNA/generic code?
Part of Earth where life exists including land, water, and air.
What is biosphere?
Things that limit how big/large a population can grow.Ex: food, water, disease, predators,etc.
What is limiting factors?
What is decomposed?
In only plants. In process of photosynthesis
What are chloroplasts?
Earth’s way of recycling carbon through:
atmosphere → living things → soil → oceans → rocks → back to atmosphere
What is the carbon cycle?
Control internal self and keep stable.
What is maintain homeostasis?
A community of living things interacting with each other and their environment.
What is ecosystem?
An action or behavior that a species takes in order to survive better.
What is behavioral adaptation?
An organism (consumer) that only eats PLANTS.
In both plants and animals. In the process of cellular respiration.
What is the mitochondria?
Released energy.
What is ADP?
Over many generations , living things change.
What is evolution?
A visual representation of feeding relationships and energy flow in an ecosystem.
What is the food chain?
J-shaped curve. Growth without limits. Population will grow super fast.
What is exponential population growth?
What is an omnivore?
Things that go in and things that go out.
What are reactants and products?
Energy cells use to survive.
What is the role of ATP?
