Maintaining a stable internal environment is which characteristic of life? (EX: blood sugar, body temp)
Homeostasis
This protein in the membrane creates an opening and allows water and large ions to enter and exit the cell.
Channel Protein
In an ecosystem, energy FLOWS while matter _________
Cycles
What are the reactants for cellular respiration?
O2 and Glucose (C6H12O6)
When populations grow continuously and quickly before reaching carrying capacity, or may have gone passed carrying capacity.
Exponential Growth (J-curve)
All living things are made up of _________
cells
This protein in the cell membrane identifies the cell with a carbohydrate tag so it is not attacked by white blood cells.
Marker Protein
Some living organisms can stand on water because of ___________ ___________, this happens because water is sticking together through cohesion.
Surface Tension
What are the products for cellular respiration?
CO2, H2O, and ATP energy
__________ is an organisms functional role in the community.
Niche
Living things get and use energy. This process is called......
Metabolism
This protein in the cell membrane receives and sends signals to and from other cells.
Receptor Protein
Bacteria "fix" _________ and make it usable for plants. Humans and animals get ______ from eating plants and other animals.
Nitrogen
Cellular respiration happens in the _________ of all living organisms, while photosynthesis occurs in the ____________ of plant cells only.
mitochondria, chloroplast
Organisms that if removed from the ecosystem will have drastic/damaging impacts on the ecosystem and other organisms are called ________ ________ (EX: wolves of Yellowstone)
Keystone Species
What are the three components of the life cycle?
Growth, Reproduction and Death
The movement of water from high to low concentration across a membrane.
Osmosis
Because of its polarity, water can stick to other water molecules and other non-water molecules. These processes are called _________ and ________
Cohesion and Adhesion
