What does this formula represent C6H12O6
Glucose
Name ATLEAST 3 organs you can live without
a lung, a kidney, your spleen, appendix, gall bladder, adenoids, tonsils, plus some of your lymph nodes, some bones
The site of cellular respiration/ ATP production
What is the mitochondria?
the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water.
What is photosynthesis
What is the difference between adhesion and cohesion of water?
Cohesion is when water molecules stick to each other
Glucose is converted to this usable form of energy through cellular respiration
What is ATP?
What type of symbiosis is it when two organisms closely interact and help each other?
Mutualism
The movement of ions or molecules across a cell membrane into a region of higher concentration, assisted by enzymes and requiring energy.
What is active transport?
The organelle where photosynthesis takes place.
What is a chloroplast
The monomer of a protein.
What is an amino acid?
What type of consumer feeds on both plants and animals?
Omnivore
What body system is responsible for protecting your health?
immune system
Microscopic non-living agent composed of proteins enveloping strands of DNA or RNA.
virus
What is the products of cellular respiration?
Carbon dioxide, water, and ATP
What helps to lower the energy of activation of a chemical reaction in living things?
Enzymes
A green pigment is responsible for light absorption to provide energy for photosynthesis.
chlorophyll
A process that requires oxygen to release energy.
Aerobic respiration (cellular respiration)
extra points for naming what respiration does NOT use oxygen
An organism that obtains energy from sunlight or inorganic compounds.
autotroph or producer
Name 1 thing that releases carbon into the atmosphere and 1 thing that removes it
Release: animals, cars, factories, volcanoes
Removes: Trees, plants, grass, phytoplankton, seaweed
What tool is used in biology to see very small things like cells
microscope
Name 5 organelles in a cell
(1) nucleolus (2) nucleus (3) ribosome (4) vesicle (5) rough endoplasmic reticulum (6) Golgi apparatus (7) cytoskeleton (8) smooth endoplasmic reticulum (9) mitochondria (10) vacuole
a movement of ions and other atomic or molecular substances across cell membranes without need of energy input.
passive transport
It regulates the passage of molecules in and out of the cell
plasma membrane.
Short term energy storage for an organism. Hint: it is one of the four macromolecules (Lipids, Carbohydrates, Protein, or Nucleic Acids)
carbohydrate
Describe the 10% energy rule of ecosystems
only 10 percent of energy can be passed from one trophic level to the next. (example, from producers to consumers)
