Cell Structure
What is the mitochondria?
This biome typically consists of sand and extreme heat.
What is a desert?
What is photosynthesis?
The adaptations an organism undergoes in accordance to their environment.
What is evolution?
The property that explains water's tendency to stick to surfaces.
What is adhesion?
The name of a cell's components or "organs."
What is an organelle?
A change occurring in an environment that takes place over generations. Examples include forest fires and floods.
What is primary succession?
A cell's process of breaking down glucose (as a result from photosynthesis) and converted into CO2 and H2O. It also produces ATP in the process.
What is cellular respiration?
The building blocks that every living creature has. Can be reduced to two categories: plant and animal.
What are cells?
The property that explains water's tendency to adhere to other water molecules.
What is cohesion?
The heart and center of a eukaryotic cell. Holds the majority of the cell's genetic material.
What is the nucleus?
A change that occurs in an environment typically over the course of a few decades. Usually occurs after a major environmental change. An example of this would be a tree falling over.
What is secondary succession?
One of the many products of photosynthesis. Chemically, this can be described as "watered carbon."
What are carbohydrates?
What is capillary action?
The "fluid-like filling" of of a cell - surrounds and encases each cell component.
What is cytoplasm?
Factors of an environment that consist of non-living and physical elements.
What is an abiotic factor?
This occurs when a single cell divides twice to produce four offspring with half of its genetic information.
What is meiosis?
The idea of "survival of the fittest" - the downfall of weaker organisms for the benefit of the strong. Nature's way of "selecting" better-adapted organisms for the next generation.
What is natural selection?
This property is the reason why polar ice caps stay afloat despite their size.
What is density?
Responsible for capturing light energy and conducting photosynthesis. Full of thylakoid structures.
What is chloroplast?
One of the leading causes of global warming. Excessive presence of this emission causes the atmosphere to heat up.
What is carbon dioxide?
Found in the membrane of the mitochondria, this molecular complex converts energy into ATP.
What is ATP synthase?
The biological and inherent desire of an organism's cells to maintain equilibrium.
What is homeostasis?
The property that allows certain animals walk on water. This also explains why certain objects don't break through water's surface.
What is surface tension?
