Living and Non-Living Things
non-living organism
abiotic
C6H12O6
what is glucose, a sugar & carbohydrate
The site of cellular respiration/ ATP production
What is the mitochondria?
Tightly coiled strands of DNA that carries genetic information, found in the nucleus of eukaryotes & sections of these
chromosomes, genes
Complex 3D organic molecule responsible for lowering the activation energy f a chemical reaction.
What is an enzyme?
An organism that obtains energy from sunlight or inorganic compounds.
What is an autotroph or producer
A green pigment responsible for the absorption of light to provide energy for photosynthesis.
chlorophyll
Usable energy that is created through cellular respiration
ATP
Part of plant cell where photosynthesis takes place
Chloroplasts
2 terms:
Process through which populations of living organisms adapt and change as a result of which are able to live long enough to reproduce AND
Gradual change in a species over time
natural selection, evolution
Double helix shape, blueprint for all living things
genetic code, DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid
Responsible for processing all incoming information to determine a proper bodily response.
Consists of the brain and spinal cord
central nervous system
the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water.
What is photosynthesis
The powerhouse of the cell where respiration happens
mitochondria
Having the same 2 alleles for genetic trait -- for example, either dominant AA or recessive aa
homozygous
Basic building block of DNA, a nucleic acid.
nucleotide
>An organisms ability to maintain balance with all systems and stay alive
Homeostasis
System of the body where the blood picks up O2 and drops off extra CO2 & which main organs are involved?
Circulatory system - heart, lungs
>Main control center of the cell of eukaryotes
>Contains DNA
nucleus
asexual reproduction & type of offspring created
mitosis, exact daughter cells created
Base pair that matches Guanine
5 elements that make up all living things on earth
Carbon
Hydrogen
Nitrogen
Oxygen
Phosphorus
Sulfur
6CO2 + 6H2O ------> C6H12O6 + 6O2
C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP
equation for photosynthesis
equation for cellular respiration
Give an example of an organism made of eukaryotic cells
humans, plants, other animals (multi-cellular organisms)
Form of reproduction that needs two parents, a male and female, to produce and offspring -- involves meiosis
mitosis, sexual reproduction
