Cells
The foundational units of life, serving as the building blocks for all living organisms
Cells
Fights things your body deems bad
Immune
The body's way of keeping internal balance, like regulating temperature and blood sugar.
Homeostasis
Segments (sections) of DNA that contain specific bases that create a particular protein
Genes
Biodiversity is important because...
Keeps balance by having multiple organisms in case there is a problem with one
Bacteria is an example of this kind of cell.
Unicellular, Prokaryotes
This system breaks down food into absorbable nutrients and eliminate some kinds of waste.
Digestive System
A regulatory mechanism that counteracts changes happening in the organism.
NEGATIVE feedback loop
What the letters in "DNA" stand for.
Deoxyribonucleic Acid
A diagram of all the organisms and now they interact.
Parts of plant cells that distinguish them from animal cells.
Cell wall, chloroplasts
This system transports nutrients, gases, waste products, and hormones throughout the body and uses this organ.
Circulatory or Cardiovascular
Heart
When your muscles shiver, your body is attempting to fix what issue?
Your body temperature is too low (Thermoregulation).
Long strings of DNA wrapped around proteins to make them compact. They contain genes, which serve as blueprints for protein synthesis.
Chromosomes
The best type of evidence to show that organisms came from a common ancester.
DNA
The membrane bound organelle in eukaryotic cells that contains DNA.
Nucleus
The _____________________ system gets rid of metabolic waste by using ______________ (organ).
Exocrine
Kidney
An example of this type of feedback loop is during childbirth when contractions get stronger until the baby is born.
POSITIVE feedback loop (amplifies changes in the body)
DNA is shaped this way.
Double Helix (like a twisted ladder)
The reason why all organisms are what they are today.
Natural Selection
The organelle in which genetic material is made into proteins.
Ribosome
These 2 systems regulate our body
Nervous and Endocrine
If this occurs, your body releases a hormone called insulin to return to homeostasis.
High blood sugar levels
What each base pair is named (A, T, G, C).
A = Adenine, T = Thymine
G = Guanine, C = Cytosine
Ecological Succession
