Growth & Reproduction
100
These are the levels of organization in ecology.
(At what levels do ecologists study the relationships between living and non-living systems?)
Individual, Species, Population, Community, Ecosystem, Biosphere
100
Define metabolism.
Breaking down and rearranging molecules needed for growth and development.
100
This is HOMEOSTASIS.
A balance between the all the levels of organization in the body.
100
The definition of a stimulus. Give one example.
Something that provokes a response.
A loud sound, hunger pains, movement, etc.
100
The definition of growth.
An increase in the size of an organism or part of the organism.
200
Bacteria, archaea, & eukaryota
What are the three domains of organisms?
200
Write or draw what occurs during anabolism.
Changing small molecules into larger molecules.
200
List at least three systems of our body that need to be monitored and maintained.
Temperature, Weight, Sleep, Thirst (others may be given not listed)
200
These cells in the eyes detect colors of light.
What are cones?
200
These are the five factors affect growth.
Nutrition, genetics, contamination, environmental conditions, hormones
300
These characteristics are used to place living organisms in a phylogenetic tree.
What are physiology and genetics.
300
Write or draw the process of catabolism.
Breaking down larger molecules into smaller ones and energy (ATP).
300
These are the steps of a feedback loop.
Stimulus, Receptor, Control Unit, Effector
300
Name the four different receptors in living organisms.
Photoreceptors, Thermoreceptors, Chemoreceptors, Mechanoreceptors
300
These four factors affect development.
Genetics, Environment, Nutrition, Gender
400
These are the five kingdoms of classification.
Monera, Protists, Fungi, Plants, Animals
400
This is why plants have a second metabolism.
To adapt to their environment.
400
Give two behavioral strategies that are used to combat changes in temperature.
Seeking shade, Huddling, Movement, Spraying self with water
400
This is the definition of adaptation. Give one example.
A process by which an organism becomes more fitted to its environment.
Ex. Color change of fur for the seasons.
400
These are the two ways an animal or plant can reproduce.
Sexually or asexually
500
These show the progression of evolutionary development.
What is a cladogram?
500
A state of slowed metabolism that allows a living thing to go through long periods of inactivity.
What is torpor?
500
Name one animal that is classified as an ectotherm.
Any amphibian or reptile.
500
This is how is evolution different than adaptation.
Adaptation can be reversable, evolution is not reversable and changes the complexity of an organism.
500
These are the three categories of asexual reproduction.
Fragmentation, Division, and Budding
