Cell Parts
The brain of the cell
Nucleus
a groups of cells working together
tissue
Main function of circulatory system
transport material and oxygen throughout the body
Biotic or Abiotic - insects, animals, plants
Biotic or Abiotic - amount of sunlight, temperature, amount of water
Abiotic
provides protection, structure, and shape
Cell Wall
a group of tissues working together
organ
main function of digestive system
break down and absorb food
Why is offspring identical in asexual reproduction
Only 1 parent, so only 1 set of genetic information
Why is offspring different in sexual reproduction?
Genetic info comes from 2 different parents
Where photosynthesis happens
Chloroplast
a group of organs working together
organ system
Which systems interact and coordinate all body systems?

What is a function of roots (for a plant)?

Stores material and water
Vacuole
All cells come from...
pre-existing cells
Sweating to keep the body from overheating is an example of what process?
homeostasis
What is it called when a species adapts to its environment and passes those traits on to its offspring, there by eliminating the less desired trait? (think of the giraffes not being able to eat the leaves)
natural selection
What pathway do most nutrients take after you take a bite of food?
digestive system -> circulatory system -> body cells
Controls what goes in and out of the cell
Cell Membrane
Organization of life, from simplest to most complex
cells -> tissues -> organs -> organ systems
Which body system includes the lungs, nose, and mouth?
Respiratory
cell wall and chloroplast
Three reasons why animals move
to find food/water
to find shelter
to find a mate
