Levels of Organization
What is the smallest living thing?
Cell
This system is responsible for transporting oxygen and nutrients to all the body's cells
Circulatory System
What is Asexual Reproduction?
Involves a single parent and produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent
An evolutionary process where the environment "selects" the organism best adapted to survive and reproduce
Natural Selection
What is Archaea?
A kingdom of single celled prokaryotic organisms that often live in extreme environments.
What do you call a group of similar cells working together?
Tissue
What is the Circulatory System responsiable for?
It is responsiable for transporting essential substances throught the body
Reproduction where only one parent is involved, and the offspring are genetically identical to that parent
Asexual Reproduction
What is Natural selection?
Is the process by which organism with traits better suited to their environment tend to survive and reproduce more offspring
What are fungi?
Eukaryotic organisms, mostly multicellular, that get their food by absorbing nutrients form their surroundings
How do Skeletal and Muscular system work together?
They generate movement and stability.
What is the longest bone in the human body?
The femur
What is reproduction?
Is a Biological proccess by which new individual organisms "offspring" are produced
A breeding method where humans deliberately choose which organisms reproduce to achieve desired traits
Artificial Selection
How do organisms obtain energy and nutrients?
Organisms obtain energy and nutrients through 2 main methods: autotrophy and heterotrophy
What comes after an organ in the organization scale?
An Organ System
What is the Integumentary system?
This is our primary defense and plays crucial roles in temperature regulation and protection
The process where an egg cell and sperm cell fuse to form a new organism
Fertillization
What is the difference between how traits are chosen in natural selection versus artificial selection?
The main difference is who or what is doing the selecting because in one humans pick and in the other one the environment chooses
What is plantea?
This kingdom includes flowering plants, ferns, and mosses known for producing photosynthesis
Name the 2 main types of cells
Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic
This system produces hormones that regulate various bodily functions like growth and metabolism
Endocrine System
In plants, this is the process by which pollen travels from the male part to the female part of a flower
Pollination
An example of Artificial selection is the wide variety of dog breeds that exist from a common ancestor
Domestication
True or False
Kingdoms are the hightest taxonomic rank of organisms, and their classification has envolved over time.
