Cells
The small parts that make up a cell (each has at least one specific function)
What are Organelles?
The process used by all organisms to produce energy by using oxygen to burn sugar in order to release energy in the form of ATP.
What is Respiration?
A fertilized egg.
What are gametes?
The passing of genetic information from one generation to the next through reproduction.
What is Heredity?
The fight for limited resources.
What is Competition?
Where proteins are made (Synthesized).
What are ribosomes.
The process of breaking large molecules sown into smaller molecules.
What is digestion?
The type of reproduction where the offspring is identical to the parent.
What is Asexual reproduction?
Any alteration of the DNA sequence which changes the normal message carried by the gene.
What is a Mutation?
Differences among organisms in a species.
What is Variation?
The POWERHOUSE of the cell where energy is made in the form of ATP.
What are the mitochondria?
The removal of all waste produced by the cells of the body.
What is Excretion?
Where the egg and important female hormones are produced.
What is the Ovary?
Technology that humans use to alter the genetic instructions in organisms.
What is Genetic Engineering?
The disappearance of an entire species caused by a failure to adapt to a changing environment.
What is Extinction?
The control center of the cell and contains DNA.
What is the Nucleus?
The making or building of large molecules from smaller ones.
What is Synthesis?
The place where fertilization occurs in mammals?
What are the Fallopian tubes (oviduct)?
The process of picking parents with favorable traits to produce those traits in the offspring.
What is Selective Breeding?
The process by which organisms change over time.
What is Evolution?
Controls the transport of materials into and out of the cell (selective permeability).
What is the Cell Membrane?
What is the process of storing the energy from the sun in the chemical bonds of glucose (sugar).
What is Photosynthesis?
The organ that is attached to the baby via the umbilical cord provides nutrients and oxygen to the fetus and removes waste through the process of diffusion.
What is the Placenta?
A group of closely related organisms that share certain characteristics and can produce offspring capable of reproduction.
What is a Species?
Nature selects those individuals who are best fit for the environment.
What is Natural Selection?
