Vocabulary
All the land, water, and atmosphere that supports life around the earth.
Biosphere
The ability to do work (or cause change)
Energy
or (Obtain energy)
This need makes it possible for living things to carry out their life processes by getting nutrients.
Food
The part of the microscope you look through.
Eyepiece (or ocular)
Meats, beans, or peanut butter
A large landmass, on the same plate, surrounded by a body of water.
Continent
This happens very quickly (like blinking) and usually has a stimulus and a response.
Respond to surroundings
This need begins with the sun and is passed down from one living thing to another.
Energy
This object is used to focus the microscope on low and medium power. If you use it on high power it could break the slide.
Course adjustment
These boost your metabolism by providing an excellent source of sugar that can be broken down over time.
Carbohydrates (carbs)
Ability to keep the body temperature the same, despite the outside conditions
Homeostasis
Without these, an organism would not be counted as a living thing.
Cells
This need is important because every species has a specific one, based on if they are endothermic or ectothermic.
These are found on the microscope and can be found in low (4x), medium (10x) and high (40x).
Objectives
This type of sugar would be excellent for a quick boost of energy that would burn and be gone in a matter of minutes.
Simple sugars
A change in the environment that causes a reaction by an organism
Stimulus
This occurs when a single cell gets bigger or when a multicellular organism adds more cells.
Hint: If it did not occur humans would be adult babies.
Grow and develop
This need can be demonstrated in the Nitrogen cycle as well as the carbon dioxide - oxygen cycle.
Gas exchange
What is the total magnification (power) when you are looking through the eyepiece (10x) and the medium objective (10x)?
100x
These are the instructions for cells and found in the nucleus. Examples are DNA and RNA.
Nucleic acid
Made of amino acids, these are used to repair the body and help make your immune system stronger.
Proteins
This usually takes thousands of years and causes a change in an organism over time that allows it to survive in its environment.
Adapt to surroundings (adaptation)
This need provides protection and is usually found around a food and water source.
What part of the microscope do you put the specimen (glass slide) on?
Stage
These are found in fats and oils. They are used to insulate for homeostasis and act like bubble wrap to protect your internal organs.
Lipids
