Characterisitcs of Life
Living things are made of these basic units.
What are cells?
This organelle performs photosynthesis.
What is the chloroplast?
This organelle is where cellular respiration occus.
What is mitochondria?
The arrows in a food chain represent __________.
What is transfer of energy?
A rock is an example of this.
What is abiotic factor?
A plant growing from a seed into a mature tree demonstrates this characteristic of life.
What is growth and development?
The types of organisms that do photosynthesis.
What are producers or autotrophs?
They two types of fermentation.
What is lactic acid and alcoholic fermentation?
An organism that eats only plants is called this.
What is an herbivore?
A chicken egg in a carton at Publix is considered _______.
(Biotic or Abiotic)
What is biotic?
A person sweating on a hot day demonstrates this characteristic of life.
What is maintaining homeostasis?
Name the three reactants (inputs) of photosynthesis.
Carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight.
The starting materials of cellular repiration.
What are glucose and oxygen?
According to the 10% Rule, if grass contains 1,000 calories, name the amount of energy that reaches the primary consumer.
What is 100 calories?
This gas is used in photosynthesis and released in cellular respiration.
What is carbon dioxide?
A rabbit runs away when it hears a loud noise. Which characteristic of life is shown?
What is responding to stimuli?
Name the two products (outputs) of photosynthesis.
Glucose and oxygen.
The products of cellular respiration.
What is carbon dioxide, water, and ATP energy?
The organisms that break down and recycle nutrients back into the soil.
What are decomposers?
Identify all characteristics of life shown:
A young oak tree uses sunlight to make food, grows taller each year, and produces acorns.
What is Growth & Development; Metabolism; Reproduction?
Scientists discover an organism that grows, uses energy, and reproduces. To confirm it is living, they find this molecule carrying genetic information. What is this molecule?
What is DNA?
Explain how photosynthesis and cellular respiration depend on one another.
The products of one become the reactants of the other.
A student sprints 400 meters and their muscles begin burning. Name the process that they are likely using and why it is using that process.
What is lactic acid fermentation because oxygen is limited?
List 4 the trophic levels starting with producer.
What is
Producer → Primary Consumer → Secondary Consumer → Tertiary Consumer ?
A plant uses sunlight to make glucose. A rabbit eats the plant. A fox eats the rabbit. Draw a food chain and explain what happens to the energy.
What is...Plant-->rabbit-->fox
There is the most energy in the plant because it makes its own food. Only 10 percent gets transfered to the rabbit and then 10 percent of that gets transfered to the fox.
