With the help of hormones like auxin to stimulate cell growth, plants will naturally bend toward light; a response known as this.
What is phototropism?
100
These two systems work together to not only acquire oxygen from the environment, but also ensure it gets delivered to the cells throughout the body.
What are the respiratory and circulatory systems?
100
This action is triggered by your nervous and integumentary systems as a way to release heat when your body temperature gets too high.
What is sweating?
100
No matter the shape, all viruses contain a protein shell called a capsid that protects the vital genetic instructions which are encoded by this molecule.
What is DNA (or RNA for some viruses)?
100
Got a nucleus.
Cell wall nowhere to be found.
Multicellular.
What is the animal kingdom (or animalia)?
200
Made up of a stigma, style, and ovary, pollen grains from near and far are looking to "shoot their shot" at this female reproductive structure.
What is the pistil?
200
Living things grow and develop. This system is responsible for producing and releasing hormones, such as human growth factors.
What is the endocrine system?
200
It's the yellow, bumpy organ pictured here that secretes insulin and glucagon to help regulate blood-sugar levels.
What is the pancreas?
200
Since viruses lack basic cellular structures and cannot perform this process without a host cell, most scientists do not classify them as iving things.
What is reproduce (or replicate themselves)?
200
Been around awhile.
Found in some extreme places.
Prokaryotic.
What is archaea (or archaebacteria)?
300
Analogous to the lungs in our human respiratory system, this structure allows plants to exchange gases with their environment.
What are stomata?
300
Specialized white blood cells work to patrol, detect, and neutralize foreign agents that may cause disease. For this reason, they are integral parts of these two systems.
What are the immune and circulatory systems.
300
When blood-glucose levels are too high, insulin helps lower it. When levels are too low, glucagon helps increase it. Body responses like this are an example of this type of feedback system.
What is negative feedback?
300
The attachment structures depicted here allow a virus to anchor itself to a host cell. They are made up mostly of these amino acid containing macromolecules.
What are proteins?
300
I'm a producer.
Green is my favorite color.
Wall of cellulose.
What is the plant kingdom (or plantae)?
400
Made up of a pollen-containing anther and a filament, it's the name of the male reproductive parts of the flower shown here.
What are stamen?
400
Along with the endocrine system to help recognize a shortage of water in the body, this system may shut down urine production in an effort to conserve water.
What is the excretory system?
400
This system consists of your largest organ as it helps protect, control water loss, and help regulate your temperature.
What is the integumentary system?
400
It's the fatty molecules that make up the bilayer of a cell membrane that many viruses attach to. Medicines that prevent viral attachment are effective at limiting viral transmission.
What are phosopholipids (or just lipids)?
400
Cell wall of chitin.
Nuclear membrane in tact.
Love to decompose.
What is the fungi kingdom?
500
Like your circulatory system, plants have vascular tissues to transport nutrients. This tissue helps channel water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant.
What is xylem?
500
The microvilli and capillaries pictured here line the small intestines to help absorb and deliver nutrients to the body. These two systems are directly involved.
What are the digestive and circulatory systems?
500
Alphabetically it's the two hormones that Ed's endocrine and circulatory systems use to initiate a flight response from a bee attack, and regulate his sleep cycle.
What are adrenaline and melatonin?
500
Whether used to describe a strep-causing bacteria or an influenza-causing virus any agent that causes disease is referred to as this P-word.
What is a pathogen?
500
Prokaryotic
Eserechia coli
Single-cellular
What is Eubacteria?
