Classification
This domain is charactirized by a wide range of organisms that all contain a cellular membrane and nucleus. Therefore, there are 4 kingdoms that represent a range of unicellular and multicelluar organisms: plants, animals, protists, and fungi.
What is the Eukarya Domain?
This type of organism must get its energy/food through consuming other organisms; it cannot make its own through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis.
What is a heterotroph?
This is the process that transforms carbon from a liquid form in fossil fuels to a gas form in the atmosphere.
What is by burning/combustion?
These are the two reactants needed for plants to undergo photosynthesis.
What is water (H2O) and Carbon Dioxide (CO2)?
This type of human body system contains all the bones. It works together with the muscular system to allow the body to move.
What is the skeletal system?
This domain is characterized by organisms that are prokaryotic, lack a nuclear membrane, have ancient origins, and can survive extreme environments. There is only one kingdom in this domain: archaebacteria.
What is the Archaea Domain?
This type of organism can make its own food through chemical reactions. Some use photosynthesis (more common) and some rely on chemosynthesis (deep ocean organisms).
What are autotrophs?
This is the process in which the gaseous form of carbon in the atmosphere is turned into a solid form within plants.
What is photosynthesis?
These are the two products of the photosynthesis reaction.
What is Oxygen (O2) and Glucose (C6H12O6)?
This type of human body system helps us process what we eat and break it down into usable nutrients that can then be transported to the rest of the body.
What is the digestive system?
These are the 8 levels of classification in order from broadest to most specific.
Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species.
This type of diversity encompasses both the ways different species interact with each other and how these species interact with their environment.
What is Ecological Diversity?
Animals and Plants must first die before these types of organisms can process organic carbon back into the soil.
What are decomposers?
This law states that matter in an isolated system can be neither created or destroyed.
What is the Law of Conservation of Mass?
This type of system helps us take in oxygen that is needed throughout the body for the creation of energy through respiration and also expels the waste product of Carbon Dioxide back into the atmosphere.
What is the respiratory system?
This domain is characterized by single-celled organisms that lack a nucleus (prokaryotic). They are found everywhere on earth and contain the Eubacteria Kingdom.
What is the Bacteria domain?
Rocks, water, and sunlight are all examples of this type of factor that limits and/or increases population growth in an ecosystem.
What are abiotic factors?
All living organisms must undergo this type of chemical process that breaks apart sugar for energy, therefore releasing carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere.
What is respiration?
This plant part is responsible for letting Carbon Dioxide into the leaf and oxygen out of the leaf. It is usually found on the underside of a leaf.
What is the stoma?
This type of system transports oxygen, glucose, carbon dioxide, and many needed hormones throughout the entire body. It is directly responsible for maintaining life.
What is the cardiovascular system?
Examples of this level of classification are mammals, birds, reptiles, and flowering plants.
What is a class?
Starting with the most specific level of organization, the organism, these are the 4 levels of organization for an ecosystem.
What is organism, population, community, and ecosystem?
This type of organisms will process carbon through feeding on another organism in order to gain glucose to use as energy.
What are animals (or heterotrophs)?
This type of plant "vein" is responsible for transporting water and nutrients throughout the plant, not just from the roots to the rest of the plant.
What is the phloem?
This system is responsible for cleaning the blood of waste materials and toxins and processing them into urine so they can be removed from the body.
What is the excretory system?
