Cells
Power house of the cell.
Mitochondria
A behavioral adaptation of a long distance journey for food, water, temperature/weather, etc.
Example of organisms: Canadian Geese, Salmon, and Monarch Butterfly
Migration
In genetics, it describes an allele or a gene that is expressed in an organism’s phenotype, masking the effect of the recessive allele or gene when present;
Dominant
System including bones, ligaments, tendons, and joints.
Skeletal
organelle that encapsulates the contents of the cell, plays a vital role in regulating the movement of substances in and out of the cell.
Cell (plasma) membrane
Genetic changes that help animals survive in their environment.
Physical Adaptations
the set of observable characteristics of an individual resulting from the interaction of its genotype with the environment.
Phenotype
Organs including mouth, stomach, small and large intestin.
Digestive
the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water.
Photosynthesis
At the bottom of the food web, take energy from the sun to make sugar.
A. Primary Consumer
B. Producer
C. Secondary Consumer
Producer
having two different alleles of a particular gene or genes.
Heterozygous or Homozygous
Heterozygous
System allows for movement.
Muscular
a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus, typical of ordinary tissue growth.
Mitosis
Non-living chemical and physical parts of the environment that affect living organisms and the functioning of ecosystems.
Abiotic factors
a square diagram that is used to predict the genotypes of a particular cross or breeding experiment.
Punnett Square
Body system responsible for receiving information about the environment around us (sensation) and generating responses to that information (motor responses).
Nervous
the process by which organisms combine oxygen with foodstuff molecules, diverting the chemical energy in these substances into life-sustaining activities and discarding, as waste products, carbon dioxide and water.
Cellular respiration
an organism that regularly consumes a variety of material, including plants, animals, algae, and fungi. They range in size from tiny insects like ants to large creatures—like people.
Omnivore
A homozygous dominant Tall (TT) plant breeds with a homozygous recessive short plant (tt). What is their offspring's phenotype?
Tall
Organ system consisting of the skin, hair, nails, and exocrine glands.
