Living Things
All living things do this to create offspring.
What is reproduce?
This system is responsible for breaking down food and turning it into energy.
What is the digestive system?
This organelle is often called "the brain of the cell."
What is the nucleus?
The cellular result/outcome of mitosis (what is produced?).
What are two diploid daughter cells?
This word means a trait will overpower another.
What is dominant?
All living things have these.
What are cells?
This system is responsible for taking in oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide.
What is the respiratory system?
This organelle is often called "the powerhouse of the cell" since it makes ATP (energy) with cellular respiration.
What is the mitochondria?
The cellular result/outcome of meiosis (what is produced?).
What are four haploid daughter cells?
This word means that an individual has two different alleles for the same trait.
What is heterozygous?
All living things need and use this to survive.
What is energy?
You have this many body systems.
What is 11?
This is the type of cell animals and plants are made up of.
What is eukaryotic?
This type of reproduction is often considered "easy" for many reasons.
What is asexual reproduction?
This is the full, scientific name for genetic material found in the nucleus of a cell.
What is deoxyribonucleic acid?
This word means that living things can keep their bodily conditions stable.
What is homeostasis?
This system helps move oxygen around the body.
What is the circulatory system?
This process uses light energy and looks like this:
CO2 + H2O ----> O2 + C6H12O6 (glucose)
What is photosynthesis?
The process of combining gametes from two different organisms of the same species.
What is sexual reproduction?
The scientific name for the bases in DNA.
OR
The full names of the 4 bases (bonus points for the 5th base found in RNA only).
Nucleotides
OR
Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, and Cytosine (Uracil)
All living things do this over time.
What is adapt?
This system combines two groups: one helps you move and pick things up and the other protects your internal organs.
What is the musculoskeletal system?
These three points are called "Cell Theory."
What is "the cell is the basic unit of life?"
What is "new cells come from preexisting cells?"
What is "all living things are made of one or more cells?"
These points show the difference between meiosis and mitosis (name at least 4 differences).
- Meiosis has two phases or divisions, mitosis has one.
- Meiosis makes 4 daughter cells, mitosis makes 2.
- Meiosis is used for sexual reproduction, mitosis is used for asexual reproduction.
- Meiosis's primary function is to make gametes, mitosis is for growth, repair, and replacement.
- Meiosis makes haploid cells, mitosis makes diploid cells.
This is the order of DNA Replication using the names of the 4 enzymes.
- 1st RNA Primase primes the area
- 2nd DNA Helicase unzips the DNA at this area
- 3rd DNA Polymerase attaches and matches bases up to the existing strand
- 4th DNA Ligase connects the Okazaki fragments made by the lagging strand
