Ecology
The name for animals that eat plants.
Herbivores or primary consumers
This type of cell does not contain a nucleus.
Prokaryotic cell
This is the gas taken in during photosynthesis
Carbon dioxide
The cell membrane lets some things in and keeps other things out. The cell is _____________________
Semipermeable or selectively permeable
This term means maintaining a constant internal environment
Homeostasis
A type of succession that occurs on bare rock (no soil present)
Primary succession
This organelle makes energy in the form of ATP
Mitochondria
This the gas used to start the process of cellular respiration
Oxygen
If you were stranded in the ocean, you could not drink saltwater to survive. Why?
Salt dehydrates/shrinks cells
This pigment absorbs sunlight in the chloroplast
Chlorophyll
The name for a members of the same species living in the same area
Population
This organelle makes lipids for the cell
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (ER)
Created at the end of cellular respiration, this is usable energy for your cells
ATP
When too much water moves INTO your cells, the cell is:
Hypotonic
This organelle is responsible for protein synthesis.
Ribosome
What is carrying capacity?
The maximum number of individuals an area can support
This type of organelle is considered the storage unit of the cell. It can be very large inside
Vacuole
Which stage of cellular respiration makes the most ATP for your cells?
Electron Transport Chain (ETC)
The type of passive transport that requires a protein channel to move larger molecules through the cell membrane
Facilitated diffusion
This organelle is responsible for packaging and sending material across the cell.
Golgi apparatus/Golgi bodies
If there is 3200 kCal of energy available for the producers, how much energy will be available for the tertiary consumers?
3.2 kCal
This organelle gets rid of waste and is only found in animal cells.
Lysosome
This is a form of anaerobic respiration that occurs in animals/humans and causes muscles to be sore
Lactic acid fermentation
A cell is placed in a solution of 10% salt and 90% water. The inside of the cell is 5% salt.
1. Which way will the water move? 2. Will the cell shrink, swell or stay the same?
The water will move out and the cell will shrink
Viruses are not considered living things. This is because... (2 reasons)
They are not made of cells and must rely on a host to reproduce
