The two types of membrane transport (one needs energy, one doesn't)
Active and Passive
This organism is killed by antibiotics prescribed by a doctor.
Bacteria
The site of cellular respiration (ATP production)
Mitochondria
The process where green plants and some other bacteria use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water.
Photosynthesis
Organic molecule responsible for speeding up a chemical reaction.
enzyme
Usable Cellular Energy
ATP
A type of cellular respiration that DOES NOT require oxygen.
Anaerobic
This is the name given to the frontal, parietal, occipital, and temporal lobe (all together)
Cerebrum
An organelle where photosynthesis takes place.
Chloroplast
The monomer of a protein.
Amino acid
Organisms that have the most energy on a food pyramid.
Producers, plants, autotrophs
This is the part of the flower that produces male gametes (pollen).

common ancestor
The three most abundant elements in living things; These are the atoms found in Carbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins, and Nucleic Acids.
carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen
A green organelle responsible for the absorption of light to provide energy for photosynthesis.
Type of Cellular Respiration that REQUIRES oxygen to release energy.
Aerobic
The tube that moves water and minerals through the stems of plants is called the ____. The tube that moves food/sugar is called the _____.
Xylem, Phloem
The molecule created by plants. It provides quick-burning energy.
Glucose
These are the three parts of a nucleotide
Phosphate, Sugar, (nitrogen) Base
Type of inheritance that causes an offspring to express BOTH traits. EX: Speckled chickens
Codominance
Movement of ions and other molecular substances across cell membranes without need of energy.
Passive transport
This structure regulates the passage of molecules in and out of the cytoplasm.
Plasma membrane/cell membrane
Organisms with helpful adaptations will often survive and reproduce. This can lead to the evolution of the species over time. What term summaries this idea?
Natural Selection
A cell placed in this type of solution will SWELL (water goes into the cell)
Hypotonic
