Something living, or was once living that was raised or grown without pesticides and contains carbon.
What is Organic
100
the passing of characteristics to offspring
What is heredity
100
the number of individuals in an area
What is Population Density
100
the study of the relationships between biotic and abiotic factors in environments
What is Ecology

– the chameleon can change color to match its surroundings
What is camaflauge
200
Has cells, can be organized, uses energy, has homeostasis, grows and develops, can reproduce.
what are the 6 characteristics of life
200
father of genetics, and starter of the laws of genetics.
Who is Gregor Mendel
200
organisms reproduce at a constant rate.
What is Exponential Growth
200
autotrophs capture from the sun and heterotrophs get it from other living things
What is energy
200
the insect looks like the leaf
What is mimicry
300
The first person to see cells, starting with looking at a cork and saw "many boxes. 1665 Observed living thing in pond water and called them "animalcules" 1675
Who is Robert Hooke and Anton Van Leeuwenhoek
300
A QUICK WAY TO FIND THE GENOTYPES IN UPCOMING GENERATIONS
What is a Punnet Square
300
as resources become less available, growth slows or stops. S-shaped curve
What is Logistic Growth
300
Organism – individual, living thing??Population - all the individuals of the same species (like mallard ducks) in an area Community - all the populations that live together in an area Ecosystem - the community plus the physical factors in an area (rain, light, soil..)?Biome - large area that has a particular climate, with certain species of plants and animals living there (e.g., tundra or grassland)?Biosphere - the part of the earth that supports life
What are the levels of organization in order
300
structures that are similar because they are inherited from a common ancestor
What is Homologous structure
400
1. Every living organism is made of one or more cells. 2. The cell is the basic unit of structure and function. 3. It is the smallest unit that can perform life functions. 4. All cells arise from pre-existing cells.
What is Cell Theory
400
The number of organisms an environment can support. no growth occurs beyond this because of limited resources in the habitat. Where population growth equals zero.
What is carrying capacity
400
makes food from chemicals (some bacteria synthesize food in this way)
What is chemosynthesis
400
structures that are similar because they serve the same function but do not have a common ancestor.
What is Anoogous
500
Ribosomes – make protein for use by the organism Cytoplasm – fluid material within  cell DNA – genetic material Cytoskeleton – internal framework of cell Cell Membrane – outer boundary, some things can cross the cell membrane
What are cell features
500
exist to act as the code for all the proteins that are made in your body.
What are DNA and RNA
500
any factor in an organism’s environment that causes population growth to decrease
What is Limiting factor
500
– new land is created and succession begins changes occur on land where an existing ecosystem has been destroyed
What are Primary succession and secondary succesion
500
A barrier, either physical, like a river changing course, or nonphysical, causes the population to become separated.
What is Geographic Isolation
