Characteristics of Life
This is the characteristic of life where organisms pass on their hereditary information (DNA) by producing offspring.
What is reproduction?
This organelle is the site of photosynthesis (only in plants).
What is the chloroplast?
This is the process by which plants turn light energy from the sun into chemical energy stored in organic molecules (glucose).
What is photosynthesis?
Process by which all living organisms break down glucose (organic molecule) in order to produce ATP (energy).
What is Cellular Respiration?
The cell theory states that all living things must be made of this.
What are cells?
All of the metabolic processes that take place in living organisms. Examples - breaking down starch to glucose for usable energy, digesting proteins into amino acids
What is metabolism?
This organelle is the site of cellular respiration (production of ATP = Energy).
What is the mitochondria?
This is the main energy source of photosynthesis.
What is the sun?
The main energy source for cellular respiration.
What is food?
Glucose, Iodine and this molecule are able to diffuse in and out of the cell membrane because of their small size.
What is water?
The ability for living organisms to get bigger and more complex and repair damage in their bodies, growing from a seed to a small plant to a large tree, a cut on your skin healing, growing and changing from a caterpillar to a butterfly.
What is growth and development?
This organelle contains DNA (hereditary material).
What is the nucleus?
_________trophs are able to make their own food by photosynthesis.
What are autotrophs?
______trophs must get energy by eating other organisms like plants or other animals.
What are heterotrophs?
This kind of transport requires energy.
What is active transport?
The ability to maintain internal stability through biological processes in the organism. Keep things in the right range like body temperature, oxygen levels, energy levels, examples - sweating when hot, shivering when cold, breathing faster when need more oxygen
What is homeostasis?
This organelle controls what is able to enter and exit the cell (plants and animals).
What is the cell membrane?
This is when photosynthesis is able to occur.
What is only when the sun is out?
This is when cellular respiration occurs in all living organisms.
What is all the time?
What is the number of boxes on your graph paper?
Reacting to the environment around you in order to stay alive and carry out life processes. Examples - putting on a jacket when you are cold, pulling your hand off of a hot stove, plants growing towards the sun.
What is response to stimuli?
This organelle is the site for protein synthesis (makes proteins).
What is the ribosome?
These are the reactants of photosynthesis.
What is carbon dioxide and water?
These are the reactants of cellular respiration.
What are glucose and oxygen?
Viruses, mitochondria and chloroplasts are exceptions to the cell theory because they contain this.
What is genetic material (DNA)?
