Criteria for Life
The first criterion of life is that all living things contain hereditary information which enables life to continue through reproduction.
What is DNA?
A DNA molecule is shaped like a regular ladder, twisted, and is called by it's shape.
What is a double helix?
The study of animals and how they live.
What is zoology?
A method of sorting things according to shard qualities or characteristics.
What is classification?
This cell has a nucleus.
What is eukaryotic cells?
All living organisms must eat to create this and meet the criteria of life.
What is energy?
DNA is the instruction manual for all living things and is found in the place in a cell.
What is the nucleus?
The study of organism's structures.
What is Anatomy?
This kingdom contains mostly single-celled, prokaryotic microorganisms (bacteria).
What is Kingdom Monera?
This cell does NOT have a nucleus and is without distinct, membrane-bound organelles.
What is prokaryotic cells?
This sixth and final criteria helps increase cell size or increase cell number.
What is growth?
Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, and Cytosine are these bases found in the DNA.
A-T will always link together and G-C will always link together.
What are Nucleotide Bases?
The study of the function of organism's structures.
What is physiology?
Biologists in other countries use a 5-kingdom system, which biologists in the United States use this type of classification system. (Bonus - don't use this kingdom)
What is 3-Domain Classifcation?
Bonus 200 points if mention - Don't use Kingdom Monera.
This type of cell has a membrane and a cell wall.
What is a plant cell?
All living things can sense changes in their surroundings and respond to those changes with a unique feature.
What are receptors?
All living things pass on their DNA through this process.
What is reproduction?
The study of plants.
What is botany?
What is Domain Eukarya?
An organism that breaks down the dead remains of other organisms.
What is a decomposer?
All living things chemically regulate their internal environment so it is stable through this process.
What is homeostasis?
God designed each living organism's reproduction strategy to meet that organism's survival need. That's why in natural some will have many offspring while others have few. The turtle will have this type of offspring.
What is many offspring?
The study of how organisms interact with their surroundings and each other.
What is ecology?
There are many species within a genus grouping. Every genus belongs to ______ and they can be further grouped together in a(n)________.
What is family and order?
In plant cells, wilting occurs because the cells are not getting enough water to fill their central vacuoles. The vacuoles don't push against the cell walls to provide the rigidity needed to hold the plant. Which creates this pressure.
What is turgor pressure?
