Cells
The smallest unit of life
What is the cell?
This is the kingdom humans belong to
What is Animalia (or animals)?
Almost all organisms on Earth get energy from this
What is the sun?
TT and tt are examples of this
What is homozygous?
This gas is produced during photosynthesis and is important for humans when they breathe
What is oxygen?
These cells contain a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles
What are eukaryotic cells?
This kingdom consists of single-celled, prokaryotic organisms that live in extreme environments
What is archaea?
These organisms make up the base of food webs because they can do photosynthesis
What are producers? (or autotrophs)
Tt and tt are examples of this
What is heterozygous?
In photosynthesis, plants use this atmospheric gas to create oxygen and glucose
What is carbon dioxide?
This part of the cell is the control center, containing DNA
What is the nucleus?
This kingdom consists of decomposers that are multicellular, eukaryotic, and have cell walls made of chitin
What is fungi?
For the food chain: grass -> worm -> bird -> bobcat, what is the secondary consumer?
What is the bird?
This tool, consisting of four squares, is used by scientists to model the passing of alleles to offspring
What is a Punnett Square?
In this process, oxygen and glucose are converted into carbon dioxide, water, and ATP energy
What is respiration?
This part of the cell contains chlorophyll
What is the chloroplast?
This category of animals does not have a backbone
What are invertebrates?
These factors such as light, temperature, and water are important parts of ecosystems
What are abiotic factors?
If the parent plants have the genes TT and tt, what percent of the offspring will be tall?
What is 100%?
This cellular organelle produces ATP energy and is the powerhouse of the cell
What is the mitochondria?
This part of the cell is semi-permeable and surrounds the cell
What is the cell membrane?
This category of plants absorb water directly from its surroundings without using xylem or phloem
What is a nonvascular plant?
This biological level of classification contains all the living organisms in the ecosystem
What is community?
If the parent plants have the genes Tt and Tt, what percent of the offspring will be tall?
What is 75%?
All living things on Earth use a form of respiration to create this important "energy" molecule
What is ATP?
