Living Organisms
Living things pass hereditary information to new organisms of the same type.
What is Reproduction?
contains genetic information (DNA)
what is the nucleus?
The process by which energy is stored in chemical bonds of organic molecules such as carbohydrates.
What is Photosynthesis?
The process by which chemical energy stored in nutrients is released for use in cells
What is respiration?
Controls all bodily functions, including movement, thought, and perception.
What is the nervous system?
The combination of all the chemical reactions used to maintain life and growth and development for living things.
What is Metabalism?
a thin structure that surround the cell. It is made up of phospholipids -mainly fats (lipids) and phosphorus- with proteins embedded throughout.
what is the cell membrane?
Light capturing molecules that carry out photosynthesis in plant cells
What is a chloroplast?
Animals obtain their energy from this molecule
What is ATP?
This body system contains the heart, arteries, vessels, and blood
What is the cardiovascular system?
Living things maintain a stable internal environment even when their external environment changes dramatically.
What is homeostasis?
rigid cell structures that line the outside of the cell membrane.
what is the cell wall?
These organelles are green in color due to the pigment
What is chlorophyll?
All living things are made up of these four elements
What is carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen?
This system aids in the breakdown of food, containing organs such as the stomach, liver, and mouth
What is the digestive system?
The breakdown of nutrients into smaller units to release chemical energy stored
What is cellular respiration?
the site of lipid synthesis
what is the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
One of the energy rich compounds is the sugar six ring carbohydrate
What is glucose?
The full name of ATP
What is adenosine tri-phosphate?
Produces and regulates hormones that influence various bodily processes, such as growth, metabolism, and reproduction.
What is the endocrine system?
Removal of waste products
What is excretion?
packages and ships proteins
what is the golgi apparatus?
Inside multiple granum stacks, these are the site of photosynthesis light reactions.
what is the thylakoid?
The chemical formula for cellular respiration
What is C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy (ATP)
Facilitates the exchange of gases between the body and the environment, providing oxygen and removing carbon dioxide.
What is the respiratory system?
