Human Impact
An increase in the Earth’s average surface temperature
What is Global Warming?
- a group of cells working together
What is a tissue?
What is the Nucleus?
This stores water for the cell?
What is the Vacuole?
This is located in the nucleus of every cell. It contains the instructions for reproduction in DNA. Humans have 23 pairs of them.
What are chromosomes?
Natural process; occurs when gases in the atmosphere absorb and reradiate thermal energy from the Sun
What is the Greenhouse Effect?
a group of organs working together to perform life processes.
What is an organ system?
Sugars are broken down here to provide ENERGY to the cell. Also known as the "Powerhouse" of the cell.
What are Mitochondria?
This process is when plants take water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight to produce oxygen and sugar.
What is photosynthesis?
A diagram that is used to predict the outcome of a particular cross of a breeding experiment?
What is a punnett square?
Long-term changes in climate averages?
What is climate change?
- a group of tissues working together to perform a specific body function. Each organ is made from different tissue: heart, lung, kidney.
What is an organ?
This protective barrier controls what EXITS and ENTERS the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
A rigid outer layer of a plant cell that gives plant support and structure?
What is a cell wall?
A section of our DNA that contains specific instructions for reproduction. You have about 30,000 of them. They are also called alleles. Some are dominant and some are recessive.
What are genes?
Remains of ancient organisms that can be burned as an energy source (non-renewable). When you burn them it causes the greenhouse gas effect.
What are Fossil Fuels?
a group of organ systems working together to control all life functions; a living thing.
What is an organism?
This fluid fills the cell and keeps organelles in place.
What is cytoplasm?
This contains chlorophyll which the plants use for photosynthesis.
What are chloroplasts?
This type of reproduction is when offspring inherit half of their genes from each parent.
What is Sexual reproduction?
These types of resources are infinite and are better for the environment.
What are renewable resources (solar, wind, hydroelectric, geothermal, biomass)?
A simple organism made of one cell that has to perform everything necessary to keep the organism alive. Examples: Paramecium, amoeba, bacteria, and yeast.
What is unicellular?
Three letters that represent energy in the cellular respiration process?
What is A.T.P.
Unlike animal cells, plant cells contain these two types of organelles?
What are chloroplasts and cell walls?
Offspring is an identical copy of the parent’s cell. Most plants use this type of reproduction.
What is Asexual reproduction?
