Char. of Life
The seven characteristics of living things
What is made of cells, contains DNA (genetic material), reproduces, uses energy (metabolism), grows and develops, responds to stimuli (environment), and maintains homeostasis.
What is the centrosome
The body systems that work together to support a runner during a marathon.
What are the cardiovascular system, respiratory system, muscular system, nervous system.
The molecule that acts as a catalyst and speeds up chemical reactions.
What is an enzyme.
The smallest unit of LIFE
What is a cell
The difference between AUTOTROPH and HETEROTROPH
What ingests food and what makes its own
The organelles present in only plant cells.
What are the cell wall, the large central vacuole, and plastids (chloroplast).
The body system that includes structures like the heart and blood vessels.
What is the cardiovascular system/circulatory system
The suffix of most enzymes (what the names usually end with)
What is “-ase”
The definition of a community
All populations in a defined area (only living things)
On a hot day, humans begin to sweat as a way of cooling down the core of the body.
What is homeostasis/response to stimuli
The type of cell that is an autotroph.
What is a plant cell
The body system that controls both voluntary and involuntary movements and contains the brain, nerves, spinal cord, etc.
What is the nervous system
The enzyme brings ____ closer to the active site
what is the substrate
A group of cells with a similar function
What is a tissue
A sudden bright light causes pupils to dilate and you to squint.
What is response to stimui
The type of cell that is a heterotroph.
What is an animal cell.
The body system’s response to high altitude
What is, AMS (Acute Mountain Sickness) as well as the nervous system, cardiovascular system, muscular system, and respiratory system work together to increase heart rate, breathing, and creation of red blood cells and capillaries.
The two examples of how an enzyme lowers activation energy
What is, bringing the substrate closer to the active site and slightly stretching the substrate to fit a certain position.
The definition of a population
A group of ONE type of organism.
Examples of maintaining homeostasis within an organism
Regulating body temperature, water percentage, amount of oxygenated blood cells, etc.
The type of cell that pinches and forms a cleavage furrow during cytokinesis.
What is an animal cell
The reason high altitude causes changes in the body.
The induced fit model describes this about enzymatic activity.
What is, that both the enzyme and substrate change shape when fit together (they go back to their usual shape after the reaction occurs)
All living and nonliving things in a defined area
What is an ecosystem
