Biology
What is the study of living organisms?
* An efficient way to store food energy
* Made up of fatty acids
*Do not dissolve well in water
What are lipids?
This type of tissues is responsible for sending signals to and from all parts of the body.
What is nerve tissue?
A tennis net is similar to this type of cell membrane
What is semipermeable?
A semipermeable cell member is similar to a door.
What is false?
Consisting of a single cell
What is unicelluar?
* Main source of food energy for most animals
* Made from carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen
*Include sugars and starches
What are carbohydrates?
This type of tissue provides movement.
What is muscle tissue?
Viruses cannot do this, which is a criterion for life.
What is reproduce?
Saprophytes get their nourishment from dead organisms.
What is true?
Consisting of more than one cell
What is multicellular?
* Involved in nearly every reaction that supports life
*Primarily make up muscle and other organs
* Made up of amino acids
What are proteins?
These are the 4 types of tissue in the human body.
What are epithelial, muscle, connective, and nerve?
Each membrane-surrounded "room" is able to maintain specific conditions to do designated job in this type of cell.
What is eukaryotic?
Plant roots are responsible for food storage.
What is true?
Animals with backbones
What are vertebrates?
* Most complex molecules of life
* Involved in the creation, repair, and reproduction of proteins
*Made up of nucleotides
What are nucleic acids?
The cells of this tissue are found in the skin and around organs. They work together to form protective barriers.
What is epithelial tissue?
The 3 major functions of roots
What are they absorb water and nutrients, anchor/support the plant, and store food?
The 4 chemicals of life are proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids.
What is true?
Organisms that obtain their nourishment from dead organisms
What are saprophytes?
This nucleic acid is made up of only one strand of nucleotides.
What is RNA?
This tissue is the most diverse. It is designed to link parts of the body connecting bones to bones and bones to muscles.
What is connective tissue?
The 3 major functions of plant stem (p 322)
What are support and produce leaves, conduct water and nutrients to and from leaves and roots, and undergo photosynthesis?
The umbrella shape of a mushroom is the largest part of the organism's body.
What is false?
