Cells
This is the basic unit of life. Contains organelles.
This is a model that shows the network of feeding relationships and the flow of energy and matter between organisms in an ecosystem.
The type of reproduction that produces identical offspring
What is asexual reproduction?
The process by which individuals are better suited to a particular environment have a better chance of surviving and reproducing.
Made up of tissues, this is specialized for particular body functions in multicellular organisms
What is an organ?
This is an organism that makes its own food.
What is a producer (autotroph)?
A change in the DNA sequence of a gene. Can alter the structure and function of the resulting proteins, leading to a change in traits.
What are traits?
This organelle produces ATP during cell respiration. It is known as the powerhouse of the cell
What is the mitochondria?
The living components of an ecosystem.
What is Biotic?
Different forms of the same gene.
What is an allele?
The ability for an organism to survive and reproduce.
What is fitness?
This body system is known for structure and support, it is made up of cartilage, bones, and tendons.
What is the skeletal system?
Organisms that break down dead plant and animal matter, and recycle the nutrients back into the ecosystem
What is a decomposer?
Units of heredity located on chromosomes, responsible for the inheritance of specific traits.
What are genes?
The process by which different kinds of living organisms are thought to have developed and diversified from earlier forms of life during the history of earth
What is evolution?
This semipermeable organelle forms the boundary of the cell, which controls what goes in and out of the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
The variety of life in the world or particular ecosystem. Essential for a healthy ecosystem.
Differences in genetic traits among individuals. This results from different chromosomes and genes inherited from parents during sexual reproduction
The breeding of plants and animals to produce desirable traits under human guidance.
