Biodiversity
members of only one species in an area.
population
the biggest factor affecting our environment is
population growth
method of cell division that is used in asexual reproduction is called
mitosis
purpose of this organelle is to control what comes into the cell and what goes out
cell membrane
two reasons why cells divide
to repair old and injured cells
for reproduction
scientific word for living thing
biotic
Factors that stop a population from growing beyond a certain point are called
limiting factors
the offspring does not have identical DNA to the parent
sexual reproduction
this organelle helps makes proteins for your body
ribosomes
metaphase
biotic and abiotic factors in an area form
ecosystem
the number of people, other living organisms, or crops that a region can support is called
carrying capacity
starfish make more of themselves through this type of reproduction
asexual reproduction
this organelle is the powerhouse of your cell- it makes energy
mitochondria
phase of mitosis in which the cell has almost finished dividing; the nuclear membrane reforms
telophase
plants growing from bare rock and eventually turning into a forest is a description of
primary succession
some of the energy taken in by organisms is not available to organisms at the top of the food chain because that energy is
lost as heat
the advantage and disadvantage of asexual reproduction
occurs very fast
all offsprings are alike
this organelle like the UPS system packages and sends materials where they need to go
golgi apparatus
the phase of mitosis in which cell begins to divide
prophase
the relationship in which one species benefits while the other doesn't benefit or gets harmed is called
commensalism
what are the characteristics of life
one or more cells, reproduction, obtain and use energy, homeostasis, growth and development
advantage and disadvantage of sexual reproduction
all the offsprings are unique
takes longer time and less offspring
Two organelles that are found in a plant cell but not in an animal cell
cell wall and chloroplast
besides mitosis which contains prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase, what are the two other parts of the cell cycle
Interphase and cytokinesis
