Biology Terms
The basic unit of biology. Living things are made up of these.
Cells
This muscle coverts the top and outside of the shoulder.
What is the deltiod?
This is the force that attracts objects to each other based on their mass. Its why apples fall down.
This subatomic particle is negatively charged, found in a cloud around the nucleus of the atom, and even powers this laptop!
What is an electron?
This is the process by which a seen beings to grow. It needs water, warmth, and prefers to have soil.
What is germination?
Plants perform this process in which they take carbon dioxide in and give off oxygen.
Photosynthesis
This muscle is a flexor muscle that contracts to pull the arm up into a closed position.
What is a bicep?
This is similar to speed, but in a specific direction.
What is velocity?
Examples include solids, liquids, gasses, and plasmas.
What are states of matter?
This term describes a plant that completes its entire growth cycle in a single year.
What is an annual?
These are tiny units inside of the cell, they perform a variety of functions. (Hint: they sound like something similar that we have)
Organelles
This muscle works to open the elbow after it has been closed. It is an extensor muscle. (It extends the arm)
This is a change in velocity (or speed).
What is acceleration?
This term describes a process by which one or more substances are converted into different substances.
What is a reaction?
This term describes the flat, green portion of a leaf.
Blade
This long molecule contains the information required to make all of the parts of an organism. (Ours has 3 billion base pairs).
What is DNA?
This type of muscle is responsible for large, voluntary movements. We use them for moving, eating, and standing.
What are skeletal muscles?
These can be either inelastic (like two billiard balls bouncing off of each other) or elastic (like two rubber balls doing the same).
What are collisions?
This term describes an element that decays and breaks down into other elements.
The process by which a cutting is taken of a plant, and used to regrow an entire plant.
What is cloning?
The powerhouse of the cell. It produces energy within the cell by burning sugars.
Mitochondria
This type of muscle controls involuntary motions, like the blood vessels, intestines, and the lungs.
What are smooth muscles?
This is a change in acceleration. (Hint: it also means a sudden movement, or a rude person.)
What is jerk?
This term describes atoms of an element that have different weights due to containing different numbers of Neutrons.
A plant derived from a cultivated variety that has originated and persisted under cultivation, this explains why all the fruits and vegetables look and taste so similar.
What is a cultivar?
