| What is meant by “life science”? What are possible sub-fields of study? Why is it important to all people. | The study of all living things is life science. The possible sub-fields of study are biochemist, zoologist, teacher, and dentist. This is important to other people because it gives them more information about yourself.

| What are the differences in the three types of microscopes? | They scan in different ways. One bounces electrons off of it, the other passes electrons through it, and the last one sends electromagnets through it to create images. They are compound light, scanning, transmission electron.

||||
| What is the International System of Units, or Metric System? | The International System of Units is the Metric System. It is used by most scientists and almost all countries.
🗑
|
||||
| What are the characteristics of all living things? | The characteristics of all living things are that they have one or more cells, sense and respond to change, reproduce, have DNA, use energy, and grow and develop.
🗑
|
||||
| What are the differences between eukaryotes and prokaryotes? | Eukaryotes have a nucleus, more than one cell, larger size, has organelles. Prokaryotes do not have a nucleus, have only one cell, smaller size, does not have organelles.
🗑
|
||||
| What are the differences between plant and animal cells? | The differences between the plant and animal cells are that plant cells have a large central vacuole, a cell wall, chloroplast.
🗑
|
||||
| What are the parts of the cell called and what is the purpose of each part? | The parts of the cell is called cell membrane, ribosomes, vacuoles/lysosomes, nucleus, and r/s endoplasmic reticulum. The purpose of each part is different, because some dispose of waste or control all of the cell’s activities.
🗑
|
||||
| Why does a cell need energy and what form does that energy need to be? | A cell needs energy because it is used to do the cell’s activities. The energy needs to be in the form of ATP.

| What is cell theory and what does it mean? | The cell theory is 1) all cells come from existing cells. 2) All organisms are made up of one or more cells. 3) The cell is the basic unit of all living things. It means that each scientist observed this and called it a cell. (Pg. 61)

||||
| What is sexual versus asexual reproduction? | Sexual reproduction is when 2 parents produce offspring that share their characteristics through this. Asexual reproduction is when a single parent produces offspring identical to the parent through this.
🗑
|
||||
| What is active transport, and what are some examples? | Active transport is the movement of substances across a cell membrane using energy by the cell. Examples of active transport is when the sodium–potassium pump uses energy to move sodium and potassium ions against their concentration gradients.
🗑
|
||||
| What is a consumer and a producer? | A consumer is an organism that eats other organisms or organic matter. A producer is an organism that can make its own food by using energy from its surroundings.
🗑
|
||||
| What is the difference between photosynthesis and cellular respiration? | The difference between photosynthesis and cellular respiration are that C.R. uses oxygen from lungs to bring to cell and it happens in the mitochondria and P. uses energy from the sun and it happens in chloroplast.
🗑
|
||||
| What is the benefit of being a larger organism over a very small organism? | The benefit of being a larger organism than a small organism are 1) larger size 2) longer life 3) specialization 4) Not many predators.

|
||||
| What are the steps of cell division and what is that process called? | The steps of cell division are Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase. This is called Mitosis.
🗑
|
||||
| What are the levels of organization beginning with the single cell and going up to organism? | Cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, organisms
