Question
Answer
Life is organized in the manner   atoms molecules cells tissues organs organ systemsorganismpopulationscommunitiesecosystems  
🗑
Structure   is the way something is put together and function is the job that the structure performs. These two concepts are interrelated  
🗑
Unicellular   organisms carry out all of the functions necessary for the organism to stay alive within a single cell.  
🗑
Multicellular   organisms are composed of many specialized cells that work together to help the organism survive  
🗑
Autotrophs (producers)   are organisms that can make their own food, they are also known as producers  
🗑
Heterotrophs(consumers)   cannot make their own food so they must eat other organisms, they are known as consumers.  
🗑
Homeostasis   is the attempt of the body or a cell to maintain a constant internal environment  
🗑
feedback mechanism   is a response of an organism to a given change.  
🗑
The function of the cell membrane   is to control what substances come into and out of the cell  
🗑
cell wall   outside the cell membrane whose function is to shape and support the cell.  
🗑
The nucleus of a cell   directs all of the cell's activities  
🗑
DNA   is the genetic material of the cell and it is found in the nucleus.  
🗑
Mitochondria   are organelles that produce most of the energy the cell needs to carry out its functions.  
🗑
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)   is an organelle that carries proteins and other materials from one part of the cell to another.  
🗑
Ribosomes   are organelles that produce proteins inside of a cell.  
🗑
Chloroplast   is an organelle found only in plant cells that captures energy from sunlight and uses it to produce food for the cell  
🗑
Vacuole   is an organelle that is a storage area of the cell.  
🗑
prokaryotes   Bacteria cells are called ______ because they do not have a nucleus.  
🗑
Eukaryotes   are cells that contain a nucleus  
🗑
heredity.   The process by which traits are passed on from parent to offspring  
🗑
Asexual reproduction   is a reproductive process that involves only one parent and in this process the offspring is identical to the parent  
🗑
photosynthesis   During ________ cells capture energy from sunlight and use to produce food  
🗑
CO2 + H2O  C6H12O6 + O2   is the equation for photosynthesis  
🗑
respiration,   During respiration, cells break down glucose to produce energy that is needed to function  
🗑
adaptations   Many animal body structures are _____that help the animal to survive in its habitat.  
🗑
invertebrate   is an animal without a backbone  
🗑
vertebrate   is an animal with a backbone  
🗑
ecosystem.   All of the living and nonliving things that interact in a particular area  
🗑
biotic factors   The living parts of an ecosystem  
🗑
abiotic factors.   nonliving parts of an ecosystem  
🗑
habitat   things an organism needs to live, grow, and reproduce  
🗑
population.   All the members of one species in a particular area  
🗑
community.   All the different populations that live together in an area  
🗑
limiting factor   environmental factor that prevents a population from increasing  
🗑
Decomposers   obtain energy by breaking down waste and the remains of dead organisms.  
🗑
Food chains   show the flow of energy from organism to organism. In general energy flows from producers to consumers to decomposers in an ecosystem  
🗑
Food chains   show the flow of energy from organism to organism. In general energy flows from producers to consumers to decomposers in an ecosystem  
🗑
primary consumer   is an organism that consumes producers  
🗑
secondary consumer   is an organism that feeds on primary consumers  
🗑
tertiary consumer   is an organism that feeds on secondary consumers  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
