Question
Answer
What are the characteristics of a living thing   cellular orgainization, chemicals of life, energy use, reproduction, growth and development, response to surroundings  
🗑
What are the needs of a living thing   food, water, living space, stable internal conditions  
🗑
How do you write a scientific name   First, you write the genus and the the species. The genus should be capitalized. The name should be italicized  
🗑
What is taxonomy   The study of how living things are classified  
🗑
What are the levels of classification   domain, kingdom, phylum, classes, order, family, genera, species  
🗑
What is the difference between a stimulus and response   A stimulus is a change in an organism's surroundings, while a response is how the organism reacts to the change  
🗑
What is the difference between growth and development   Growth is getting bigger while development is the changes an organism goes through to make it more complex.  
🗑
What is the difference between a heterotroph and an autotroph   An autotroph makes its own food while a heterotroph doesn't.  
🗑
What two domains contain only Prokaryotes   Archaea and Bacteria  
🗑
What is the life cycle of an angiosperm   An angiosperm produces flowers, eggs cells and pollen grains are created in the and anthers. Pollen grains are trapped on the stigma moved by an insect. The pollen tube grows and the sperm cells move through it and fertilizes the egg cells. becomes fruit  
🗑
What structures to Amoeba, paramecium and euglena use to move   Amoeba uses pseudopods, Euglena uses flagella, and paramecium use cilia.  
🗑
What are the parts of the seed   seed coat, embryo, cotyledon  
🗑
What are the female parts of a flower   ovary, stigma, style  
🗑
What are the male parts of the flower   anther, filament  
🗑
What are the characterictics of angiosperms   produce seeds enclosed in fruit  
🗑
What is the function of fungi in the environment   decompose food, provide food, cause diseases, fight diseases  
🗑
What do fungi have in common with animals   both heterotrophs, both Eukaryotes  
🗑
What is the function of hyphae in Fungi   breaks down food  
🗑
what chemical is inside chloroplast   chlorophyll  
🗑
What are the products of photosynthesis   glucose and oxygen  
🗑
What are the reactants of photosyntheis   water and carbon dioxide  
🗑
What structure in the cell acts as a storage area for the cell   vacuole  
🗑
What is cellular respiration   when a cell releases energy in the cytoplasm and mitochondria. It is a two step process. Glucose and oxygen are used.  
🗑
What structure of the leaf allows oxygen and water vapor out and carbon dioxide out   stomata  
🗑
Why is the cuticle important to a plant   it keeps water from evaporating out of the leaves  
🗑
What structures inside a plant allow movement of materials   Xylem and Phloem  
🗑
What is the function of mitochondria   to break down food and release energy  
🗑
What is the function of the chloroplast   to capture energy from sunlight  
🗑
What are the two stages of respiration   one occurs in cytoplasm where oxygen is not involved and the second occurs in the mitochondria where oxygen is involved  
🗑
what structure releases the most amount of energy during respriation   mitochondria  
🗑
What is the Cell Theory   Three statements composed by Schwann, Virchow, and Schleiden that says all living things are made of cells, cells are basic unitsof structure and function in living things, and all cells are produced from other cells.  
🗑
What are examples of passive transport   osmosis and diffusion  
🗑
What is the difference between active transport and passive transport   Active transport recquires energy while passive transport does not  
🗑
What are examples of active transport   englufing, transport proteins  
🗑
What happens in Prophase   spindle fibers appear, nucleur membrane absorbed, centrioles move to opposite sides of the cell  
🗑
What happens in Metaphase   spindle fibers hook on to centromeers, chromatids move to center of cell  
🗑
What happens in Anaphase   Spindle fibers pull centromeers, cell pinches inward  
🗑
What happens in telophase   cell continues to pinch inward, chromatids lenghten, nucleus reforms  
🗑
How does meiosis differ from mitosis   in mitosis chromosomes duplicate, while in meiosis only half the cells are used  
🗑
Why does a reproductive cell only have half the chromosomes as a regular cell   it will meet up with another sex cell to make a full set of chromosomes  
🗑
what is cross pollination   when pollination involves two plants  
🗑
what is self pollination   when pollination involves one plant  
🗑
How do nitrogen pairs join in DNA   They are joined with the same gene some recessive, some dominant  
🗑
How do you complete a punett square   put the one combination of genes on the top and the other combo on the bottom. Fill the square in like a multiplication table  
🗑
What is the difference bewteen a gene, a chromosome, and DNA   chromosomes are made of genes, and genes are made of DNA  
🗑
What shape is DNA   a double helix  
🗑
What is the difference between a genotype and a phenotype   phenotypes are physical traits while genotypes are genetic makeups  
🗑
what is a carrier   heterozygous genotype that carries the recessive trait, but doesn't express it  
🗑
What is the difference between a purebred and a hybrid   a purebred has two dominant or two recessive genes while hybrids have one of each  
🗑
what is the genotype for a male   XY  
🗑
what is the genotype for a female   XX  
🗑

🗑
