Vocabulary (Biology)
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Energy | The ability to work |
| Photosynthesis | A chemical process that changes carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates |
| Producers | Photosynthetic organisms produce molecules, which have energy in the chemical bonds that hold them together |
| Biomass | Bio= Living; Mass= Matter Organic matter in an ecosystem |
| Autotroph | Cells that make/produce their own food, they are also called self-feeders. Auto= Self; Troph= Food |
| Consumer | Organisms that eat other organisms Ex. Cow eats grass |
| Heterotroph | Hetero= Different Eating different foods Ex. Cow eats grass and dandelions |
| Herbivores | Animals that only eat plants |
| Primary Consumers | First level consumers Ex. Deer, Mice, Rabbits |
| Secondary Consumers | Organisms that eat the consumer that eat the producer Ex. Wolves, Spiders, Snakes, Hawks |
| Carnivores | Animals that eat meat |
| Tertiary Consumers | Organisms that eat secondary consumers Ex. Sharks, Pelicans, Polar Bear, Barracudas (Killer Fish), and Orcas. |
| Omnivores | Eat both plants and animals Ex. Humans, Some Monkeys/ Gorillas, etc. |
| Decomposers | Organisms that eat other organisms' body when decomposing |
| Photosynthesis | When plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into sugar |
| Cellular Respiration | Chemical process that uses oxygen to make chemical energy stored in organic molecules |
| Trophic Level | Feeding Level in an Ecosystem |
| Food Chain | A way of food that transfers from one trophic level to another |
| Detrius | Waste and remains of dead organisms |
| Food Web | A pattern of feeding organisms in different ways |
| Primary Productivity | Rate at which an ecosystem build biomass |
| Energy Pyramid | Diagram showing energy loss in one trophic level to the next |
| Biomass Pyramid | Diagram showing biomass in each trophic level |
| Pyramid Of Numbers | Representation of each organism on each trophic level |
| Kinetic Energy | Energy of motion |
| Calorie | Amount of energy required to raise tempeture |
| Potential Energy | Energy stored due to an objects situation |
| Thermal Energy | Total amount of energy moving around in random movement of atoms and molecules in the same matter |
| Chemical Energy | Able to do work due to the number of atoms within molecules |
| ATP (Definition and Diagram) | Main energy source used for most of their work |
| Mitochondria | The powerhouse of the cell |
| Aerobic | Requiring Oxygen |
| Eletron Transpot Chain | Electron carriers that transfer electrons and release energy during cellular respiration |
| Metabolism | All of the cells chemical process |
| Glycolysis | The splitting of half of a glucose molecule |
| Krebs Cycle | The stage of cellular respiration |
| ATP Synthase | Protein structure in cell mitochondria that uses energy to convert ADP to ATP |
| Fermentation | Cellular process of making ATP without oxygen |
| Anaerobic | Without oxygen |
| Chloroplast | This is found in plant cells and it's were photosynthesis is made |
| Chlorophyll | The pigment that turns chloroplast in a green color |
| Stroma | Thick fluid containing the inner membrane of a chloroplast |
| Thylakoid | Disk- shaped sac in the stroma in the chloroplast, this is were light reactions of photosynthesis happens |
| Light Reactions | Chemical reaction that convert the suns energy into a chemical energy |
| Calvin Cycle | Cycle in plants that makes sugar from carbon dioxide |
| Wavelenght | Distance between adjacent waves |
| Electromagnetic Spectrum | Many types of electromagnetic energy from gamma waves to radio waves |
| Pigment | Determines the substances color |
