| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| chloroplasts | organelle in plant that makes food for the plant by absorbing sunlight |
| organelles | in plant and animal cells they perform different tasks in the cell, from creating proteins to storing waste |
| respiration | way a plant or animal uses oxygen to chemically combine w/ food molecules to create ATP (energy) |
| microscope | used to look at very small object you can't see with the naked eye |
| photosynthesis | process by which plants make food from light and carbon dioxide in the chloroplasts |
| mitochondria | organelle that makes ATP in cell that is used for energy |
| digestive system | (8 parts) the way the body takes in food and converts it to a form the cells of the body can use |
| respiratory system | (6 parts) the bodies way of taking in air and getting the oxygen into the blood and finally cells |
| excretory system | (4 parts) the system that is responsible for eliminating waste from the body |
| genes | parts of DNA molecule that controls specific traits of a person. |
| dominant genes | genes passed down to offspring that when paired w/ recessive genes are expressed ie. hair color, eye color |
| recessive genes | genes passed down to offspring that must be paired together to be expressed. If paired w/ dominant gene they will not be expressed |
| heterozygous | different allells for the same gene ex. Br bl for hair color; |
| homozygous | the same allells for the same gene ex. Br Br; bl bl |
| mitosis | process of cell division starting w/ copying DNA in nucleus progressing to a full split of cell |
| homeostasis | plant or animals way of adjusting internal or external conditions to maintain a balance |
