Organization Levels
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Make up the most basic level of organization in living systems. | Atom |
Molecules made by living systems | Biomolecule |
A biomolecule made entirely of carbon,hydrogen, and oxygen with a 2:1 ratio of hydrogen to oxygen. | Carbohydrates |
Diverse hydrophobic biomolecules containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen | Lipids |
Reacts to stimuli and transmits signals throughout the body | Nervous tissue |
Specialized to contract and allow for movement of the body and its parts | Muscular tissue |
Lines the surface of organs and the body cavities | Epithelial Tissue |
The most widespread tissue in the body and is specialized to connect and support other tissues; connective tissue ranges from bones, to blood, to fat tissue | Connective Tissue |
What is the order of the levels of organization | Atom->molecule->cell->tissue->organ->organ system-> organism |
Are atoms and molecules living or nonliving | nonliving |
Group of organisms of the same species living in the same area | Population |
Groups of interacting populations | Community |
Both living and nonliving organisms interacting | Ecosystem |
What are the main types of biomes | Marine, Freshwater, Desert, Forest, Grassland, Tundra |
Areas of salty water, such as the ocean. Make up approximately 75% of Earth's surface. Algae and Plankton communities dominate these ecosystems as the basis of the food chain | Marine |
Biomes such as lakes and streams, are areas of water that have low salt concentrations. Dominant plant varies based on location | Freshwater |
Characterized by low levels of rainfall and low population densities. Dominant plant is cacti and drought tolerant plants. | Desert |
Dominated by trees. Sufficient rainfall. | Forest |
Dominated by grasses, do not have sufficient rainfall. | Grassland |
Temperature is very cold, arctic or alpine, tall mountain regions. Sparsely populated. Dominated byy shrubs, low-lying grasses, and smaller vegetation. | Tundra |
What are human effects on the biosphere | Population size, consumption, and technology |
As human population increases we require more resources, this leaves fewer resources. | Population size |
Humans use so many resources that they are getting to be fewer and fewer | Consumption |
Technologies, such as some that produce pollutants have a negative effect on our ecosystem. | Technology |
Smallest unit of most compounds that displays all the properties of that compound. | Molecule |
Specialized structure that performs important cellular functions within a cell. | Organelle |
Basic unit of all forms of life. | cell |
Group of similar cells that perform a particular function. | tissue |
Group of tissues that work together to perform a specific function | oragan |
Group of organs that work together to perform a specific function. | oragan system |
Group of organ systems that work together to perform a specific function. an individual animal, plant, or single-celled life form. | oragnism |
Part of Earth in which life exists including land, water, and air or atmosphere. | biosphere |
