Unit 2: Prokaryotes

Unit 2 checkpoint Biology study set for TVMSC

QuestionAnswer
What are the 5 characteristics of life? Cellular Orginization, Reproduction, Energy/Metabolism, Responsivness, and Growth and Development
What are all living things made up of? All living things have one or more cells.
What are the two types of cells? Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cells.
What is Prokaryotic cell? Bacteria or archaea with no membrane bound organelles.
What is a Eukaryotic cell? Not Bacteria or archaea with membrane bound organelles.
What is all life involved with? All life is involved with reproducing.
What does it take for a species to survive? Genetic materials must be passed on
What are the two types of reproduction? Asexual (Genetically Identical offspring) and Sexual (Geneticaly unique offspring).
What is ATP? Adenosine Triphosphate.
What are the primary sources of energy for organisms? Sunlight and Inorganic chemicals.
What must life both Adapt to and react to? The environment both long term and immediately
What is a stimulus? A stimulus is anything that causes a reaction in a cell, tissue, or organ
What are some examples of stimulus that require immediate response? Hand on hot stove, breathing, etc.
What are some examples of stimulus that would cause a response resulting in a populations's adaptation? Soot on trees making the trees darker, global warming changing how our bodies deal with hear, etc.
What is homeostasis? Homeostasis is an organism's ability to maintain stable INTERNAL conditions
What is responsiveness or adaptation? Responsiveness or adaptation is when the response to a stimulus is varied in a population and a certain responses increase survival over other types of responses
What is growth and Development? growth and development is when an organism gets larger and matures
What are some examples of Growth and Development? Some examples include butterflies inside a cacoon, tadpoles turning into a frog, etc.
How do you define if something is living? If an organisms has all five characteristics of life it's classified as a living organism
What are the types of life? Bacteria, Fungus, Protist, Animals, and Plants
What is the difference between abiotic factors and biotic factors? Biotic factors are any living being, abiotic factors is anything nonliving
What are some examples of abiotic factors? Rocks, water, etc.
What are some examples of biotic factors? Animals, plants, bacteria, etc.
What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic? Anaerobic is when an organisms doesn't use oxygen for metabolic purposes, aerobic is when an organism does use oxygen for metabolic purposes
What are some examples of anaerobic species? Some bacteria at the bottom of the Mariana trench use nitrogen instead of oxygen.
What is the difference between prokaryotes and Eukaryotes? Eukaryotes have a nucleus, prokaryotes don't
What are some similarities between the two sides? They both have DNA, a cell membrane, Ribosomes, Cytoplasm and sometimes a cell wall
What are the three types of prokaryotic bacteria cells? Coccus (Spherical), Spirillum, and Bacillus (Rod
What are some of the differences between the animal cells and the plant cells Unlike animal cells, plant cells have a cell wall. Plant cells also have a large vacuole, animal cells also have one of these but they're smaller. Animal cells have one more mitochondria than plant cells do.
