Science biology
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| How many kingdoms are there? | 5 |
| What are the 5 kingdoms? | Monera, protista, fungi, plantae, animalia |
| What are Monera? | Prokaryote, Unicellular, No chloroplast, a cell membrane, and a cell wall |
| What are Protist? | eukaryote, unicellular, no chloroplast, a cell membrane, and some do have a cell wall |
| What are fungi? | eukaryote, mostly multicellular, no chloroplast, a cell membrane, and a cell wall |
| What are Plants? | eukaryote, multicellular, a chloroplast, a cell membrane, and no cell wall |
| What are Animals? | eukaryote, multicellular, no chloroplast, a cell membrane, and a cell wall |
| Cellular respiration | the process where energy is released from an organisms food |
| How is cellular respiration made | energy rich foods + oxygen = carbon dioxide + water |
| species | a group of organisms that can potentially interbreed in nature to produce viable, fertile offspring and are reproductively isolated from other groups |
| eukaryotic | cells that have membrane-bound organelles including a true nucleus |
| prokaryotic | cells that have no membrane-bound organelles and no true nucleus |
| An Organism | A living thing |
| Unicellular | An organism made up of one cell |
| multicellular | An organism composed of many cells |
| mitochondria | Organelles found in eukaryotes and the site of cellular respiration |
| Nucleus | Contains genetic material and DNA which provides the cell the instructions for living |
| Chloroplast | site of photosynthesis (only in plants) |
| cytoplasm | The jelly-like substance that fills the cell |
| Vacuole | a membrane-bound fluid filled within a space that is used for storage, water, waste and food molecules |
| cell wall | a non living layer that surrounds the cell membrane, it provides the structure/shape for plants |
| ribosomes | site of protein production- found in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes |
| Characteristics of life | SNR GERMS sensitivity, nutrition, reproduction, growth, excretion, respiration, movement, structural organization |
| Classifications | KPCOFGS Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species |
| Levels of organisation | cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, organisms |
| Domain | Archaea, bacteria, eukarya |
| Meaning of classification | Systematic + rational grouping of organisms + ecosystems to depict the biological relationships between them |
| An example of Monera/Prokaryote | E. coli |
| An example of Animalia | mammals, etc |
| An example of Protista | euglena, amoeba |
| An example of Fungi | mushrooms |
| An example of a Plant | ferns, moss etc |
| Excretion | The process of the removal of metabolic wastes from the body of an organism. |
| Growth | The process that results in an organism increasing in size (often due to cell division). |
| Movement | The process where the whole organism or part of it changes position or orientation. |
| Nutrition | The process whereby chemicals required by an organism to maintain life are obtained. |
| Reproduction | The process whereby new organisms are produced from pre-existing ones. |
| Respiration | The process whereby food is broken down to release energy. |
| Sensitivity | The state where a response is produced due to a stimulus. (response to Stimuli) |
| Structural organization | The state where an organism has a definite structure and is made up of cells. |
| Stimulus | A change in an organism’s environment which produces a response. |
| Taxonomy | The practice of classifying organisms. |
| Function of petal | Often brightly coloured to attract pollinators |
| Function of Sepal | the green leaf life structure that protect flower bud |
| Function of the pistil | The female part of the flower made up of the stigma, style and ovary |
| Function of the ovary | contains ovules which contain the egg cells |
| stigma | collects pollen after pollination |
| Function of the stamen | the male part of the flower and consists of the anther and filament |
| Function of the Anther | where pollen is produced, pollen grains contain the male sex cells |
| Function of the filament | Holds up the anther for pollinators |
| what is the cranium? | The skull |
| What is a coastal? | The ribs |
| what is the humerus? | the upper arm bone |
| what is the vertebra? | the back bone |
| what is the phalanges? | the finger a toe bones |
| what is the pelvis? | the hip bone |
| What is the femur? | The thigh bone |
| What is the carpals? | The wrist bones |
| What is the scapula? | The shoulder bone |
