QuestionAnswer
Organism A living thing made up of two me or more cells that can perform all the processes needed for life.
Tissue A group of similar cells that are organized to perform a specific function
Organ
Organ system A group that of organs that work together to perform body functions
What common traits would models of different unicellular organisms share? They would all have one cell with smaller parts that do different jobs within the cell
What question can a biologist ask to determine if an object is living? Is the object made up of cells?
Which structure surrounds cells? Cell membrane and cell wall
What 2 features do eukaryotes have that prokaryotes do not have?
Cardiac muscle cells Specialized for contraction. The structure of protein fibers in the cell allows it to stretch and contract
Cardiac muscle cells branch and connect to each other to form cardiac muscle tissue. Special junctions where the cells connect allow all the cells in the tissue to contract at the same time.
The heart An organ in the circulatory system. The many cells stretching and contracting together make the heart stretch and contract, pumping blood as it changes shape
Skeletal muscle tissue Made up of muscle cells organized into stretchy fibers
Nervous tissue Remember food sources
Cell The smallest unit that can be said to be alive
Paramecium An organism made up of a single cell.
Cilia Tiny hairlike structures surround the cell
Circulatory system Delivers nutrients and oxegyn to all the cells in the body. It carries carbon dioxide and other waste products away from the cells
Muscular system Moves bones causes the heart to beat and moves food through the digestive system
Respiratory system Takes in oxygen and releases carbon dioxide as we breathe
Skeletal system Supports the body protects organs allows movement and makes blood cells
Nervous system Controls body movement and coordinates communication between the brain and the environment
Digestive system Breaks down food into essential nutrients and expel solid waste from the body
Camouflage Blending into the environment
Homeostasis The process by which the inside of the body maintains stable conditions
Feedback A cycle of events in which information from one step controls or affects a previous step
Positive feedback Occurs when the body activates processes that increase or reinforced the change
Negative feedback Occurs when the body senses, a change and its internal environment and activates processes that will slow or prevent the change
Sensory receptors Help an animal gather information about its environment
Mechanical receptors Detect pressure movement and tension
Chemical receptors Detect chemical signals such as odors and tastes
Electromagnetic receptors Detect, electromagnetic radiation, such as light
Frontal lobe It’s the boss it can coordinate planning organization, behaviors, and emotions
Parietal lobe Processes sensory information related to taste temperature and touch
Temporal lobe Associated with hearing language and old factory senses
Occipital lobe Involved in their reception of visual stimuli
How much damage to the temporal lobe of the brain affect a person which receptor messages would be affected It will affect the temporal lobe messages from chemo receptors in the nose and mechanical receptors in the ears might not be processed
Behavior The set of actions taken by an organism in response to stimuli
Memory Information can be stored in the brain
Butterflies have membranes on different parts of their bodies that vibrate in response to waves in the air which type of sensory input are these membranes transmitting Sound
Which other body system works with the skeletal system to help provide movement Digestive system muscular system respiratory system
The skin is made up of several tissue types. Therefore, the snake skin is an example of a. Organ
Which of these plant body functions requires interaction between the root and shoot system Getting water to all parts of the plant, moving nutrients throughout the plant
Spiracles Outside air through paired holes in the insects body segments
Trachea Insect exchange gases with their environment through internal air tubes called
Zoology The study of animals
Nervous tissue Functions as a messaging system
Epithelial tissue Protect informed boundaries and is found in Oregon such as skin
Connective tissue Including bones and blood holds part of the body together and provides support
Muscle tissue Provides movement
