| all organisms __________ to power there cells | energy |
| organisms must __________ to create offspring that are similar to the parent or parents | reproduce |
| three parts of cell theory | all living things are made of cells, cells are the basic units of life, and all cells come from pre exciting celles |
| 4 needs of all living things | food, water,shelter, oxygen |
| unicellular | organisms made of 1 cell |
| multicellular | orgainisms with multiple cells |
| cell membrame | the organelle that lets materials pass into the cell but keeps other materials out |
| cell wall | the organelle in plant cells that protects and supports it |
| ribosome | the organelle that produce protien |
| cytoplasm | gel like substance that hold most organelles in place |
| chloroplast | the organelle that uses sunlight to produce food for plants |
| mitochondria | the organelle which breaks down sugars in food to release the energy they contain |
| nucleas | the organelle that directs all cells activites |
| levels of orgianization | cell, tissue, organ and organ system |
| cell | basic unit of structure and function in a living thg |
| tissue | groups of similar cells that perform the same function |
| organ | body structure of different kinds of tissues that work together |
| organ system | groups of organs that work together performing major functions in the body |
| cellular respiration | the process cells use to break down glucose and other food molecules to release energy |
| skeletal system | supports the body protects internal organ, allows movement, store minerals, and produces blood cells |
| excertory system | reloves and filters liquid waste products from the body |
| digestive system | breaks down food, absorbs nutrients and removes waste |
| nervous system | controls the bodys responses to changes within the body and outside it |
| respiritory system | brings oxygen needed by cells, remove carbon dioxide from the bosy |
| circulatory system | transports oxygen, nutrients and fights infections and helps regulate body temp |
| muscular system | with the skelaltet system produce movement, helps circulate blood and move food thro the digestive system |
| photosynthesis equation | 6CO2+ 6H2O=C6H12O6+ 6O2 |
| raw materials of photosynthesis | carbon dioxide and water |
| products of photosynthesis | glucose and oxygen |
| photosynthesis takes place in the __________ of the plant cell | chloroplast |

| biotic | living or once living part of a habitat |
| abiotic | non-living part of a habitat |
| organism | a living thing |
| Population | all the embers of one species living in the same area |
| community | all the different populations that live together in the same area |
| ecosystem | the community of organisms that live in the same area, along with their non-living environment |
| producer | makes there own food |
| consumer | eat other organisms |
| decomposers | breaks down dead stuff |
| energy | to do work or cause change |
| force | a push or pull exerted on an object |
| work | force exerted on an object that causes it to move |
| force unit | newtons |
| distance units | meter |
| work units | joules |
| kinetic energy units | joules |
| mass units | kilograms |
| speed units | meters per second |
| potential energy | the energy an object has due to its position |
| 2 type of potential energy | gravitational, elastic |
| electrical energy | the energy of electrical changes |
| thermal energy | total, kinetic and potential of particles in an object |
| heat | the transfer of thermal energy from a warmer object to a cooler object |
| heat moves from ________ objects to ____________ objects | hotter, colder |
| conductor | a material that conducts heat well |
| insulator | a material that doesn't conduct heat well |
| motion | the state in which one object distance from another is changing |
| reference point | a place or object used for comparison to determine if an object is in motion, (it should be stationary) |
| net force | the overall force on an object when all the indivisual forces acting up on it are added together |
| unbalanced forces | forces that produce a nonzero net force, which changes an objects motion |
| acceleration | the rate at which velocity is changiing |
| velocity | speed in given direction |
| balanced forces | equal forces acting on an object in opposite directions which does not change an objects motion |
| speed | the distance an object travels per unit of time |
| inertia | the tendency of an object to resist a change in motion |
| mass | the amount of matter in an object |
| action forces | forces exerted on an object |
| reaction forces | equal forces exerted back on the object in the opposite direction |
| momentum | the characteristic of a moving object that is related to the mass and the velocity of an object |
| newtons 1 law | an object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force |
| newtons 2 law | Acceleration of an object will depend on the mass as well as the force acting up on the object |
| newtons 3 law | if one object exerts a force on another object, then the second object will excertort a force of equal strength in the opposite direction on the first object, in other words for every action there will be a equal and opposite reaction |
