| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What are Producers? | an organism that can make its own food by using energy from its surroundings. |
| What are Consumers? | an organism that eats other organisms or organic matter. |
| What are Decomposers? | an organism that gets energy by breaking down dead remains of other organism, or animal waste and consuming or absorbing the nutrients. |
| What are carbohydrates? | a class of energy giving nutrients that include sugars, fibers, and starches. |
| What is protein? | a molecule that is made up of amino acids and that is needed to rebuild and repair body structures and to regulate body processes. |
| What are lipids? | biochemical that cannot mix with water. Example: Fats and steroids. |
| Phospholipids are... | a structural component in cell membranes. |
| Nucleic Acids are... | a molecule made of subunits called nucleotides. |
| Nucleic Acids are known as the blueprints of life. Why? | They contain all the information needed for a cell to make proteins. (DNA) |
| What is a Cell? | the smallest unit that can perform all life processes; cells are covered by a membrane and have DNA and cytoplasm. |
| Stimulus is... | anything that causes a reaction or change in an organism or any part of an organism. |
| Homeostasis is... | the maintenance of an internal state in a changing environment. |
| Sexual Reproduction is... | reproduction in which two sex cells from two parents unite forming offspring that shares characteristic from both parents. |
| Asexual Reproduction is... | reproduction in which one parent forms an identical offspring. |
| What is Heredity? | the passing of genetic traits firm parents to offspring. |
| The sum of all chemical processes that occur in an organism is.. | Metabolism |
| What is ATP? | Adenosine Triphosphate; a molecule that acts as a main energy source of all cells. |
| What does ATP stand for? | Adenosine Triphosphate |
| Give an example of a complex carbohydrate. | Starch, barley, maize, wheat. |
| What is a simple carbohydrate? | Carbohydrates made up of one sugar molecule or few sugar molecules? |
| How does having a place to live connect to all other necessities of life? | A proper place to live requires the efficient food needed. Water, space and air need to be sufficient as well. Without any of these needs, the habitat may not be suitable for that specific inhabitant. |
| Fats and oils are examples of what? | lipids |
| What are the subunits of proteins? | Nucleic Acids |
| describe fats | Lipids that, atrium temperature, are solid. Most lipids stored in animals are fats. |
| Describe oils | Lipids that are liquid at room temperature and are mostly stored in plants. |
| In addition to getting larger, living things... | May develop and change as they grow. |
| If a mammal gets too hot, what is its stimuli? | Sweat, the release of funds from the body. |
| Most single-celled organisms use what kind of reproduction? | Asexual |
| Most complex celled organisms use what kind of reproduction? | Sexual |
| the passing of genetic traits from parent to offspring is... | heredity |
| Deoxyribonucleic acid is also known as... | DNA |
| Protozoans are both part... (Example; Euglena) | animal and plant |
