| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| the scientific name for an organism comes from its | genus and species |
| the seven levels of classification , from general to specific , are | kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species |
| what can you find out by working through a dichotomous key in order? | the identity of an organism |
| the science of describing, classifying and naming organisms | taxonomy |
| an aid that is used to identify organisms and that consists of a series of paired statements | dichotomous key |
| the divison of organisms into groups or classes based on specific characteristics | classification |
| a kingdom that contains all prokaryotes except archaebacteria | eubacteria |
| a kingdom made up of complex, multicellular organisms that lack cell walls, can usually move around, and responds quickly to their enviornment | animalia |
| a kingdom of mostly one-celled eukaryotic organisms that are different from plants, anmials, bacteria, and fungi | protista |
| a kingdom of complex, multicellular oragnisms that are usually green, haveb cell walls, cannot move around, and use the sun's energy to make sugar by photosynhesis | plantae |
| a kingdom of nongreen, eukaryotic organisms that do not move, reproduce by spores, and get food from their surroundings by breaking down substances and absorbing the nutrients | fungi |
| a kingdom made up of bacteria that live in extreme environments | archaebacteria |
| they are found where other living things cannot survive | archaebacteria |
| they can live in soil,water, or in the human body | eubacteria |
| these are small, single-celled living things without nuclei | bacteria |
| the total of all of the chemical activities that the oragnism performs | metabolism |
| reproduction in which the sex cells from two parents unite,producing offspring that share traits from both parents | sexual reproduction |
| reproduction that does not involve the union of sex cells and in which one parent produces offspring identical to itself | asexual reproduction |
| the passing of one generation to the next | heredity |
| what type of molecule is DNA? | a nucleic acid |
| maintaining stable internal conditions is called | homeostasis |
| the molecule that provides energy for cellular process is | ATP |
| what is the one thing all living things can do ? | they grow and develop |
| how much of the human body is water? | about 70% |
| an oragnism that makes its own food | producer |
| an oragnism that eats other organisms or organic matter | consumer |
| an organism breaks down the remains of dead organisms or animal waste to get energy | decomposer |
| humans like you are | organisms |
| one benfit from being a large organism is that you have | fewer predators |
| the highest level of organization is the | system |
| an organ consists of | two or more tissues |
| larger size, longer life, and specialization are three advantages to being a | multicellular organism |
| where do all cells come from | cells |
| what does the golgi complex do in a cell | it packages and distributes proteins |
| what is the job of the lysosmes | they digest food particle |
| what cell parts support the cell and might be made of cellulose or chitin ? | cell wall |
| the lowest level of oragization is the | cell |
| cells that are like each other and do the same job form a | tissue |
| a structure made of two or more tissues working together is called | organ |
| a group of organs that work together from an organ | system |
| a genetic material in cells | DNA |
| where DNA ia stored | eukaryote |
| osmosis is important to cells because | cells are filled with fluids that are made mostly of water |
| one type of fermantation in muscle cells produces | lactic acid |
| photosynthesis allows | a plant to produce food |
| when water diffuses into or out of a cell it is called | osmosis |
| most complex organisms obtain energy through | cellular respiration |
| what gas is released during cellular respiration? | carbon dioxide |
| what do all organisms need to get rid of in order to live? | wastes |
| osmosis benefits plant cells by bringing in | water |
| when a human feels hungry it is because his or her cells need | energry |
