What is life?/Class.

Bio H. Unit 1

QuestionAnswer
____ is the study of living things biology
Life is defined by characteristics like: cells, organization, reproduction, growth and development, response to environment, energy use, adaptation
All living the things are made up of ___. cells
The structure of living things is related to their ______. function
one celled organisms (ex. bacteria) unicellular
organisms made up of multiple cells (ex. humans) multicellular
Living things organize ___ at different levels cells
cells join together to create tissue
tissue joins together to create organs
organs join together to create systems
Atoms join together to create molecules
molecules join together to create organic compounds
organic compounds join together to create cell organelles
cell organelles join together to create cells
organ systems join together to create an organism
Organisms join together to create populations
populations join together to create communities
communities join together to create ecosystems
ecosystems join together to create biome
biomes join together to create the biosphere
All living things____ reproduce
Organic compounds are composed of carbs, proteins, lipids, and nuclei acid
tiny organs found in the cell (i.e nucleus) cell organelles
a group of organisms that belong to the same species and breed population
different populations that live together community
many populations that live together in larger geographical area Ecosystem
a large community (ex. Wetlands) Biome
5 stage life span includes: birth, growth, maturation, decline, and death
making and putting together of living material biosynthesis
all the changes an organism undergoes as it matures development
any change in an organism that allows it to better survive its environment Adaptation
Organisms must adapt or die
an organism's ability to respond (to adapt) irritability
Living things use energy to grow
total of all chemical reactions in a living organism metabolism
the science of classification taxonomy
scientists who classify or organize organism taxonomists
Father of biological classification Carl Lenneaus
1st to classify; grouped animals into 3 sections based on where they lived Aristotle
invented Binomial Nomenclature Carl Lenneaus
7 Classification levels: Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species
Some characteristics for classifying things into different groups: number of cells, how it moves, how it reproduces, how it gets energy,cellular chemistry
The first word in bionomial nomenclature is the ___ genus
the second word in binomial nomenclature is the____ species
are all one-celled; does NOT have a nucleaus Prokaryot
____ has no nuclear membrane prokaryot
Has no organized organelles prokaryot
has a nucleus; DNA enclosed in a nuclear membrane; has organelles Eukaryot
1st Eukaryots were ____ protists
things that make their own food autotrophs
things that have to eat food to gain energy heterotrophs
to get energy from chemicals chemosynthesis
to get energy from the sun photosynthesis
1st organisms to live archae bacteria
Things that don't need oxygen to live are ____ anaerobic
bacteria that are single-celled; prokaryotic; autotrophic; live in extreme environments; chemosynthetic Archaebacteria
organisms that live in high salinity halophiles
organisms that live in extreme heat thermophiles
organisms that live in high acidity acidophiles
singled-celled prokaryotic bacteria; autotrophic or heterotrophic; some are pathogens but some are helpful Eubacteria
single-celled or simple multicellular; 1st eukaryots; autotrophic ot heterotrophic protista
amoebas, paramicium, and euglena are all examples of protista
the one kingdom from which all other kingdoms evolved protista
single-celled or multicellular; eukaryots; heterotrophic; break down materials int he environment fungi
an example of a single-celled fungus is yeast
all fungi are heterotrophs
"supreme decomposers" fungi
All Living Things Need: carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, sodium, phosphorus, sulfur, calcium, magnesium, and potassium
complex, multicellular, eukaryotic, autotrophic; make their own food through photosynthesis plantae
respiration takes in oxygen and breaks down sugar
complex, multicellular, heterotrophic, obtain food by ingesting it animalia
