| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Budding | occurs when a small part of the parent’s body develops into an independent organism |
| Fragmentation | occurs when an organism breaks into two or more parts, each of which may grow into a separate individual |
| Asexual Reproduction | reproduction of cells from a single parent cell |
| Sexual Reproduction | reproduction of cells from two parent cells |
| Vertebrate | organisms distinguished by the possession of a backbone or spinal column |
| Invertebrate | organisms that do not have a backbone or spinal column |
| Endotherm | an animal that cannot control its body temperature |
| Ectotherm | an animal that has the ability to control its body temperature |
| Bilateral Symmetry | having symmetrical halves |
| Radial Symmetry | Symmetry around a central axis |
| Asymmetry | lacking symmetrical halves |
| Gills | an organ specialized to breathe in water |
| Tube Feet | an extension that functions in movement and feeding |
| Lungs | an internal organ specialized in breathing air |
| Multicellular | an organism made up of number of cells that are specialized for different functions |
| Eukaryotic | cells that contain a nucleus |
| Xylem | vascular plant tissue consisting of mainly dead cells that move water and minerals upward from the root to the rest of the plant |
| Stomata | a microscopic pore in the leaves and stems that allows gas exchange between the environment and the plants |
| Phototropism | a type of growth movement of plant organs toward light or away from it |
| Phloem | the vascular tissue that transports food (sugar) throughout a plant |
| Non-vascular | plants that are low-growing and do not have roots. They obtain water and materials directly from their environment. |
| Geotropism | a directed plant growth response to gravity |
| Leaves | captures the suns energy and carries out photosynthesis |
| Transpiration | the evaporative loss of water from a plant |
| Vascular | pertaining to organs and tissues that conduct fluid |
| Stem | carries substances between the roots and the leaves, supports the plant, and holds the leaves up to the sun |
| Root | the organ responsible for anchoring the plant in the soil, absorbing water and producing hormones |
| Tentacles | a slender flexible limb or appendage in an animal, especially around the mouth of an invertebrate, used for grasping, moving about, or bearing sense organs |
| Internal Fertilization | the release of sperm directly into the female reproductive tract |
| External Fertilization | in an aquatic environment, animals can bring their gametes together by simply releasing them into the water |
| Larvae | the active immature form of an insect, especially one that differs greatly from the adult and forms the stage between egg and pupa |
| Pupa | an insect in its inactive immature form between larva and adult |
| Nymph | an immature form of an insect that does not change greatly as it grows |
| Adult | a person who is fully grown or developed |
