Question
Answer
enzymes   proteins that speed up chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy. controls the rate at which food is broken down in our body  
🗑
lipids (fat)   biomolecule used for energy and insulation  
🗑
enzymes   directly control the rate at which food is broken down  
🗑
pseudopod   structure in ameoba used for movement by cytoplasmic streaming  
🗑
organic molecules such as carbohydrates, proteins and lipids   contain carbon  
🗑
negative chemotaxis   moving away from a harmful chemical  
🗑
activation site   the part of the enzyme substrate complex where the enzyme binds with the substrate  
🗑
passive immunity   when an individual receives pre made antibodies. example mother passing immunity to baby through breast milk.  
🗑
kidney   used in complex animals to remove excess water and nitrogen  
🗑
xylem and phloem   transport structure in plants similar to the blood vessels in humans  
🗑
contractile vacuole   structure in protist used to excrete excess water, similar to the excretory system in humans.  
🗑
lungs and moist skin   allow for respiration on land  
🗑
transpiration   how plants move excess water and oxygen out of their leaves, similar to respiration in animals  
🗑
guard cells   cells that surround the stoma and prevent excess water loss by closing the stoma  
🗑
endoskeleton   skeleton that grows with the organism allows organism to reach a much larger size  
🗑
exoskeleton   protective outer structure that must be shed each time the organism grows  
🗑
gills   allow for respiration under water  
🗑
nonvascular plants   must use diffusion to get materials into and out of cells  
🗑
cilia   hair like structures that allow single cell organism to move  
🗑
eyespot   structurs in euglenas that allow them to detect light  
🗑
small intestine   Structure used for absorption of nutrients long in length, projections to increase surface area  
🗑
diffusion   what microorganism use for transport since there is no circulatory system present  
🗑
salivary amalayse   enzyme in the mouth that dissovles food so we can taste it  
🗑
contractile vacuole   allows unicellular organims to excrete excess water so they don't explode  
🗑
antiviral   medicine that slows down the rate at which a virus can replicate so decrease the length of the disease  
🗑
active immunity   immunty in which the organims must make their own antibodies, last a life time. examples are vaccines and getting sick  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
