biotic   features of the environment that are alive or were once alive.  
🗑
scientific method   procedures used to solve problems and answer questions.  
🗑
carbon cycle   model describing how carbon molecules move between the living and nonliving world.  
🗑
water cycle   model describing how water moves from earths surface to the atmosphere and back to the surface again.  
🗑
organelles   structure in the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell can act as a storage site, process energy, move materials, or manufacture substances.  
🗑
climate   average weather conditions of an area over time.

cell membrane   protective outer covering of all cells that regulates the interactions between the cell and the environment.  
🗑
cytoplasm   constantly moving gel like mixture inside the cell membrane  
🗑
mitochondria   cell organelle that breaks down food and releases energy  
🗑
chloroplast   green, chlorophyll containing, plant cell organelle that uses light energy to produce sugar from carbon dioxide.

🗑
haploid   cell that has half the numbers of chromosomes as body cells,  
🗑
chromosome   structure in a cells nucleus that contains hereditary material  
🗑
cellular respiration   process by which producers and consumers release stored energy from food molecules; series of chemical reactions used to release energy stored in food molecules.  
🗑
diploid   cell whose similar chromosomes occur in pairs  
🗑
meiosis   reproductive process that produces 4 haploid sex cells from one diploid cell and ensures offspring will have the same nnumber of chromosomes as the parent.  
🗑


   

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.
