🗑
what does prokaryote mean?   cells without a nucleus  
🗑
what does eukaryote mean?   cells with a nucleus  
🗑
do both prokaryotes and eukaryotes have DNA even though they both dont have a nucleus?   yes  
🗑
what part of the cell is semipermeable (lets some things through an others not)   cell membrane or nuclear membrane  
🗑
what is a producer   an organism that makes its own food  
🗑
what are the 3 parts of an atom?   proton, neutron, electron  
🗑
which type of cell transport requires energy?   active  
🗑
what is osmosis?   the passive transport of water from high concentration to low concentration.  
🗑
does the cell have to use energy to do osmosis?   no it is passive transport  
🗑
which type of cell has cell walls?   plant cells  
🗑
what are chromosomes made out of?   DNA  
🗑
what are the only human cells that are haploid?   sex cells- sperm and egg  
🗑
how many pairs of chromosomes do humans have?   23  
🗑
what do you call the individual letters that you put into a punnet square?   alleles  
🗑
what do you call 2 alleles together?   the genotype  
🗑
what do you call the physical appearance of an organism?   the phenotype  
🗑
what is the genotype?   the genetic make up of the organism  
🗑
in a punnet square a capital letter means the allele is...   dominant  
🗑
how do you show homozygous recessive alleles   both alleles are lower case  
🗑
how do you show heterozygous alleles   one allele is capital and one is lower case  
🗑
what does it mean to be nonliving   it never lived and doesn't have cells  
🗑
give an example of something that is nonliving   rocks, fire, sunlight, water  
🗑
what does it mean to be dead?   it was alive at one time and had cells  
🗑
what is a population?   organisms of one type that live together and can reproduce  
🗑
what is a community?   many species that live together in a specific area  
🗑
what is a niche?   the role an organism plays in its environment- how much it eats, how many babies it has, where it lives etc  
🗑
what is a limiting factor?   anything that restricts the growth of a population  
🗑
what is the purpose of photosynthesis?   for plants to take light energy and turn it into sugar (which is their food)  
🗑
what do plants need to do photosynthesis?   carbon dioxide and water  
🗑
what are the products of photosynthesis?   glucose and oxygen  
🗑
what is a consumer?   an organism that cannot make its own food but has to eat food  
🗑
what is a food web?   many food chains linked together  
🗑
what is an estuary?   an area where freshwater meets saltwater; they are very fertile areas  
🗑
name two freshwater ecosystems?   lakes, ponds, rivers, streams, swamps  
🗑
what is succession?   when the land grows back from a disturbance over time  
🗑
which type of succession has to start from rock?   primary  
🗑
which type of succession happens when soil is still left behind?   secondary  
🗑
what is a biome/ecosystem?   a large geographic area that has similar climate and temperature- it includes the living and NONliving factors  
🗑
what biome is ohio in?   temperate deciduous forest  
🗑
how are plant cells different from animal cells?   cell wall, large central vacuole, cell plate during division, do not have centrioles  
🗑
what is the carbon cycle?   the way carbon (carbon dioxide) flows through the Earth. (people/animals breath it out and plants take it in)  
🗑
what is asexual reproduction?   involves 1 parent, makes offspring quickly, makes offspring that are identical to the parent  
🗑
what is an advantage of sexual reproduction?   genetic diversity- could have resistance for diseases  
🗑
what is an organelle?   a part of a cell like the mitochondria or ribosome  
🗑
cells make up...   tissues  
🗑
tissues make up...   organs  
🗑
organs make up...   organ systems  
🗑
organelles make up...   cells  
🗑
many populations are   a community  
🗑

🗑
the entire part of earth that has life is known as the   biosphere  
🗑


   

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.
