        Help!  

Term
Definition
STIMULUS   Action or condition that provokes a response.  
🗑
RESPONSE   Change in a system resulting from a stimulus.  
🗑
HOMEOSTASIS   Tendency of an organism or cell to maintain a balanced state so as to maintain health and function.  
🗑
PATHOGEN   Microorganism or virus that can cause disease.  
🗑
FIGHT-OR-FLIGHT   Short-term physiological changes in response to stress that prepare the body for intense activity to avoid harm.  
🗑
TROPISM   Turning or bending movement of living organisms toward or away from an external stimulus, such as light, gravity, touch, water, etc.  
🗑
PHOTOTROPISM   Response of a plant to grow toward or away from light.  
🗑
GRAVITROPISM/ GEOTROPISM   Plant’s growth in response to the force exerted upon it by gravity.  
🗑
FORCE   Push or pull that can change the motion of an object.  
🗑
MOTION   Change in an object's position with respect to time & in comparison to the position of other objects used as reference points.  
🗑
GERMINATION   Process by which a plant grows from a seed, a.k.a. seedling emergence.  
🗑
VACUOLE   Organelle in cell cytoplasm; functions to store water, nutrients, & wastes; 1 large central unit in plant cells, several small units in animal cells.  
🗑
TURGOR PRESSURE   Force of water molecules against the cell wall that allows plants to stand up straight; "turg = swollen."  
🗑
TROPISM   Turning of all or part of an organism in a particular direction in response to an external stimulus, e.g. gravity, light, water, touch, heat, etc.  
🗑
PHOTOTROPISM   Orientation of a plant or other organism in response to light, either toward or away from the source of light; "photo = light."  
🗑
HYDROTROPISM   Growth or turning of plant roots toward or away from moisture; "hydro = water."  
🗑
GEOTROPISM/ GRAVITROPISM   Plant’s growth in response to the force exerted upon it by gravity; "geo = earth" & "gravi = gravity."  
🗑
WILT   Become limp or droopy due to heat, loss of water, or disease.  
🗑
TURGID   State of plant cells when their vacuoles are filled with water, causing the plant leaves to stand upright; "turg = swollen."  
🗑
BLOOD   Liquid that circulates through the body carrying nutrients, oxygen, & waste products.  
🗑
HEART   Muscular organ that pumps blood through the circulatory system.  
🗑
BLOOD VESSELS   Structures that carry blood through the tissues & organs in a body; veins & arteries.  
🗑
CIRCULATION   Movement around something, especially that of fluid in a closed system; "circ = ring."  
🗑
BLOOD PRESSURE   Pressure of blood in the circulatory system; measured for diagnosis due to close relation to the force & rate of the heartbeat.  
🗑


   

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.
