🗑
What is anything that causes a reaction or change in an organism or any part of an organism   stimulus  
🗑
the maintenance of a constant internal state in a changing enviroment   homeostasis  
🗑
sexual reproduction   reproduction in which the sex cells from two parent organisms unite, producing offspring that share traits from both parents  
🗑
asexual reproduction   reproduction that does not involve the union of sex cells and i whuch one parent produces ooffspring identical to itself  
🗑
What is the passing of genetic traits fom parent to offspring   heredity  
🗑
metabolism   the sum of all chemical processes that occur in an organism  
🗑
producer   an organism that can make its own food by using the energy from its surroundings  
🗑
consumer   an organism that eats other organisms or organic matter  
🗑
decomposer   an organism that gets energy by breaking down the remains of dead organisms or animal wastes and consuming or absorbing the nutrients  
🗑
proteins   molecule that is made up of amino acids and h is need to build and reapair body structres and to regulate processes in the body  
🗑
carbohydrate   class of energy giving nutrients that includes sugars, starches and fiber; contains carbon, hydrogen and oxygen  
🗑
lipid   type of biochemical that does not dissolve in water; fats and oils are lipids  
🗑
phospholipid   lipid that contains phosphorus and that is a structural component in cell membranes  
🗑
ATP   molecule that acts as the main energy source for cell processes  
🗑
nucleic acid   a molecule made up of subunits called nucleotides  
🗑
True or False: All living things are made up of cells   True  
🗑
Organisms must have food because   food is a source of energy  
🗑
Organisms strore energy in   lipids  
🗑
The subunits of nucleic acids are   nucleotides  
🗑
The sub units of proteins are   amino acids  
🗑
proteins that start or speed up chemical reactions in cells are   enzymes  
🗑
Why do all living things need air?   Becuase the need the gases in the air to perform chemical processesthat realease energy from food.  
🗑
What covers a cell?   a membrane  
🗑
What does a cell contain?   All materials necessary for life  
🗑
Why does an organism have to maintain stable internal conditions?   because if they dont they will die  
🗑
When you shiver or sweat your body is   trying to maintain a stable internal condition  
🗑
Most single cell organisms reproduce thorugh   asexual reproduction  
🗑
Most animal and plants reproduce through   sexual reproduction  
🗑
What does DNA do?   controls and structure and function of cells  
🗑
What do organisms pass on to their offspring?   copies of their DNA  
🗑
How does a single celled organism grow?   it grows by getting larger then it divides  
🗑
In addition to getting larger, living things also   develope and change  
🗑
What are four basic needs of every organism?   water, air, a place to live and food  
🗑
Cells of most living things are made of approximatelly, how much water?   70%  
🗑
Most chemical reactions involved in metabolism require   water  
🗑
About how long can a human survive without water?   3 days  
🗑
Air is a mixture of gases including, oxygen and   carbon dioxide  
🗑
What is a chemical process in which most living thing require oxygen?   releasing energy from food  
🗑
Green organisms convert energy from sunlight to energy stored in food during   photosynthesis  
🗑
What do organisms need in the place where they live?   All the things they need to survive  
🗑
What are 2 things food gives organisms?   energy and raw materials need to carry on life processes  
🗑
2 ways organisms use nutrients from food are   to replace cells and build body parts  
🗑
nutrients are made up of   molecules  
🗑
molecules made up of different kind of atoms are   compounds  
🗑
cells use carbohydrates as   a source of energy and for energy storage  
🗑
carbohydrates made of one sugar molecule or a few linked sugar molecules are called   simple carbohydrates  
🗑
a carbohhydarte made of hundreds of molecules linked together are   complex carbohydrates  
🗑


   

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.
