Question
Answer
Process   An event, action, or changes that bring about a result - example digestion  
🗑
Photosynthesis (Fotosíntesis)   The conversion of sunlight into chemical energy (sugar) in plants and some protists  
🗑
Reproduce (Reprodúzcase)   To create new off spring  
🗑
Classify (clasificar)   To put into groups according to similarities and differences, traits, characteristics, and properties  
🗑
Germinate (germinacion)   When a dormant seed starts to grow, 30,000 year old seeds have been germinated!  
🗑
Conifer, evergreen (Conífera)   Plants that have needles instead of leaves - stay green all year  
🗑
Structure (Estructura)   Any part of a plant, animal, or object  
🗑
Roots (Raíces)   The structures in a plant that anchor it to the ground and absorb nutrients and water  
🗑
Stem   The plant part that supports the leaves and provides a highway for the movement of water and nutrients  
🗑
Leaves (hojas)   The part of a plant where most photosynthesis occurs  
🗑
Sepal (sépalo)   Just below the flower petals, the sepals protect the flower before it opens  
🗑
Petal (pétalo)   The "pretty" part of a flower - attracts insects  
🗑
Stamen (estambre)   The male part of a flower- easy to remember because of the "men," produces pollen which contains the sperm  
🗑
Pistil (pistilo)   The female part of a flower, generally in the center  
🗑
Ovary (ovario)   The place in a plant where fertilization takes place and the seeds develop  
🗑
Kingdom   The most general or broad category of the classification system developed by Carolus Linnaeus  
🗑
Animalia   One of the 5 kingdoms, these organisms eat to get energy  
🗑
Invertebrate   Organisms without backbones  
🗑
Vertebrate, scientific name chordata   Organisms with backbones  
🗑
Moneran   One of the 5 kingdoms, microscopic, uni-cellular (one cell), bacteria, reproduce asexually  
🗑
Protista   A kingdom of microscopic organisms that can have characteristics of both plants and/or animals- examples amoeba & paramcia  
🗑
Fungi   One of the 5 kingdoms, gathers energy from the item it grows on, is a decomposer, reproduces with spores  
🗑
Examples of the fungi kingdom, that are decomposers, reproduces with spores   Mushroom, Mold, Yeast, Slime Mold  
🗑
Plantae   One of the 5 kingdoms, producers that use Chlorophyll to convert sunlight into chemical energy (sugar)  
🗑
Vascular   Plants that have a "drinking straw," or well developed water transport system, therefore they can grow tall- examples ferns, grasses, trees  
🗑
Non-vascular   Plants that do not have a "drinking straw," or well developed water transport system, therefore they are very low to the ground - examples mosses, liverworts  
🗑
American Dogwood   The state tree of VA, Cornus Florida  
🗑
Pitcher Plant Venus Fly Trap   Carnivorous plants that catch insects as well as get nutrients from the soil  
🗑
Fern (helechos) horsetail (colas de caballo)   A vascular plant that reproduces with spores  
🗑
Moss (musgos)   A non-vascular plant that reproduces with spores  
🗑
Liverwort   A non-vascular plant found in wet environments and reproduces with spores  
🗑
Chlorophyll (Clorofila)   The chemical in plants that converts sunlight to chemical energy (sugars)  
🗑
Pollen (polen)   Formed on the stamen, contains the sperm cells  
🗑
Sperm (Esperma)   Male reproductive cell found in the pollen of plants  
🗑
Dormant (Inactivo)   Like hibernation, inactive, but alive - seeds can be dormant for 30,000 years and still germinate  
🗑
Deciduous   Plants that drop their leaves in the fall  
🗑
Spore (esporangios)   Reproductive cells of ferns, mosses, liverworts, mushrooms, mold, and yeast - reproduction does not require a male and female - the spore is both  
🗑
Unicellular   Made up of only one cell  
🗑
Organism (Organismo)   An individual living thing.  
🗑
Chloroplasts   Cell part that contains Chlorophyll that turns sunlight into food/ energy, mostly located in plant leaves  
🗑
What is the name of the chemical inside of chloroplasts that turn light into energy?   Chlorophyll  
🗑
Response   The ability to react to changes in surroundings  
🗑
Respiration   Converting stored food (sugars) into energy  
🗑
What is a species? (especie)   The narrowest group in the classification system of living things  
🗑
Describe what harmful fungi can do to you?   They can cause diseases or allergies, examples athlete's foot  
🗑
What are the 5 types of vertebrates? (vertrados)   Fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals  
🗑
Name 2 types of invertebrates (invertrados)   Sponges, anthropods  
🗑
What helpful fungi can do for you and the world?   They can be used to make medicine, penicillin comes from bread mold!  
🗑
Why do scientists classify living things?   Scientists classify living things to help them understand how they might be related and to make it easier to study them.  
🗑
How do scientists classify living things?   Scientists classify living things by looking at similarities and differences in functions and structures.  
🗑
The study of classification is called what?   Taxonomy  
🗑
What are the seven levels of in which all living things are classified?   Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species  
🗑
Can two organisms in the same family be in different kingdoms?   No Copyright © 2012 S Gissendanner Free for personal and classroom use  
🗑
