Biology L-Z

Front 1

Lungs

Back 1

Deffinition- Oragans in rib cage that trnsports oxgen to blood, and relases CO2.

Application- inhalers: open airways and allow oxygen to enter lungs.

Analogy- lungs:oxygen

Trees : CO2

*lungs take in oxygen and trees take in CO2*

Front 2

Mitochondria

Back 2

Deffintion- Organelle in most cells that complete cellular respirartion and create cells energy.

Application- Drug trails

Analogy- Mitochondria: ATP

generator : electricity

*The mitochondria makes ATP and generators create electricity*

Front 3

Nerve

Back 3

Deffintion- fibers in body that transmit singles to brain, and spinal cord.

Application- local anesthectic- blocks nerve endings from sending signals to brain

Analogy- Nerve : Pain

Clock: Alarm

*Nerves alert the body with pain and clocks alert the body with an alarm*

Front 4

Osmosis

Back 4

Defffintion- Ficilated diffusion through water

Application- Preserving fruits and meats

Analogy Osmosis: Water

Toll booth: Cars

*Osmosis allows water to pass through a barrier and toll booths allow cars to pass through gate*

Front 5

Photosytheises

Back 5

Deffintion-process in which green plants use water, sunight, and CO2 to create their own engery

Application- A new type of car the is being tested. It uses photosynthesis to turn CO2 into car fuel.

Analogy- photosynthesis : energy

Savings account : Money

*Photosynthesis stores energy and a savings account stores money for later *

Front 6

Recessive allele

Back 6

Deffintion- A trait that gets masked by a domainante allel

Application- Predictions of the genotypes and phenotypes of offspring

Recessive allele: Dominate

Mask: superhero

*A recessive allele is hidden by a dominate allele and a superhero is hidden by a mask.*

Front 7

Skeletal system

Back 7

deffinition- The stucture of the human body including bones and connective tissues

Applications- Knowledge of bones allows doctors to heal bones by placing them in casts

Analogy- skeletal system : organisms

coat hanger : clothes

*Skeletal systems provide structure for organisms, and coat hangers provide structure for clothes. *

Front 8

Transpiration

Back 8

Deffintion- The process in which plants absorb water through the roots, and release water vapor through the leaves.

Applications- Hydroponics to grow plants in cities without excess to nutrient rich soil.

Analogy -Transpiration : roots

Drinking : straw

*transpiration requires absorbing water through roots and drinking can be done by sucking up water threw a straw. *

Front 9

Unicelluar

Back 9

Deffintion- Oragnisms that are single-celled

Applications- probiotic bacteria to treat yeast infections

Analogy- unicellular: person

multicellular: team

*unicellular organisms like a single person and multicellular organisms are like a team*

Front 10

Vein

Back 10

Deffintion- tubes that carry oxegen rich blood to heart

Applications- intravenous medications

Analogy- Veins:heart

Arteries: Tissues

*Veins carry blood to heart and arteries carry blood to tissues.*

Front 11

water

Back 11

Deffiition- Made of hydrogen and Oxegen and formed from covelent bonds.

Applications- Used in hydropower

Analogy-Water : Fish

Oxygen : Humans

*Fish require water to breath and humans require Oxygen to breath*

Front 12

X-Chromosome

Back 12

Deffinition- Female sex chromosome

Applications- detect genetic disorders

Analogies- X-chromosomes : Females

y- chromosomes: Males

Front 13

Y- Chromosome

Back 13

Deffinition- male sex chromosome

Application- mapping probability of sex-liked traits

Analogies- y-chromosomes : genetics

Wales : marine biologists

Front 14

Zygote

Back 14

Deffinition- ferilzed eggs

Application- Fertilizing frozen eggs

Analogy- Zygote: Human

Seeds: Plants
