5 basic characteristics of all living things

1.they need energy


2.respond and adapt to the environment


3.reproduce


4.grow


5.produce waste

magnification

MAG=OC x OB


total magnification=ocular lens x objective lens

levels of organization from smallest to largest

cell,tissue,organ,system

organ

-specific part of the body that preforms one main function, heart

cell

-basic unit of every living organism


-smallest thing scientists consider alive


-specialized cells that preform a specific function

tissue

-made up of groups of cells which work together to preform a function, skin

unicellar

-one cell organism


-small


-increases its size by growing


-single not complex


-4 types are: amoeba, paramecium, algae and bacteria


-must live in a watery environment


-paramecium-use cilia to get food


-amoeba-use pseudopods


-algae-food from sun


-bacteria-millions of different species

multicellular

-multi cell organism


-large


-increases its size by splitting


-complex system of cells


-there are different types of cells to do different jobs


advantages to having a multi cellular cell to a unicellular cell


-can be varied due to having specialized cells and can do more things, like walking


-can not only grow larger but also live in a wider variety of environments


-they both have the same sized cells, just multicellular cells have more

-carry blood away from heart


-biggest vesicle


-carries oxygen (red)


-thick muscular vessels that carry blood away from the heart


-deliver oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the body tissues

capillaries

-the smallest blood vessels


-release oxygen from blood cells


-take in waste and carbon dioxide before moving into veins

alveoli

-balloon-like structures where the oxygen exchange in the lungs takes place

veins

-thinner-walled vessels that have valves so that blood does not flow backwards


-takes oxygenated blood back to heart (blue)

hypothalamus
