Made up of a number of organs working together

What is highest level of organization

Organism

Evolution.

A theory regarding the process thay we have produced the biological diversity

Natural selection.

Process by which the traits that promote the ability to survive and reproduce are passed onto following generations

Adaption

Best suited for their environment survive and is passed on

Taxonomy

The study of scientific classification

Main levels of classification

Kingdoms, phylum, class, orde4, family, genus, species

Subdivision of level of kingdon

Animal, plants, monera, protest, fungi

Plasma membrane

Controls the entry and exit from the cell

Active transport

Involves the use of energy in form of atp to move across the membrane

Passive transport

Does not require energy to make use of diffusion and filtration

Diffusion

Moving from regions of high to low concentrate

Osmosis

Water moves from high to low until equal

Isotonic

When solute concentrate of the water is same

Hypertonic

When solute is more concentrated outside of cell . Shrivel

Hypertonic

When solute concentrate outside of cell is lower. Blows up

Filtration

The movement of water and solute through the membrane by pressure

2 division that make up trophic level

Autorophs and heterotrophs

Autorophs

Organisms that helps produce their own food from inorganic substances

Heterotrophs

Obtain their food by consuming plants or other animals

Primary consumers maybe

Herbivores

Secondary consumers maybe

Carnivores or omnivores

Tertiary consumers are

Carnivores that eat other carnivores and omnivores

Herbivores

Plant eaters

Omnivores

Plant and meat eaters

Carnivore

Meat eater

Food chain

The path which food is transferred from one level to next

Food Web

The interrelationship of many food chains

Decomposers

Consume non living organic material and release inorganic material

2 factors that affect ecosystem

Biotic and abiotic

Abiotic

Living parts of ecosystem

Abiotic

Non living influences of ecosystem

Predator

Organisms that feed on other organisms to survive

Prey

Animals hunted

Symbiosis

Separate species living together

Parasitism

One species benefits and one species is harmed

Commensalisma

One species benefits and one unaffected

Mutual isms

Both species benefit

Biosphere

Entire portion of our planet that is inhabited by living this on a variety of ecosystem and communities

All organisms obtain the organic substances they need by:

Auto trophic or heterotrophic

Photosynthesis

Carbon dioxide + water + light energy to carbohydrates + oxygen

Chrolophyll

Absorbs light energy for photosynthesis

Cuticle

Waxy layer on stem and leaves that helps prevent water loss

Stomates

Pored that allows carbon dioxide to enter and oxygen to be released
