what do you call any living thing? |
organism |
|
what does SPONCH stand for? |
elements that are essential for all living things |
|
name the elements in sponch |
sulfur, phosphorus, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, hydrogen |
|
what does form follows function mean? |
shape helps to perform it job most efficiently |
|
how are prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells different |
p- no nucleus, no organelles, been around for 3.8 billion years e- has a nucleus, has organelles, been around for 1 billion years |
|
what is the phospholipid bilayer? |
makes up cell membrane |
|
what two places in the cell have a phospholipids bilayer? |
cell membrane and nucleus |
|
what does it mean that the cell membrane is selectively permeable |
only certain things can enter |
|
what is the difference between passive and active transport? |
passive transport- no energy active transport- energy required to move materials |
|
what are the two types of passive transport? |
osmosis- movement of water diffusion- movement of everything other than water |
|
passive transport goes __ with the concentration gradient. Materials flow from areas of __ concentration to areas of __ concentration until __ is reached. |
with, high, low, equilibrium |
|
what are the 5 types of active transport? |
exocytosis- moving materials out of cell endocytosis- moving materials inside of cell ---phagocytosis: taking in solids (foods) ---pinocytosis: taking in liquids ---receptor mediated endocytosis: use receptors on cell to take in materials |
|
Active transport goes __ the concentration gradient. Materials flow from areas of __ concentration to __ concentration. __ is __ reached. |
against, low, high, equilibrium, never |
|
selectively permeable |
cell membrane |
|
largest organelle in the cell |
nucleus |
|
round dark spot in nucleus |
nucleolus |
|
surrounds the nucleus |
nuclear membrane/ envelope |
|
maze-like network fused to nucleus |
E.R. |
|
attached to E.R. and makes proteins |
ribosomes |
|
where are ribosomes found in the cell? |
cytoplasm or E.R. |
|
protein packaging plant for the cell |
golgi |
|
have digestive acids/ enzymes in a sac |
lysosome |
|
microtubules provide support and shape for the cell |
cytoskeleton |
|
have stacks called thylakoids |
chloroplast |
|
large organelle that makes energy for the cell |
mitochondria |
|
how are chloroplasts and mitochondria similar? |
-both produce energy or food to break down for energy -have their own DNA -mitochondria has infoldings to increase surface area and chloroplasts have stacks to increase surface area |
|
membrane-bound sacs for storage, digestion, and waste removal |
vacuole |
|
why is respiration the opposite of photosynthesis? |
people take in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide while trees and plants take in carbon dioxide and give off oxygen |
|
name 4 functions of proteins |
structural, enzymes, transport, antibodies, hormones, contractile |
|
what is the function of sensory receptors in your body? |
nerve cells sense pain/heat/etc. --- sends message to brain --- brain sends message to body to respond |
|
abiotic and biotic factors |
abiotic- nonliving biotic- living or once living |
|
climax community |
end of succession, stability, biodiversity |
|
food webs |
arrows point to what is consuming prey/plants ex: plants--> squirrels--> coyote |
|
nitrogen fixation |
org. cannot use pure nitrogen, bacteria adds oxygen to nitrogen so living org. can use it |
|
population, community, ecosystem, biome, biosphere |
population- 1 species in an area (squirrels) community- all living org. in an area (plants, animals) ecosystem- all living and nonliving things in an area (trees, rocks, climate) biome- all similar ecosystems on Earth (rain forest, tundra) biosphere- part of Earth where life is found |
|
mutualism, commensalism, parasitism |
mutualism- both org. benefit each other commensalism- 1 benefits, 1 is unaffected parasitism- 1 benefits, 1 is harmed |
|
autotrophs, heterotrophs, decomposers |
autotrophs- org. makes own food; photosynthesis or chemosynthesis heterotrophs- consume or absorb food decomposers- bacteria and fungi break down org. to release nutrients |
