- What is a Heterotroph
- organisms that depend on other organisms to make their own food
- What are Autotrophs?
- organisms that make their own food. ie plants.
- What are Producers?
- organisms that produce their own food. Autotrops are producer. Ie plants are producers
- What are Consumers?
- Organisms that eat other organisms to survive. Ie carnivores
- What are Decomposers?
- Organisms that eat dead things.
- What is a Eukaryotic cell?
- A cell with a distinct nucleus. Ie animals and plants have eukaryotic cells.
- What is a Prokaryotic cell?
- Cell has no distinct, membrane-bound nucleus. Ie bacteria.
- An organism is a carnivore. Is it a producer, consumer, or decomposer?
- Consumer
- An organism is a producer. Is it a heterotroph or autotroph?
- Autotroph
- An organism is a consumer. Is it a heterotroph or autotroph?
- Heterotroph
- What is a cell wall?
- Rigid structure that encloses, supports, and protects the cells of plants, algae, fungi, and most bacteria. In planys its made of cellulose. Animals do not have a cw.
- What is a cell?
- The smallest unit of biological organization
- What is bacteria?
-
A single celled organism without a nucleus: Prokaryotic.
Bacteria comprise 2 of the 6 kingsdoms of living things: eubacteria, the most commonly found, and archebacteria found in hot enviroments only.
- What is fungi?
- One of the 6 kingdoms of living things: Multicelular eukaryotic (have a nucleus) organisms that do not produce chlorophyll, that have a cell wall, and produces spores.
- Protist
- One of the 6 kingdoms of living things consisting of single celled eukaryotic organisms only.
- What is Vascular tissue?
- A system of tubes that carry water and food throughout the plant. Plants with vascular tissue are called vascular plants.
- What are the six kingdoms of living things?
- Archaebacteria, Eubacteria, Fungi (ie mushroom, mold yeast) , Protists (ie protozoa and algae) , Plants, Animals
- What is a biosphere?
-
the part of the earth's crust, waters, and atmosphere that supports life.
2.
the ecosystem comprising the entire earth and the living organisms that inhabit it.
- What are vertebrates?
-
One of 2 groups of animals: animal kingdom members with a backbone.
There are 5 groups of vertebrates: fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals - What are angiosperm?
- flowering plants that produce seeds in fruit
- What are Gymnosperm?
- woody plants that produce seeds that are not enclosed in fruits but in cones
- What are the 6 features of life?
-
Cells
Organization
Metabolism
Energy Use
Growth
Reproduction

- What are dells?
- All living things are composed of one or more cells. Different types of cells have different "jobs" within the organism. Each life form begins from one cell, which then will split.
- What is organization?
- Complex organization patterns are found in all living organisms. They arrange themselves on very small levels, grouping like things together. On larger levels, they become visible.
- Metabolism
- All organisms use energy. This is metabolism. Autotrophs (plants) use energy from the sun for photosynthesis, to make their own "Ëœfood' (glucose). Heterotrophs (animals and humans) must ingest food for this purpose.
- What is Homeostasis?
- All organisms have stable internal conditions which must be maintained to remain alive. These include temperature, water content, etc. A certain level of energy must be kept within the body at all times.
- What is Growth?
- All organisms grow and change. Cells divide to form new, identical cells. Organisms growing, changing, and becoming more complex is called development. Single-celled organisms do grow as well, but they will only become slightly larger
- What is Reproduction?
- All organisms reproduce in order to continue the species' life. This is combining genetic information to make a new individual (sexual reproduction) or splitting into two organisms (asexual reproduction) creating an identical copy.
