interphase
dna copies its self
lichen
an organism that has a mutualistic relationship with fungus and algea
Secondary consumer
cannot do photosynthesis, eat primary consumers
mitochondria
releases energy, process: cellular respiration
evergreen
a tree that does not lose its leaves in the winter, and stays green all year round
sublimation
solid to gas
pistil
female part, contains the stigma, style, ovaries
condensation
gas to liquid
microscope
helped scientists develop cell theory
stimuli
allows the body to react/respond to the enviornment [heat, light, sound, vibration, odor]

heredity
passing of traits from parent to offspring
female sex cell
egg
carnivore
eats only other animals
land, water, and atmosphere
the 3 parts of the biosphere
exo-therms
fish, amphibians, reptiles

the physical apperance of an organism
metaphase
chromo's line up in middle of cell
genetics
scientific study of heredity

cell membrane
protective barrier to keep out water, controles what goes in & out of the cell, made of proteins & phospholipids, 2 layers
fruit
spreads the seeds through pollination
cytoplasm
holds organelles in place, and contains water and chemicals
saprobe
decomposer
anaphase
chromo's seperate & spindle fibers pull them toward end of cell
herbivore
eats only plants
ribsomes
makes proteins
energy
all organisms use and release
function of DNA
direct cell activities & has cell characteristics
prophase
chromo's thicken, nuc mem disappears, centrioles move to end of cell, spindle fibers form
asexual reproduction
when one organism can produce offspring by itself
habitat
the place where an organism lives
dehydration synthesis
bonding of 2 molecules by removing a molecule of water
chromosome
rod shaped structure made of DNA that becomes visible when cells begin to divide. DNA wrapped around protein
stem
has vascular tissue, provides support, holds leaves toward sun
newest rock layers
at the top
roots
absorb water & minerals, anchors the plant
energy of sublimation
absorbed
producer
make their own food by trapping sunlight & using it in photosynthesis
decomposer
break down the remains of dead organisms
food web
interconnected network of food chains
atoms
all matter is composed of
dominant
an allele that overshadows another allele
flowers
attract pollinators, hold the reproductive parts
energy of melting
absorbed
food chain
shows the simple flow of energy from one organism to another (arrows point in direction of energy flow)
hybrid
an organism that has 2 different alleles for a trait
adaptation
a trait that makes an organism better able to live in an enviornment *some are caused by mutations*
recessive
an allele that gets overshadowed by another allele
sedimentary rocks
most fossils are found in
metabolism
the process of breaking down food and converting it into energy to be used by the body
photosynthesis
how producers get their energy
regeneration
when a part of an organism breaks off and becomes a new organism
pollution
contaminates the enviornment
synthesis
taking simple stuff and building stuff that is more complex
pedigree chart
used to show alleles being passed down from one generation to the next
mutation
a change in the DNA or chromosomes of a cell. can be passed to offspring. some are harmless, some are harmful, and other are helpful
endangered
in danger of becoming extinct
oldest rock layers
at the bottom
compound
a substance composed of 2 or more elements that are chemically combined
omnivore
eats both plants and animals
reactants of photosynthesis
CO2, sunlight, and water [H2O]
chemical symbol
abbreviation of an element
leaves
do photosynthesis
Primary consumer
cannot do photosynthesis, and must obtain nutrients from other organisms (eat producers)
pyramid of numbers
most organisms at the producer level, and the fewest at the secondary consumer level
G
C
law of conservation of mass
matter cannot be created not destroyed
cotyledon
a food supply for a baby plant, which is inside the seed. stores food while it is maturing.
