Homeostasis - ANS A state of internal balance by living organisms
Autotrophs - ANS Organisms that harness energy from sunlight and using it to produce
glucose.
Heterotrophs - ANS Organisms that receive energy by eating plants or animals.
Organelles - ANS Small structures within animal/plant cells that fulfill specialized functions.
Bacterial cells lack most organelles.
Mitochondria - ANS Breaks down glucose to provide energy to the cell
Four Basic Types of Animal Tissue - ANS Connective
Epithelial
Muscle
Nerve
Epithelial Tissue - ANS Forms many glands that line cavities. Functions include: secretion,
absorption, protection, transcellular transport
Connective Tissue - ANS Supports and binds other types of tissues
Muscular Tissue - ANS Aids in contraction and movement of the body muscles
Nervous Tissue - ANS Helps in coordination of different organs
The 11 Organ Systems of the Human Body - ANS Circulatory, Digestive, Endocrine, Excretory
Immune, Integumentary, Muscular, Nervous
Reproductive, Respiratory, and Skeletal.
Xylem - ANS Transports water throughout the plant
Phloem - ANS Innermost layer of bark which transports glucose throughout the plant
Chloroplast - ANS Organelle in plants that conduct photosynthesis
, The chemical formula for photosynthesis is: - ANS 6 CO2 + 6 H2O → C6H12O6 + 6 O2
Carbon dioxide + Water + Light energy → Glucose + Oxygen
____ ____ is the biological classification created by ____ ____. - ANS Linnaean Taxonomy
Carl Linnaeus
Modern taxonomy uses genetic analysis and comparison of physical traits to classify organisms
according to a hierarchy of taxonomic - ANS Domains, Kingdoms, Phylums,
Class, Order, Families,
Genus, Species
Eukaryotes - ANS All organisms with cells that have nuclei and membrane-bound organelles.
Four kingdoms that fit into this domain: animals, plants, protists, and fungi
Prokaryotes - ANS Neither have nuclei nor organelles with membranes. True bacteria fit in this
domain.
Archaea - ANS Microorganisms similar to bacteria but genetically different. Often found in
extreme environments.
Eggs - ANS Many laid by adult females so that at least some of them will survive.
Larva - ANS Insect larvae hatch from the eggs and bear no resemblance to their adult parents.
Eats so it can grow quickly. When growth is complete, the larva transforms into a pupa.
Pupa. - ANS The pupa stage is usually considered a resting stage, although much activity is
going on within a sealed chrysalis or cocoon. Special cells that were present in the larva are
now growing rapidly and will become the legs, wings, eyes and other parts of the adult insect.
After the reorganization is complete, the pupa splits to reveal the mature adult with functional
wings. This stage can last a few weeks, a month, or even several years.
Incomplete Metamorphosis - ANS Consists of only three life cycle stages: egg, nymph, and
adult. Nymphs are smaller versions of the adults and are wingless. Nymphs molt and have no
pupa stage.
Heredity - ANS The transmission of characteristics carried by the genetic code from one
generation to the next
Genes - ANS A sequence of DNA which code for specific functions & characteristics
Chromosomes - ANS Structures of coiled DNA
