1.0 and 1.1 CER, Levels of Organization, Is It Alive Flashcards
What does CER stand for?
Claim, Evidence, and Reasoning.
How do you make a good claim?
Have an accurate answer to the question that is more than a yes or no.
How do you use good evidence?
Support your claim with a specific observation/data point.
What does good Reasoning look like?
Thoroughly explain why your evidence supports your claim and is relevant.
What is the following an example of: The dog bit the cat.
Claim
Smallest level of organization, building block of chemical element.
Atom
3rd smallest level of organization, structures that perform tasks inside of cells.
Organelle
2nd smallest level of organization, multiple atoms put together.
Molecule
From smallest to largest, what are the levels of organization?
Atom, molecule, organelle, cell, tissue, organ, organ system, organism, population, community, ecosystem, biome, biosphere.
6th smallest level of organization, a group of tissues with a similar function.
Organ
What is the following an example of: This is relevant because only the dog would have left those marks.
Reasoning
What is the following an example of: There were bite marks on the cat’s leg.
Evidence
What level of organization would circulatory, nervous, and digestive fall into?
Organ system
4th largest level of organization, all of the different populations in an area.
Community
4th smallest level of organization, the smallest unit of life.
Cell
What level of organization would bacteria, cardinal, and sycamore tree fall into?
Organsim
5th smallest level of organization, a group of cells that do a task.
Tissue
What level of organization would chloroplast, nucleus, and mitochondria fall into?
Organelle
6th largest level of organization, an individual living thing.
Organism
7th smallest level of organization, a group of organs with a similar function.
Organ system
What level of organization would heart, brain, and skin fall into?
Organ
What level of organization would hydrogen and carbon fall into?
Atom
5th largest level of organization, all of the same organisms in one area.
Population
What level of organization would muscle and connective tissue fall into?
Tissue
3rd largest level of organization, all of the populations and abiotic factors that affect them in an area.
Ecosystem
2nd largest level of organization, all of the ecosystems that make Earth.
Biome
Largest level of organization, similar ecosystems on Earth.
Biosphere
What does container mean in the PMC model of life?
It means that to be alive, you must have a membrane.
What level of organization would DNA, water and CO2 fall into?
Molecule
What level of organization would deciduous forest, tropical rainforest, and tundra fall into?
Biome
What is the PMC model of life?
Program, Metabolism, and Container.
What level of organization would prokaryote, eukaryote, and white blood cell fall into?
Cell
What level of organization would all living things in a pond and all living things in Tippecanoe fall into?
Community
What level of organization would bullfrogs in the celery bog and white tailed deer in Tippecanoe fall into?
Population
What level of organization would all living and nonliving things in lake Michigan and all living and nonliving things in a grassland fall into?
Ecosystem
What does program mean in the PMC model of life?
It means that to be living, an object must have genetic instructions to reproduce.
What level of organization would Earth fall into?
Biosphere
What does metabolism mean in the PMC model of life?
It means that to be alive, you must have a way of getting and using energy.
Why is a human alive?
Because they meet all of the requirements of the PMC model of life.
Why isn’t a rock alive?
Because it has no DNA, no way of getting and using energy, and no membrane.
