In Italics and Genus has a capital letter at start.

Question 7

Classification?

Answer 7

The organisation of living organisms into groups, based on shared features, with the aim of reflecting evolutionary relationships.

Question 8

Species

Answer 8

A group of interbreeding organisms that produce fertile offspring.

Question 9

Hybrid

Answer 9

A sterile cross between two separate species.

Question 10

The evolutionary relationship between organisms is called?

Answer 10

Phylogeny

Question 11

What makes organisms likely to be related?

Answer 11

If they have similar base sequences in their DNA.

Question 12

What did traditional classification look at?

Answer 12

Morphology(shape/ structure) and anatomy of organisms.

Question 13

Mitochondrian(s)

A protein coat and genetic material within them. Also spikes on outside.

Question 17

Exoskeleton

Answer 17

A rigid covering for the body in some invertebrate animals, especially arthropods.

Question 18

Spores

Answer 18

A dormant, reproductive cell formed by certain organisms. They are capable of spreading and reproducing by themselves.

Dichotomous key

Question 20

Hierachy

Answer 20

Refers to the classification system we use when large groups are sub-divided into smaller and smaller groups with no overlap between the groups.

Question 21

Monocotyledons

Answer 21

These are flowering plants where the embryo has a single seed leaf and the leaves are long and thin with veins that are parallel.

Question 22

Dicotyledons

Answer 22

The flowering plant where the embryo has two seed leaves and the leaves vary greatly in shape and their veins form a large network.

Question 23

MRS GREN?

Answer 23

Movement
Respiration
Sensitivity

Growth
Reproduction
Excretion
Nutrition

Question 24

Nutrition

Answer 24

Taking in organic substances and mineral ions to provide raw materials for growth and tissue repair.
These are absorbed and assimilated.
Plants require CO2, light,water and ions.
Animals need organic material and ions and usually water.

Question 25

Movement

Answer 25

An action made by the organism or part of the organism causing a change in position or place.
We need movement as it means we can exercise to keep body fit.

Question 26

Respiration

Answer 26

The chemical reaction that breaks down nutrient molecules in living cell to release energy for metabolism.
We need respiration as it is a way that energy is released from glucose, for our cells to keep us functioning.

Question 27

Sensitivity

Answer 27

The ability to detect changes in the internal/external environment and to make the appropriate responses.
It allows living organisms to detect and react towards surroundings.

Question 28

Growth

Answer 28

The permanent increase of size and dry biomass by an increase in cell number or cell size or both.
To make room for larger organs and muscles.

Question 29

Reproduction

Answer 29

Process that make more of the same kind of organism.

It enables them to create offspring continuing their population and key to their survival.

Question 30

Community

All of the populations of all species in an ecosystem.

Question 31

Population

Answer 31

A group of organisms of 1 species, living in the same area, at the same time.

Question 32

Ecosystem

Answer 32

A unit containing the community of organisms and their environment, interacting together.

Question 33

Ecology

Answer 33

The study of living organisms in relation to their environment, and both biotic and abiotic factors can affect such an environment.

Question 34
