Bio Test One: Characteristics Of Living Things Flashcards
Living Things Are Made Up Of Basic Units Called
Cells
Living Things Are Based On A Universal Genetic
Code
Living Things Grow, Develop, And
Reproduce
Living Things Respond To Their As They Mature
Environment
Living Things Maintain A Stable
Tempurature Environment
Living Things Obtain And Use Materials And
Energy
The Genetic Molecule Common To All Living Things Is
DNA
The Internal Process Of Enables Living Things To Survive Changing Conditions
HomeoStasis
Living Things Are Capable Of Responding To Different Types Of
Stimuli
Living Things Have A Long History Of Change
Evolutionary
The Continuation Of Life Depends On Both And
Asexual Sexual Reproduction
The Combination Of Chemical Reactions That Make Up And Organism’s Help To Organize Raw Materials Into Living Matter
MetaBolIsm
Cellular Basis Of Life
Living Things Are Made Of Cells
Information And Heredity
Living Things Are Based On A Universal Genetic Code Written In A Molecule Called DNA
Matter And Energy
Life Requires Matter That Provides Raw Materials, Nutrients, And Energy
Growth, Development, And Reproduction
All Living Things Reproduce
HomeoStasis
Living Things Maintain A Relatively Stable Internal Environment
Evolution
Taken As A Group, Living Things Evolve, Linked To A Common Origin
Structure And Function
Each Major Group Of Organisms Has Evolved Structures That Make Particular Functions Possible
Unity And Diversity Of Life
All Living Things Are Fundamentally Similar At The Molecular Level
Independence In Nature
All Forms Of Life On Earth Are Connected Into A Biosphere - A Living Planet
Science As A Way Of Knowing
Science Is Not Just A List Of Facts But A Way Of Knowing. The Job Of Science Is To Use Observations, Questions, And Experiments To Explain The Natural World In Terms Of Natural Forces And Events
Things That Living Things Must Have
Grows Feeds Provides Life For More Living Things Reproduce Reproduce Some Sort Of Respiration HomeoStasis Repair Excretion Response To Environment DNA Cells Develops Produces Energy Food
What Is Life
Life Cannot Be Defined By One Sentence
Properties Of Life
Organization Evolutionary Adaptation Response To The Environment Regulation Energy Processing Reproduction Growth And Development Genetic Code
Organization
BioSphere Ecosystem Community Population Species Organsim Organs And Organ Systems Tissues Cells Organelles Molecules
BioSphere
Living Planet
EcoSystem
Is Itself Abiotic But Contains Biotic Things All The Abiotic And Biotic Things In An Area
Community
Different Groups Of Species In An Area Habitat
Cells
The Smallest Structural And Functional Unit Living Of An Organism
Organelles
Any Number Of Organized Or Specialized Structures Within A Cell MitoChondrion Nucleus
Molecule
A Group Of Atoms Bonded Together, Representing The Smallest Fundamental Unit Of A Chemical Compound That Can Take Part In A Chemical Reaction
Three Main Forms Of Cells
All Cells Share Certain Characteristics
All Enclosed By Membrane
Use DNA As Genetic Info
Eukaryotic Contain Various Membrane Enclosed Organelles And Other Internal Membranes
ProkaRyotic
Contain Only CytoPlasm, DNA And Ribosomes Within The Cell Membrane
Eukaryotic
Contain Various Membrane Enclosed Organelles And Other Internal Membranes
ProkaRyotic
Contain Only CytoPlasm, DNA And Ribosomes Within The Cell Membrane Single Celled
Evolution
Accounts For Life’S Unity And Diversity
The History OF Life Is A Saga
How Species Change Over Time
Diversity Is A HallMark Of Life
Response To The Environment
Every Organism Interacts With It’s Environment
Both Organism And Environment Are Affected By The Interactions Between Them
Response To The Environment
Response To The Environment
Every Organism Interacts With It’s Environment
Both Organism And Environment Are Affected By The Interactions Between Them
Genetic Code
Cells Contain Chromosomes Made Partly Of Dna The Substance Of Genes
DNA Programs The Cells Production Of Proteins That Transmits Information From Parents to OffSpring
DNA
A Molecular Structure OF DNA Accounts For It Information Rich Nature Deoxyribonucleic acid, a self-replicating material present in nearly all living organisms as the main constituent of chromosomes It is the carrier of genetic information
Regulation And HomeoStasis
MainTain A Stable Environment
All Organsims Expend Energy To MainTain A Consisten Internal Environment Regardless Of Changes In External Conditions This Process Is Called HomeoStasis
Metabolism Energy Conversion
The Activities Of Life Require Organisms To Perform Work Which Depends On An Energy Source
Energy Flows From SunLight To Producers To Consumers
The Exchange Of Energy Between An Organism And It’s Surroundings Often Involves The Transformation Of One Form Of Energy To Another
Energy Flows Through An EcoSystem Usually Entering As SunLight And Exiting As Heat
All Living Things Begin As A Single Cell Which Grows And Develops Sometimes Multiplying And Differenciating Into A MultiCellular Individual That May Continue Throughout It’s LifeTime
All Organisms Produce New Similar Organisms In A Process Called Reproduction Some Organisms Produce Sexually Others Produce ASexually
Growth Development And Reproduction
All Living Things Begin As A Single Cell Which Grows And Develops Sometimes Multiplying And Differenciating Into A MultiCellular Individual That May Continue Throughout It’s LifeTime
All Organisms Produce New Similar Organisms In A Process Called Reproduction Some Organisms Produce Sexually Others Produce ASexually
Taxonomy
Is The Branch Of Biology That Names And Classifies Species According To A System Of Broader And Broader Groups
Life Is Classified Into Three Domains
Bacteria Single Celled
Archaea Ancient But Fairly Recently Discovered Lives Where We DidN’T Think It Could Live In Extreme Conditions
Eukarya The Only Domain That Has Organisms That HAs Cells That Have A Nucleus
Domain Bacteria And Domain Archaea
Consists Or Prokaryotes
Domain Eukarya, The Eukaryotes
Includes The Various Protist Kingdoms And The Kingdoms PlanTae, Fungi, And Animalia
Plantae
The Taxonomic KingDom Consisting Of All Living Or Extinct Plants
Fungi
Plural Form Of Fungus Any of a group of unicellular, multicellular, or syncytial spore-producing organisms feeding on organic matter, including molds, yeast, mushrooms, and toadstools
Animalia
Animals Are MultiCellular SingleCellular EukaRyotic Organisms Of The Kingdom Animalia All animals are motile, meaning they can move spontaneously and independently at some point in their lives
ProkaRyote
A microscopic single-celled organism that has neither a distinct nucleus with a membrane nor other specialized organelles Prokaryotes include the bacteria and cyanobacteria
Bacteria
ProkaRyote Single Celled UniCellular Organisms W/O A Nucleus Archaea EuBacteria
