Biology Chapter 1 Flashcards
What are the two forms of reproduction?
Asexual and Sexual
body parts that perform a specific function for the organism, several organs may cooperate in an organ system; levels in life
- Organs and Organ Systems
all the environments on Earth and that support life, number in levels of life
- Biosphere
all the organisms living in a particular area, plus non living factors with which life interacts, such as soil, water, and light; number in levels of Life
- Ecosystem.
all the organisms living in a particular ecosystem; levels in life
- Community
a membrane-enclosed functional structure in a cell with specific functions; levels of Life
- Organelles
Biology
The scientific study of life
all the individuals of a particular species living within a specific area; levels in life
- Population
a chemical structure consisting of two or more units called atoms; levels of Life number
- Molecule
can absorb the materials can circulate the materials and releasing the materials
Transport
an individual living thing; levels in life
- Organism
two organisms that produce offspring that is unique
Sexual reproduction
What are the eight things living things need to carry out?
Nutrition, Transport, Respiration, Reproduction, Regulation, Excretion, Synthesis, Growth.
a group of similar cells performing a specific function; levels in life
- Tissue
living entities distinguished from their environment by a membrane; levels of Life
- Cells
the process by which the energy from food is released into usable form
Respiration
The process where you increase in size
Growth
one organism produces offspring EXACTLY the same as themselves
Asexual reproduction
Photosynthetic organisms provide food
Producers
the process by which living things produce offspring
Reproduction
Organisms that eat plants or animals that profit from plants
Consumers
the process you go through to maintain stable internal conditions
Regulation
What are the two things an ecosystem need to accomplish in order to be successful?
- Recycle chemicals (CO2, O2, H2O) within the ecosystem.
2. Move energy (chemical and light) through the ecosystem.
When wastes are removed from organisms
Excretion
