BIOLOGY MT Flashcards
solvent molecules pass through a membrane from less concentrated to more concentrated solution
OSMOSIS
ratio of solutes to water
OSMOLARITY
unit of osmolarity
MILLIOSMOLES/LIT
maintain constant condition
REGULATE
adjust according to surrounding
CONFORM
response to abiotic factors when it comes to temperature
THERMOREGULATOR
THERMOCONFORMER
response to abiotic factors when it comes to osmolarity
OSMOREGULATOR
OSMOCONFORMER
can regulate constant condition and maintain body temperature
THERMOREGULATOR
what temperature is being maintained
37 CELCIUS
adjusts temperature accoridng to environment temperature
THERMOCONFORM
can regulate constant osmolarity and maintain normal osmolarity
OSMOREGULATORS
osmolarity depends on environments
OSMOCONFORM
what is the passive diffusion of ions?
HIGH TO LOW
what is active transport of water ( when water is moving in )
LOW TO HIGH
excess water
HYPOTONIC URINE
absorption of ions is done by?
CHLORIDE CELLS
has backbone except hogfish
VERTEBRATES ( OSMOREGULATORS )
has no backbones except hogfish
INVERTEBRATES ( OSMOCONFORMERS )
freshwater fish , saltwater fish , humans
OSMOREGULATORS
match their body’s osmolarity to their environment
OSMOCONFORMERS
lobsters, starfish , some sharks
OSMOCONFORMERS
produces saliva where mechanical mastication of food takes place to form bolus
MOUTH
a muscular tube that conduct peristalsis and serves as passageway of food
ESOPHAGUS
produces bile that helps in the digestion of fats
LIVER
helps to digest fat
BILE
helps in the storage of extra bile and discharging from the cystic dust
GALL BLADDER
also produces enzymes , digestion of protein and starch
PANCREAS
tube that contains villi which absorbs nutrients and water coming from the food
SMALL INTESTINE
a tube that absorbs water and salts from the material
LARGE INTESTINE
determines what kind of feces
LARGE INTESTINE
an opening that eliminates feces inside the body
ANUS
what is the digestive process
- INGESTION
- DIGESTION
- ABSORPTION
- ELIMINATION
animals that live on the source of their food and eat through it
SUBSTRATE FEEDERS
give example of substrate feeder
CATERPILLAR
aquatic animals that strain the food particles from the water
FILTER FEEDERS
an example of filter feeders
WHALES
animals that suck fluid containing nutrients from another animals
FLUID FEEDERS
an example of fluid feeder
MOSQUITOS LEECHES
animals that break down and swallow large amount of food
BULK FEEDER
example of bulk feeder
HUMANS LIONS
what is the required nutrients of animal nutrition
CARBOHYDRATES

PROTEINS
what is the essential nutrients of animal nutrition
AMINO ACIDS
FATTY FATS
VITAMINS
MINERALS
building blocks of protein
AMINO ACIDS
polymer of fats
FATTY FATS
process by which light energy is converted chemical energy
PHOTOSYNTHESIS
it absorbs and transports water and nutrients from the soil to the rest of the plant
ROOTS
part of plant where photosynthesis takes place
LEAVES
contains chlorophyll that traps sunlight
CHLOROPLAST
insect eating plants capture and digest their preys through pitfalls and traps n
TRAPPING MECHANISM
gives sweet odor to make their prey fall into the pitcher
PITCHER PLANT
closes down and traps their prey when touched
VENUS FLYTRAP
confuses their prey when they enter traps window in the leaf
COBRA LILY
collects rainwater to attract their prey
YELLOWM PITCHER PLANT
using its sticky substances found in their leaves
SUNDEW
nutrients are being used
NUTRITION
primary source of energy
CARBOHYDRATES
help to heal the damaged cells
PROTEINS
secondary source of energy
FATS
