18
Q

Chromosomes

A

Name for the collection of DNA inside cells

19
Q

Cytoskeleton

A

Consist of hollow tubes with provide support, shape, and allow movement, among other things.

20
Q

Cilia or Flagella

A

Small hair-like or whip like structures that some cells use for movement (if they move) or sensing things.

21
Q

DNA

A

A self-replicating material in nearly all living organisms as the main constituent of chromosomes.
It is the carrier of genetic information.

22
Q

Genes

A

A gene is the basic physical and functional unit of heredity. Genes are made up of DNA.

23
Q

The hierarchical organization of living things

A

atoms, molecules, organelles, cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, organism, population, community, ecosystem, biosphere

(AMOCTOOSOPCEB)

24
Q

Tissue

A

A group of cells that have similar structure, functions together, fills the spaces between the cells.

25
Q

Organ Systems

A

A biological system consisting of a group of organs that work together to perform one or more functions.

26
Q

Organelle

A

Any of a number of organized or specialized structures within a living cell.

27
Q

Cell

A

The basic structures of all living organisms

28
Q

Organ

A

A differentiated structure (such as a heart, kidney, leaf, or stem)

29
Q

Taxonomy

A

The practice and science of categorization or classification. (Organizing)

30
Q

A

Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus Species

DKPCOFGS

31
Q

What’s the differences between a domain and a kingdom?

A

A domain is a taxonomic category above the kingdom level. (Bacteria, Eukarya, Archea)
Kingdom = Animals, Fungi, Protists, Plants, Bacteria, Archaea

32
Q

What’s the similarities and difference between archaea and bacteria?

A

Differences:
Bacteria - Lives EVERYWHERE, a prokaryotic cell.
Archaea - lives in harsh environments, a eukaryotic cell.
Similarites:
Unicellular
Autotroph AND Hetertroph

33
Q

Autotroph

A

An organism that produces its own food

34
Q

Heterotroph

A

An organism that CANNOT produce its own food

35
Q

Viruses

A

An infectious agent that replicates only inside the living cells of an organism.
(VERY SMALL)

36
Q

What do ALL living things have in common?

A

Cellular organization, the ability to reproduce, growth & development, energy use, homeostasis, response to their environment, and the ability to adapt.

37
Q
