characteristics of life

Question 1

what are characteristics of life?

Answer 1

composed of cells, excrete waste, reproduces, has energy, grow and have a lifetime, and respond to stimuli 

Question 2

What is the cell theory?

Answer 2

• all organisms are composed of one or more cells
  -All cells come from pre-existing cells
• The cell is the basic unit of life

Question 3

what are the kingdoms of life?

Answer 3

Archaea eubacteria (prokaryotes)
Prostista fungi plantae animelia (eukaryotes)

Question 4

What is an organelle?

Answer 4

A specialized structure within a cell

Question 5

What is a cell?

Answer 5

The basic structural and functional unit of living organisms

Question 6

What is tissue?

Answer 6

Group of similar cells combine to perform a common function 

Question 7

What is an organ and organ system?

Answer 7

an organ is a combination of two or more different tissues perform a common function, and the system is a group of related organisms working together

Question 8

What is the population?

Answer 8

A group of organisms of the same species, occupying a certain area and sharing a common gene pool

Question 9

What is a community?

Answer 9

an as-semblance of species interacting with one another within the same environment

Question 10

what is an ecosystem?

Answer 10

Biological community together with the associated abiotic environmental; characterized by a flow of energy and a cycling of inorganic nutrients 

Question 11

What is a biosphere?

Answer 11

A zone of air, land, and water, at the surface of the Earth, in which living organisms are found

Question 12

what is the photosynthesis equation?

Answer 12

6CO2 + 6H2O —> 6O2 + C6H12O6
carbon dioxide + water —> oxygen+ glucose

Question 13

where does photosynthesis occur in a eukaryote? 

Answer 13

found in chloroplasts

Question 14

where does photosynthesis occur in a prokaryote?

Answer 14

found in the cytoplasm 

Question 15

What is cellular respiration?

Answer 15

metabolism of food molecules in cells that generate ATP (adenosine triphosphate)

Question 16

What is protein synthesis?

Answer 16

producing proteins from amino acids at ribosomes

Question 17

What does yeast produce through fermentation?

Answer 17

ethyl, alcohol, using sugar ( anaerobic respiration)

Question 18

what do animal cells produce when working anaerobically?

Answer 18

they produce lactic acid 

Question 19

what is an obligate aerobe?

Answer 19

Obligated to be aerobic (needs oxygen, eukaryotes)

Question 20

what is an obligate anaerobe?

Answer 20

Obligated to be anaerobe (does not need oxygen, prokaryotes)

Question 21

what is a faculative aerobe?

Answer 21

Normally function aerobically but can conduct anaerobic respiration in the absence of oxygen (ex. yeast/unicellular fungi, eucaryotic)

Question 22

what is the equation for adenosine triphosphate?

Answer 22

exact same as photosynthesis but backwards the product also has 38 ATP

Question 23

Where is the energy stored in an ATP bond?

Answer 23

The covalent bonds holding the outer two phosphate units contain a large amount of energy, enzymes break the bonds and energy is available to the cell
