Characteristics of livings things Flashcards
This deck covers till the tenth page in NOS 9IG charachteristics if living things booklet.
Locomotion
The ability to move from one place to another
Movement
An action done by an organism or part of an organism causing a change in position or place
Nutrition
The taking in of nutrients for energy growth and development, plants require light carbon dioxide and water, animals need organic compounds and usually need water.
Types of heterotrphs with definition
-Herbivores: Organisms that eat plants
-Carnivores:Organisms that eat meat
-Omnivores:Organisms that eat both meat ant plants
-Scavengers:Scavengers feed on dead or injured animals decaying their organic matter,Scavengers play an important role in the enviroment
-Decomposers:They produce digestive enzymes outside their body, eventually they absorb some of the digested molecules
-Parasites:They derive its food from a another organism called the host while its alive
Excretion
The removal from organisms of the waste products of metabolismn toxic materials and substances in excess of requrements
What are the human waste products
Carbon dioxide:gets out during exhalation through the lungs
Sweat:get outs through skin
Urine:get outs through the kidney
Respiration
The chemical reaction in the cell that break down glucose molecules to release energy
What are the two types of resipiration, Define them
Aerobic: Breaking down of glucose in the presence of oxygen to release energy
Anaerobic: Breaking glucose in the absence of oxygen
Where does Anaerobic respiration and Aerobic respiration happen
Anaerobic respiration happens in the cytoplasm
Aerobic respiration happens in Mitrochondria
What are the anaerobic respiration in yeast and in muscles chemical equations
In Yeast:
C6H12O6->2C2H5OH+2CO2+2ATP
In Muscles
C6H12O6->2C3H6O3+2ATP
What is the aerobic respiration chemical equation
C6H12O6+6O2->6CO2+6H2)+38ATP
What are the anaerobic respiration in yeast and in muscles word equations
In yeast
Glucose->Ethanol+carbon dioxide+2ATP
In muscles
Glucose->Lactic acid + 2ATP
What is the aerobic respiration word equation
Glucose+Oxygen->Carbon dioxide+Water+38ATP
Reproduction
The processes that make more of the same kind of organism
Types of reproduction
Asexual
Sexual
