Composition 11 Flashcards
LIVING THINGS
all carry on life functions, such as respiration, nutrition, response, circulation, growth, excretion, regulation, and reproduction, all which characterize them as living as opposed to nonliving
FLOWER PARTS
- —-anther-male part of the flower that produces and contains pollen (long and centered)
- —-ovary-female part of the flower that has seeds and turns into fruit(thin shorter than anther and many)
- —–petal
- —–sepal-protection of flower in bud
DNA
—-deoxyribonucleic acid
a molecule that carries genetic instructions used in growth, development, functioning and reproduction of all known living organisms and many viruses.
—genetic information or “instructions” of a cell
EUKARYOTE CELLS
contain membrane-bound organelles, including a nucleus
larger and more complex
PROKARYOTE CELLS
do not contain a nucleus or other membrane-bound organelles
ex. bacteria
small and simple
ORGANELLES
compartmentalize cellular functions
living parts
includes endoplasmic reticulum ER, ribosomes, mitochandria, golgi apparatus
MITOCHANDRIA
sites where cell respiration take place
generate energy for the cell
spherical, rod-shaped or thread like bodies
RIBOSOMES
a group of numerous small granules
GOLGI APPARATUS
occurs in the form of granules, filaments, or rods orginated from the endoplasmic reticulum
MITOSIS
cell division
process by which one nucleus turn into two nuclei that each have the original genetic information
SKELETAL SYSTEM
bones supporting the body and organs
CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM
circulates blood around the body via the heart, arteries, and veins, delivering oxygen and nutrients to organs and cells and carrying waste products away
MUSCULAR SYSTEM
enables the body to move using muscles
ENDOCRINE SYSTEM
provides chemical communications within the body using hormones
LYMPHATIC SYSTEM
defends the body against disease-causing agents
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
the lungs and trachea that bring air into the body
DIGESTIVE SYSTEM/EXCRETORY SYSTEM
- mechanical and chemical processes that provide nutrients via the mouth, esophagus, stomach, and intestines
- eliminates waste from body
REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
the sex organs required for the production of offspring
URINARY SYSTEM/RENAL SYSTEM
the system where kidneys filter blood
INTERGUMENTARY SYSTEM
skin, hair, nails, sweat, and other exocrine glands
KIDNEYS
maintain our body’s water balance by controlling the water concentration of blood plasma
HOMEOSTASIS
the ability of all living things to detect deviations and to maintain a constant internal environment
STOMATA
openings in the surface of a leaf adapted to control the loss of water
each opening has two guard cells.
TISSUE/ORGAN/ORGAN SYSTEM/ORGANISM
a group of cells work together to form tissue
tissue works together to form an organ
a group of organs work together to form an organ system
a group of systems form and organism
