Finales Flashcards
is the process by which plants, some bacteria, and some protistans use the energy from sunlight to produce sugar, which cellular respiration converts into ATP, the “fuel” used by all living things
Photosynthesis
A colorless, odorless gas produced by burning carbon and organic compounds and by respiration. It is naturally present in air (about 0.03 percent) and is absorbed by plants in photosynthesis
Carbon Dioxide
A simple sugar that is an important energy source in living organisms and is a component of many carbohydrates.
a syrup containing glucose and other sugars, made by hydrolysis of starch and used in the food industry.
Glucose
How nature moves energy at an extremely rapid rate, and it makes up about 99% of the body’s atoms and cells, and signal all body parts to carry out their respective tasks. An example of light energy is the movement of a radio signal.
Light Energy
(in green plant cells) A plastid that contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place
Chloroplasts
A green pigment, present in all green plants and in cyanobacteria, responsible for the absorption of light to provide energy for photosynthesis. Its molecule contains a magnesium atom held in a porphyrin ring.
Chlorophyll
A special type of interaction between species. Sometimes beneficial, sometimes harmful, these relationships are essential to many organisms and ecosystems, and they provide a balance that can only be achieved by working together.
Symbiotic Relationship
The surroundings or conditions in which a person, animal, or plant lives or operates. The natural world, as a whole or in a particular geographical area, especially as affected by human activity.
Environment
A gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth’s atmosphere generally attributed to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons, and other pollutants
Global Warming
The natural home or environment of an animal, plant, or other organism. A person’s usual or preferred surroundings
Habitat
An innate, typically fixed pattern of behavior in animals in response to certain stimuli.
Instinct
Seasonal movement of animals from one region to another. Movement from one part of something to another.
Migration
An individual animal, plant, or single-celled life form. The material structure of an individual life form. A whole with interdependent parts, likened to a living being
Organism
Contaminate (water, air, or a place) with harmful or poisonous substances.
Pollute
A verbal or written answer. A written or verbal answer to a question in a test, questionnaire, survey, etc. A reaction to something
Response
A thing or event that evokes a specific functional reaction in an organ or tissue. A thing that rouses activity or energy in someone or something; a spur or incentive
Stimulus
Of or situated on the inside. inner parts or features.
Internal
Belonging to or forming the outer surface or structure of something. The outward features of something
External
A series of actions or steps taken in order to achieve a particular end. Perform a series of mechanical or chemical operations on (something) in order to change or preserve it
Process
A fixed form of words, especially one used in particular contexts or as a conventional usage
Formula
Happen; take place. Exist or be found to be present in a place or under a particular set of conditions.
Occurs
Physiology Something that can elicit or evoke a physiological response in a cell, a tissue, or an organism. Sense organs, such as the ear, and sensory receptors, such as those in the skin, are sensitive to things such as sound and touch.
Internal Stimuli
Sense organs, such as the ear, and sensory receptors, such as those in the skin, are sensitive to external stimuli such as sound and touch. Something that has an impact or an effect on an organism so that its behavior is modified in a detectable way.
External Stimuli
A nonliving condition or thing, as climate or habitat, that influences or affects an ecosystem and the organisms in it: can determine which species of organisms will survive in a given environment. Compare biotic factor. Contemporary definitions for abiotic factor Expand. The nonliving factors in an organism’s environment
Abiotic Factors
Any living component that affects the population of another organism, or the environment. This includes animals that consume the organism, and the living food that the organism consumes. also include human influence, pathogens and disease outbreaks. The living factors in an organism’s environment
Biotic Factors
A hierarchical series of organisms each dependent on the next as a source of food. The series of processes by which food is grown or produced, sold, and eventually consumed. Four levels of energy each time the energy moving throughout the food chain the energy gets smaller. A simple model that shows how energy flows through an ecosystem.
Food Chains
When the organism can produce its’s own food and energy without consuming or eating another organism in order to survive. Their main source of energy consist of sunlight.
Producers
When the organism must eat another organism in order to get energy to survive. The consumer gets energy from the producer but gets less energy from the producer than when the producer produces its own energy.
Consumer
