Homeostasis And Cell Process Flashcards
the maintenance of a constant internal state in a changing environment is what?
Homeostasis.
Homeostasis ensures that cells can obtain and use what 4 things?
energy, make new cells, exchange materials, and eliminate wastes in a changing environment.
What organisms exchange materials directly with the environment?
Unicelular organisms.
What organisms have systems that transport materials to cells from other places within the organism?
Multicellular
What is the transport system in humans?
Cardiovascular system.
What are the transport system in plants?
Xylem and phloem.
Cells get energy by doing what?
Breaking down materials.
Plants, algae, and some bacteria make their own food by a process called what?
Photosynthesis.
For photosynthesis, in the presence of sunlight, what two things are converted to sugar and oxygen?
Carbon dioxide and water.
Plants and animals use oxygen during what to produce energy from food?
Cellular respiration.
Sugars and oxygen are converted to what during cellular respiration?
Water, carbon dioxide, and energy.
What and what are linked because each process depends on the products of the other?
Photosynthesis and cellular respiration.
Cells do what at different rates for different reason?
Grow, divide, and die
In eukaryotes, DNA is copied before a cell can do what?
Divide.
What is cell division that forms two new nuclei that are identical to each other?
Mitosis.
