Multicellular
4
Q
- They move around in some way; walk, run, swim, climb, dig, etc.
A
Motile/mobility
5
Q
- They don’t move around, but even they are motile at some point in their life cycle.
A
Sessile
6
Q
- Chemicals that are essential to keep organisms alive
A
Nutrients
7
Q
- An example of a direct source of a cell’s energy for breaking down organic molecules
A
Glucose/sugar
8
Q
Organisms that must consume organic molecules and break them down for energy
A
Heterotrophs
9
Q
- Organisms that extract energy from the sunlight and don’t need organic molecules in their diet.
A
Autotrophs
10
Q
- A chemical process in which oxygen is used to make energy from carbohydrates (sugars).
A
Aerobic respiration
11
Q
- Producing energy without the use of O2.
- more common in bacteria and some fungi
A
Anaerobic respiration
12
Q
Producing energy without the use of O2.
A
13
Q
- Unit of energy
A
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)
14
Q
- twice as efficient as storing extra energy as starch (happens in plants)
- most efficient way to store energy for active animals.
A
Fats/oils
15
Q
- exact copies, clones, easier, quicker, doesn’t require a mate.
A
Asexual reproduction
16
Q
- unique combination of traits
- produces variation which allows for adaptation and evolution
A
Sexual reproduction
17
Q
- the series of changes that the members of a species undergo as they pass from the beginning of a given developmental stage to the same developmental stage in a subsequent generation.
A
Life cycle
18
Q
eg. Frog: embryo> larva > adult
eg. Human: embryo > fetus > juvenile > adult
eg. Butterfly: embryo > caterpillar(larva) > pupa > adult
eg. Fly: embryo > maggot(larva) > pupa > adult
eg. Clam: embryo > glochidium (larva) >adult
A
Examples of complex development
