Quiz #2, Quarter 2, Mr. Betancourt Flashcards
Proteins
Building blocks for organisms structure
Lipids
Stores energy for long periods of time
Nucleic Acid
Holds important hereditary information
Enzymes
Controls rate of chemical reactions
Carbohydrates
Is used for energy and structure
Why are organic compounds organic?
They contain carbon, hydrogen, and, oxygen combination.
Why is water an inorganic compound?
It lacks carbon and hydrogen element combination.
Living space
surroundings that make living things able to live and function, it provides proper temperature.
Oxygen
Releases energy stored in food
Chemical Energy
Allows organisms to function and react to stimuli.
Water
Needed for chemical reactions and transport
Respond to stimuli
Reaction to a change in their surroundings.
Grow and develop
To change in form and size.
Have adaptations
A ability that improves survival
Reproduce own kind example
Cells coming from other pre-existing cells.
Use energy
Preform process and activities that support life.
Made up of cells
Contain the basic unit of structure for all living organisms
What are the three statements of the cell theory?
All living things are made up of one or more living cell, All living cells preform “Life’s Process”, living cells come from living cells.
What are the 6 basic characteristics of all living things?
- made of one or more cells
- use energy
- have adaptations
- respond to stimuli
- grow and develop
- reproduce their own kind
What are the 5 basic needs?
- Proper temperature
- Oxygen
- Water
- Chemical energy
- Living space
What is the sequence/steps of virus reproduction?
- Attach to living cell
- Inject genetic information into the living cell
- Control (take over) cells activity
- Living cell is “forced” to make new viruses
- The host cell bursts and releases new viruses which makes the hos cell die
Which characteristics of living things do viruses lack?
- reproducing their own kind
- growing (increasing in size)
- using energy (sunlight and food)
- made of cells
What are the parts of a virus?
- head
- capsid
- nucleic acid
- tail
- tail fibers
What is the capsid made out of?
protein
what is nucleic acid for?
genetic instruction for making virus structure.
what are tail fibers used for?
to attach to a living cell
