SIMON Flashcards
allows organisms to perform activities such as growth, movement, and reproduction
Energy
obtain energy from sunlight through photosynthesis, while Humans and animals obtain it from food
GREEN PLANTS
=chemical reactions inside an organism =powers life processes by providing raw materials through three activites: nutrients uptake, nutrient processing, and waste elimination
METABOLISM
invovles converting the absorbed food into usable energy growth and repair of cell
NUTRIENT PROCESSING
is the final and important step for the removal of wastes and excesses from the body
WASTE ELIMINATION
occurs by converting Food into body cells in a process calleck intrusception in single-celled organism
GROWTH
display more complex grows through cells differentations and organisms
MULTICELLULAR ORGANISMS
help maintain a normal internal environment through punctions such as controlling heart rate, body temperature and pull composite of cells
ORGAN SYSTEMS
Maintaining the bodies internal environment
HOMEOSTASIS
In the process called _ animals can move from place to place by walking, flying, swimming, gliding, jumping
mobility or locomotion
a hanch themselves to substrate but still show movement in some parts of their backse
Corals
use locomotor argons like cila plageln or pseudopods to move
Microorganisms
move intentionally for reasons including searching for food, reproduction, and responding to environmental changes.
Animals
All living things undergo a life cycle which begins at birth and ends out death
DEVELOPEMENT
process by which genetic information as passed on from are generation to another
REPRODUCTION
leading to genetic recombination and diversity among offspring
SEXUAL REPRODUCTION
A vast diversity of living organisms exist with around __________ _________
1.8 million knows speies
Life on earth can be simplified by looking at its scope on Two dimensional
VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL
Converts solar energy into chemical energy
PHOTOSYNTHESIS
contain green pigments, molecule, chlorophyll, Which absorbs light energy
Chloroplast
Sun emits electromagnetic radiation, visible light being benificial for photosynthesis
CHLOROPHYLL
enters plant cells through Stomata and as absored by the sicomata within the choraplast
carbon dioxide
3 MAIN PHASES
carbon Fixation, reduction regeneration of ribulose biophosphate (RUBP)
catalyzes the final step, combining carbon dioxide with ribwase bispophate (RUBP)
RIBULOSE BISPHOSPHATE CARBOXYLASE CRUBI)
Gradual or rapid changes in population characteristic over time, allowing organisims to better suit and survive nelo environments through evolutionary adaptability
EVOLUTION
small scale changes in a single population or species over shorter time periods
MICROEVOLOUTIONS
Larger and more significant changes
MACROEVOLUTIONS
Is the process by which organisms acquire food
NUTRITION
Obtain energy by Consuming plants and other animals, releasing Carbon dioxide, and animal waste environment
Consumers (hetotrophs)
Fungi, bacteria, recycle, soil nutrients
Decomposers
can be composed of one or more cells
LIVING ORGANISMS
