Q

What are the five major groups

A

Animals, bacteria, plants, protists, and fungi

16
Q

How do you classify living things

A

when you examine the organisms in each group, you see that they have important characteristics in common. This method of classification allows scientists to better understand the diversity of life on earth for example a dog with reclassified animals because it has a backbone

17
Q

How does Paramecium obtain nutrients

A

When the oral groove contains cilia that creates a current that draw food into a cavity once the cavity is filled the food is enclosed in vacuole where it is slowly digested as the food vacuole travels through the cellS NUTRIENTS DIFFUSE through the vacuoles membrane into the cytoplasm

18
Q

How does amoeba obtain nutrients

A

When the amoeba needs nutrients chemicals are released into the vacuole to break down the store food the food particles then able to diffuse into the cytoplasm of the cell

19
Q

How do both Paramecium amoeba exchange gases

A

In unicellular organisms oxygen diffuses across the cell membrane into the cell, carbon dioxide diffuses out of the cell once the concentration of carbon dioxide is higher inside the cell that it is outside of the cell

20
Q

How do unicellular organisms respond to the environment

A

Unlike humans five senses on unicellular organisms do not have the ability they must sense their surroundings and other ways some bacteria can detect chemicals such as sugar in their environment and move toward them Photosynthetic protist called Euglena can detect light using special sensors all organisms are able to sense their environment and someway and respond to it

21
Q

What is movement

A

The change in shape or figure of all or part of an organism a characteristic of living things

22
Q

What is locomotion

A

Locomotion is the movement that takes an object from one place and its environment to another a characteristic of animals animallike protests and some bacteria but not Plants or fungi

23
Q

What is cellular differentiation

A

The process by which a cell become specialized to perform a specific function

24
Q

What is the definition of tissue

A

A group of differentiated cells that work together to perform a specific function

25
Q

Definition of organ

A

To or more tissues that work together to perform one or more functions

26
Q

Definition of organ system

A

A group of organs that work together to perform related functions

27
Q

What are the functions and organs in the respiratory system

A

Functions it exchanges oxygen and carbon dioxide between blood and the external environment for major organs there is Lungs windpipe and blood vessels

28
Q

Major functions and major organs for the nervous system

A

Four major functions there is to responds changes in the internal and next ternal environment of the body and coordinates the function of all of the organ systems.

For major organs they are brain spinal cord sensory organs brackets eyes ears nose tastebuds bracket

29
Q

How does gas exchange occur and bigger vertebrates

A

In a bigger vertebrae such as humans Air is inhaled through the mouth and nose and passes into the trachea

30
Q

How do small vertebrae’s exchange gas

A

Small vertebrates use diffusion to obtain oxygen for example the earthworm uses it’s moist skin to exchange gases with the outside air

31
Q

How does gas exchange occurs in plants

A

Plants have special tissues containing stomates which they use for gas exchange stomates are microscopic pores that control the movement of gases and water vapor into and out of the plant

32
Q

Give one example of how animals respond to the environment

A

An example would be a cat may see a saucer of milk information from the cat’s-eye travels along nerve cells to the brain with that brain processes the information it to bring to size it wants the milk the brain sends a signal to the Muscles
the cats limbs and the cat moves the saucer of milk and drinks it

33
Q

What unicellular organisms are helpful to humans

A

Fungi and bacteria for example are decomposers breakdown dead plant and animals material releasing usable nutrients and carbon dioxide back into the environment some bacteria are able to change nitrogen into the air into a material that acts like a plant fertilizer

34
Q

What unicellular organisms are back to the environment and humans

A

So microorganisms can cause health problems such as acne strep throat and diarrhea in humans so microorganisms can make people temporally ill or others can cause serious diseases several bacterial diseases have killed millions of people throughout history
