Summative Friday 8/23

Question 1

Cells

Answer 1

Smallest units of all living things

Named by Robert Hooke who saw the “cells” or rooms of cork in a microscope

Question 2

DNA

Answer 2

Deoxyribonucleic acid

Located in the nucleus of eukaryotic cell and unbound in the prokaryotic cell

Contains genetic material pass from adult to offspring during reproduction

Question 3

Unicellular

Answer 3

One-celled organism; prokaryote and some eukaryotes

Bacteria, Amoeba

Question 4

Multicellular

Answer 4

Complex organism with many cells; eukaryotes

animals, plants, fungi, and some protists

Question 5

Specialized cells

Answer 5

Cells in multicellular organisms with specific functions like nerve, heart, muscle, and skin cells

Question 6

Metabolism

Answer 6

process that occurs through chemical changes to produce energy for the cells of organisms (living things) to function

Question 7

Stimulus

Answer 7

Change in odor, sound, flavors, and light

Question 8

Response

Answer 8

Reaction to a stimulus
Swat a fly
Raise your hand to respond
Helps all organisms survive and function

Question 9

Development

Answer 9

When an organism changes from one stage to another

caterpillar to butterfly

Question 10

Growth

Answer 10

When an organism gets larger
foot size

Question 11

Asexual reproduction

involves only 1 parent
offspring are clones of the adult
example: the hydra budding off the adult

Question 12

Sexual reproduction

Answer 12

involves 2 parents
offspring have characteristics of both parents

Question 13

Autotroph

Answer 13

Get energy from photosynthesis and provide energy for consumers or heterotrophs
plants are examples of autotrophs
plants get energy directly from the sun

Question 14

Heterotroph

Answer 14

Organisms that get their energy indirectly from the sun
Heterotrophs depend on autotrophs for energy

Question 15

Prokaryote

Answer 15

single celled, simple organism
no bound nucleus
example; bacteria

Question 16

Characteristics of living things

Answer 16

-grow and develop
-reproduce - asexually or sexually
-respond to stimulus to help maintain homeostasis for the organism
-contain DNA that is passed from parent to offspring
-contain cells; multicellular, unicellular
-contain chemicals for metabolism to provide energy for the organism

Question 17

Cell theory

Answer 17

1. cells come from existing cells
2. cells provide the structure and function for all organisms
3. all living things are made from cells

Question 18

Differences between prokaryote and eukaryote cells

Answer 18

See Ven diagrams and notes
Be able to identify a prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell
