Unicellular organisms Flashcards
<p>What are the 5 Animal Kingdoms</p>
<p>Animal Kingdom (e.g Lions or bears)
Plant Kingdom (e.g trees and flowers)
Fungi Kingdom (e.g molds, and mushrooms)
Protist Kingdom (Mainly single celled microscopic organisms)
Monera Kingdom (e.g bacteria, it can also make another version of itself within seconds)</p>
<p>What is the difference between asexual and sexual reproduction?</p>
<p>Asexual reproduction is where it makes an exact replica of itself without need of fertilisation. Sexual reproduction is where two creatures are needed to produce diverse being usually with a sperm and egg</p>
<p>What is the nucleus?</p>
<p>The Nucleus is where the dna instructions for the cell are</p>
<p>What is a prokaryotic cell?</p>
<p>A prokaryotic cell is a type of cell that does not have a true nucleus or membrane-bound organelles.</p>
<p>what is a eukaryotic cell?</p>
<p>A eukaryotic cell contains membrane-bound organelles such as a nucleus, mitochondria, and an endoplasmic reticulum.
(aka it contains instructions on what the cell has to do and is the opposite of prokaryotic cell)</p>
<p>What is the name of the nerve that carries the image from your eye to your brain?</p>
<p>Optic nerve</p>
<p>How are the lungs kept clean?</p>
<p>The cilia
(small little hairs on the inside of the lungs) work together with mucus. the Cilia traps unwanted materials and then the mucus flushes it out</p>
<p>What causes pot belly?</p>
<p>Pot belly also known as Kwashiorkor is a disease which is caused by malnourishment, the bodily water then all goes to the stomach so it feels full.</p>
<p>What are cones and rods in an eye?</p>
<p>Cones detect colour and higher light
The rods are most sensitive to light and dark changes</p>
What is budding and Fermentation
Budding = An asexual mode of producing new organisms. In this process, a new organism is developed from a small part of the parent’s body.
Fermentation = entation is the process in which a substance breaks down into a simpler substance. eg: yeast creates beer, wine, bread, kimchi, yogurt and other foods.
