Week 1 Flashcards
(35 cards)
biology is…
the study of life + (non-living parts of the environment)
organisms share…
common traits that define life
6 traits that define life
evolve, growth, reproduce, sense/respond to stimuli, get/use materials/energy,maintain organized complexity
__ cant get materials/energy, reproude, or grow by themseleves
also dont fall into eukaryotic cells/prokaryotic cells
viruses
viruses need to infect a what…
host cell
eukaryotiv cells are/have
plants, animals, fungi/a nucleus, plasma membrane, can be unicellular/multicellular
aomeba are
unicellular eukaryotes
people are
multicellular eukaryotes
prokaryotic cells..
are bacteria/archaea that lack organelles; are unicellular; and have ribosomes
ribosomes
presence /absence of them help create proteins and bacteria need them in order to exist
organisms get/use energy by 2 ways
humans: consumption/plants: photosynthesis
homeostasis
living things need to maintain internal environment
bacteria grow by
enlarging cells and dividing to reproduce (binary fission = asexual reproduction)
animals/plants grow by
increasing # of cells in bodies via cell division
development
an organism becomes more complex
dna
exists in living cells (NOT VIRUSES)
genes
specific units of dna that are the basic units of heredity
evolution
all living organisms evolve
mutations
changes in genes caused by dna errors/damesges to dna
natural selection
triats that allow them to survive better than others
adaption
structures/ physiological processes/ behaviors that aid in survival/reproduction
atom
smallest particle of an element that has all the properties of said element
atoms can combine to
form molecules
molecules
building blocks of each cell
