Q

Ionic Bond

A

Formed when oppositely charges ions attract

16
Q

Covalent bond

A

Atoms share electrons to fill up their orbitals to capacity

17
Q

Organelle

A

Organs of a cell which perform specialized tasks

18
Q

Cell

A

Smallest unit of life, make up all living things

Lots of different types with different jobs

19
Q

Tissue

A

A bunch of cells of the same type working together

20
Q

Organ

A

A bunch of tissues working together

Together the tissues perform a bigger job

21
Q

Organ system

A

Bunch of organs working together

22
Q

Organism

A

A single living thing

23
Q

Population

A

A group of organisms of the same species loving together

24
Community
All living things in an area
25
Ecosystem
- all living things in an area and their abiotic environment
26
Cell theory
All organisms are made of cells Cells are the basic units of life All cells are produced from existin cells
27
Functions of Living Things
Nutrition/energy/metabolism Growth and reproduction Response to environment
28
Nutrition energy and merabolism
Catabolism- break sdown Anabolism- build up new products the cell can use Catabolism + anabolism= metabolism
29
Growth and reproduction
All cells grow and reproduce trough the cell cycle
30
Response to the environment
Goal is maintaining homeostasis usually through negative feedback
31
Negative feedback
Applies an opposite force to balance a change
32
Emergent properties
In multicellular organisms The whole is greater than the sum of it's parts Multicellularity allows for specialization of function which would not otherwise be possible Cells communicate
33
Characteristics of all cells
Tend to be microscopic All cells enclosed by a membrane- homeostasis is impossible if there in no seperation Filled with with cytoplasm Help carry chemicals to maintain reactions in the body Maintain pressure inside cell
34
Eukaryotic Cell Characteristcs
``` Nucleus to contain DNA Have membrane bound organelles Larger Sometimes have cell walls Multi or unicellular ```
35
Prokaryotic cell characteristics
DNA floats freely No membrane bound organelles Always have a cell wall Always unicellular
