Question 10

Atom

Answer 10

Smallest particle of matter

Made of electrons, neutrons, protons

Question 11

Electrons

Answer 11

Negative charge, outside nucleus, make atoms bond, affects charge

Question 12

Neutrons

Answer 12

No charge, in nucleus, determine mass

Question 13

Protons

Answer 13

Positive charge, in nucleus, determines mass

Question 14

Molecule

Answer 14

2 or more atoms bonded together

Have properties different from the atoms they are made of

Question 15

Ionic Bond

Answer 15

Formed when oppositely charges ions attract

Question 16

Covalent bond

Answer 16

Atoms share electrons to fill up their orbitals to capacity

Question 17

Organelle

Answer 17

Organs of a cell which perform specialized tasks

Question 18

Cell

Answer 18

Smallest unit of life, make up all living things

Lots of different types with different jobs

Question 19

Tissue

Answer 19

A bunch of cells of the same type working together

Question 20

Organ

Answer 20

A bunch of tissues working together

Together the tissues perform a bigger job

Question 21

Organ system

Answer 21

Bunch of organs working together

Question 22

Organism

Answer 22

A single living thing

Question 23

Population

Answer 23

A group of organisms of the same species loving together

Question 24

Community

Answer 24

All living things in an area

Question 25

Ecosystem

Answer 25

• all living things in an area and their abiotic environment

Question 26

Cell theory

Answer 26

All organisms are made of cells
Cells are the basic units of life
All cells are produced from existin cells

Question 27

Functions of Living Things

Answer 27

Nutrition/energy/metabolism
Growth and reproduction
Response to environment

Question 28

Nutrition energy and merabolism

Answer 28

Catabolism- break sdown
Anabolism- build up new products the cell can use
Catabolism + anabolism= metabolism

Question 29

Growth and reproduction

Answer 29

All cells grow and reproduce trough the cell cycle

Question 30

Response to the environment

Answer 30

Goal is maintaining homeostasis usually through negative feedback

Question 31

Negative feedback

Answer 31

Applies an opposite force to balance a change

Question 32

Emergent properties

Answer 32

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

Question 33

Characteristics of all cells

Answer 33

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

Answer 34

Nucleus to contain DNA
Have membrane bound organelles
Larger
Sometimes have cell walls
Multi or unicellular

Question 35

Prokaryotic cell characteristics

Answer 35

DNA floats freely
No membrane bound organelles
Always have a cell wall
Always unicellular
