| A | B |
|---|
| Levels of Organization | molecule,cell,tissue,organ,organ system,individual,population,eco system |
| eco system | water, individuals, air, soil, my mother |
| Scientific Method | hypothesis, experiment, control, variable (like a lab) |
| Characteristics of life | reproduction, use of energy, cellular respiration (engery), can adapt, responds to stimulus, |
| producers | provides food for the community |
| autotrophs | organism produces own food (like a plant from the sun) |
| heterotrophs | cannot make its own food (eats other things) |
| decomposers | something that breaks down things into food (such as bacterium or fungus) |
| symbiotic (symbiosis) | relationship between two different organisms |
| commensalism | one organism benefits and the other is neither helped or harmed |
| parasitism | one benefits and the other is harmed |
| mutualism | both things benefit in a relationship |
| cyanobacteria (what do they do) | capture light energy in chloroplasts using chlorophyll |
| atoms | invisible: made of protons, nutrons, and electrons |
| molecules | single atom bound together |
| electrons | negative charge, same amount of protons |
| isotopes | one of several atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons but different number of neutrons |
| element | things like O or H, on the periodic table |
| compounds | H20 (combination of two or more elements |
| Ionic bonds | chemical bond formed between ions with opposite charges |
| covalent bonds | two atoms that share the same electrons |
| hydrogen bonds | weak bond formed by weak attraction |
| Darwin | Made up the theory of Natural selection |
| Natural selection | The theory made by Darwin that helpful states traits are able to survive and reproduce |
| Bonnet | he realized that ancient organisms had no resemblance to modern organisms |
| Lyell | believed that the world was billions of years old, and not just six thousand like in creationism. |
| Lamark | he made the theory of disuse and use. Organisms need to work hard to improve. The less functional parts are the more useless |
| speciation | when new species are born/created |
| geographic isolation | structures such as mountains, rivers or lakes that separate species |
| Cell | a microscopic unit of plant and animal life |
| organism | any animal or plant |
| tissue | made of a group of cells that work together to perform a specific function. |
| organelle | a discrete structure within a cell |
| evolution | the change and development in a population over a long period of time |
| creationism | the theory/belief that god created the earth, plants, animals and the entire universe. |
| adaptive radiation | evolution of species from one common ancestor. |
| convergent evolution | when two different species have to live in the same niche and become very similar to each other. |
| adaptation | When you get used to an environment |
| amino acid | building blocks of proteins |
