| Abiotic | any non-living factor in an organisms environment such as: soil, water, temperature, light etc... |
| Autotroph | organism that carries out photosynthesis also known as a Producer example PLANTS |
| Biotic | living |
| basic unit of structure and organization of all living things | Cell |
| Cell Theory (3 parts) | all living things are made up of cells, cells are the basic unit of life, all cells come from only other cells |
| cell organelle | tiny "organs" of a cell |
| 8 Characteristics of living things: | made of cells, moves, respond, respiration, excrete, take in nutrients, reproduce, grow |
| Two types of reproduction | sexual and asexual |
| sexual reproduction | involves the fusion the sperm and the egg |
| Zygote | fertilized egg |
| EXTERNAL FERTILIZATION | TYPE OF SEXUAL REPRODUCTION THAT OCCURS WHEN SPERM AND EGG COMBINE OUTSIDE AN ANIMAL'S BODY EX: FISH LAY EGGS AND THEY BECOME FERTILIZED LATER.. |
| ALL OF THE CHEMICAL REACTIONS THAT OCCUR WITHIN AN ORGANISM | METABOLISM |
| EXCRETION | removal of wastes |
| REGULATION OF AN ORGANISM'S INTERAL ENVIRONMENT TO MAINTAIN CONDITIONS NEEDED FOR LIFE | HOMEOSTASIS |
| CELL WALL | ONE OF THE CELL ORGANELLES FOUND IN PLANT CELLS, THE RIDGID BARRIER THAT SURROUNDS THE OUTSIDE OF THE CELL- USED FOR SUPPORT AND PROTECTION |
| CELL MEMBRANE / PLASMA MEMBRANE | FOUND IN BOTH ANIMAL AND PLANT CELLS- FLEXIBLE BOUNDARY THAT HELPS CONTROL WHAT ENTERS AND LEAVES THE CELL, "CELL BOUNCER" |
| NUCLEUS | THE CONTROL CENTER OF THE CELL , CONTAINS THE CELLS DNA "CELL BRAIN" |
| RIBOSOMES | SITE OF PROTEIN SYNTHESIS |
| SYNTHESIS | TO MAKE |
| PHOTOSYNTHESIS | PLANTS ABILITY TO MAKE ITS OWN FOOD BY USING ENERGY FROM THE SUN |
| MITOCHONDRIA | MEMBRANE BOUND ORGANELLE THAT CONVERTS FUEL INTO ENERGY MAKING IT AVAILABLE TO THE REST OF THE CELL "POWER HOUSE OF THE CELL" |
| SITE OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS | CHLOROPLAST |
| GREEN PIGMENT IN PLANTS | CHLOROPHYLL |
| VACUOLE | CELL ORGANELLE USED FOR STORAGE OF MATERIALS SUCH AS FOOD AND WATER |
| DO PLANTS HAVE VACUOLES? | YES USUALLY ONE LARGE CENTRAL VACUOLE |
| DO ANIMAL CELLS HAVE VACUOLES? | YES ANIMAL CELLS HAVE MORE VACUOLES THAN A PLANT CELLS, BUT USUALLY THEY ARE MUCH SMALLER |
| NAME THREE CELL ORGANELLES THAT PLANT CELLS HAVE BUT ANIMAL CELLS DON'T | CELL WALL, CHLOROPLASTS, LARGE CENTRAL VACUOLE |
| ANY CHANGE IN AN ORGANISMS ENVIRONMENT THAT CAUSES THE ORGANISM TO REACT | STIMULUS |
