| organelle | structure in the cell that has a particular function |
| flagella | organelle that moves cell from one place to another - protist |
| autotroph | organism that can trap energy from sun and make glucose |
| heterotroph | organism that must consume another organism to obtain energy and nutrients |
| gymnosperms | plant that does not have flowers |
| angiosperms | plant that reproduces sexually by producing flowers |
| cohesive | attraction of like molecules - property of water |
| adhesive | attraction of molecules to another substance |
| camouflage | pigmentation used by organism to blend into the environment |
| mimicry | imitation of another organism for safety |
| imprinting | the patterning of behavior through learned behavior |
| instinct | knowledge passed on genetically to offspring - just know to do something |
| prokaryote | first organism to evolve - no true nucleus (bacteria) |
| eukaryote | more complex organisms - have true nucleus |
| enzyme | biological catalyst |
| catalyst | a substance that reduces the energy needed to start a reaction - gets reactions going |
| mean | average of numbers |
| median | value of middle number in a range of numbers |
| transpiration | the movement of water through a plant due to the evaporation of water at leaves |
| tundra | biome where it is cold and dry and has permafrost |
| protist | kingdom that consists of single celled organisms that have a nucleus |
| independent variable | the part of an experiment that you change on purpose |
| dependent variable | the part of the experiment that changes because you changed the independent variable |
| control | the set up in an experiment that you do not change - this is what remains normal for comparison |
| constant | any factor in an experiment that remains the same. all parts should be same except the independent varialbe |
| mutualism | relationship in ecology where two or more different organisms live together - both benefit |
| parasitism | a relationship in ecology where one organism lives at the expense of another - like worms in dogs |
| predation | a relationship in ecology where one organism preys on another |
| competition | a relationship in ecology where two different species are competing for the same resources |
| plasma membrane | organelle that allows materials to move in and out of the cell |
| cytoplasm | organelle that is clear substance inside cell |
| ribosome | organelle that makes proteins |
| endoplasmic reticulum (ER) | organelle that transports things inside the cell |
| golgi apparatus | organelle that sorts and transports proteins |
| mitochondrion | organelle that converts energy to a form useful to cell ATP |
| nucleus | organelle that is the control center of cell |
| nucleus | organelle that contains DNA |
| nucleolus | organelle that is found inside the nucleus |
| nucleolus | organelle that makes ribosomes |
| vacuole | organelle that stores food, water and waste |
| cytoskeleton | network of rods that maintains the cell's shape |
| cell wall | organelle that supports and protects the cell |
| chloroplast | organelle that contains green pigment |
| chloroplast | organelle that captures sunlight and produces food |
| lysosome | organelle that digest food particles, old organelles, bacteria, and viruses |
| centrioles | organelle that help cells divide |
| cilia | organelle that is outside the cell - used to move around |
| flagella | organelle found mostly in protists - moves cell |
