| Active Transport | When materials require energy to move through a cell membrane |
| biodegradable | substances that break down easily |
| carbohydrates | organic compounds made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen |
| consumer | organisms that can't make their own food |
| diffusion | the movement of molecules from an area where there are many to where there are few |
| endocytosis | large proteins/molecules are enclosed in a part of the membrane that folds in to form a sac. The sac then pichs off and goes into the cytoplasm |
| exocytosis | proteins packaged by GOlgi Bodies fuses with cell membrane |
| fermentation | a form of resperation that gives off energy without using oxygen |
| lipids | organic compunds that store and release large amounts of energy |
| metabolism | the total of all activities of an organism that enable it to stay alive |
| nucleic acids | large organic molecules that store important information |
| osmosis | passive transport of water through a membrane |
| passive transport | transport through a cells membrane without using energy |
| photosythesis | the process of converting light energy into chemical energy(gluclose) |
| producers | organisms that can make their own food |
| proteins | organic compounds made up of amino acids that build cell parts |
| respiration | the process in which gluclose and oxygen is comnbined to release energy |
| binomial nomenclature | two-word naming system |
| classes | third largest taxonomic catagory |
| deforestation | the destruction of forests |
| dichtomus keys | the keys found in field guides |
| division | a word used in the place of phylum |
| eukaryotes | sn organism with a nucleus and organelles |
| families | 3rd smallest taxonomic catagory |
| genus | a group of species with similar evolutionary history |
| kingdom | the largest taxonomic catagory |
| orders | 4th largest taxonomic catagory |
| phylogeny | an organism' evolutionary history |
| phylum | 2nd largest taxonomic catagory |
| prokaryotes | cells without a nucleus or organelles |
| species | the smallest most specific taxonomic catagory |
| species diversity | a great variety of plants and animals |
| taxonomy | the science of grouping and naming organisms |
| aerobes | organisms that require oxygen |
| AIDS | Aquirred Immune Deficency Syndrome |
| antibiotic | a substance produced by one organism that inhibits or kills another organism |
| endospores | bacteria with the ability to produce thick walls around themselves and become resistant to heat and cold |
| fission | when a bacteria cell splits in two to become two cells with identical genetic material |
| flagellum | whiplike tail that assist bacteria in movement |
| interferon | a protein that keeps viruses from infecting cells |
| latent virus | a virus that enters a cells DNA without estroying the cell or reproducing. It reproduces with the cell, and eventually becomes active |
| nitrogen-fixing bacteria | this bacteria changes nitrogen into useful forms |
| obligate anaerobes | bacteria to which ir is poison |
| parasite | anything that depends on its host to survive and harms the thing on which it depends |
| pathogen | any organism that produces a disease |
| sprophyte | any organism that changes dead material into energy/food |
| toxins | a poison |
| vaccine | a formula made from damaged particles that don't carry the disease anymore |
| virus | microscopic particles with a DNA/RNA core surrounded by a protein coat |
