| Aerobe | Organism that uses oxygen |
| Anaerobe | Organism that does not use oxygen |
| Autotroph | An organism that can make its own food |
| Heterotroph | an organism that cannot make its own food |
| Binary fission | A form of asexual reproduction used by bacteria |
| Virus | A non-living organism that causes disease, it is non- living because it is not a complete cell and cannot reproduce on its own |
| B cells | White blood cells that form antibodies |
| T- cells | White blood cells that attack invaders |
| Retro virus | A virus that uses RNA instead of DNA |
| Protists | First kingdom to be eukaryotic organisms |
| Protozoan | Animal like protist |
| Paramecium | A protozoan that uses cilia to move, a gullet to eat and can reproduce sexually at the oral groove |
| Euglena | Uses a flagellum, can get food or use photosynthesis to make food |
| Amoeba | Protozoan that has no shape, uses a pseudopod and causes diseases |
| Fungi | Kingdom composed of mold, and mushrooms, uses spores to reproduce uses extracellular digestion, is a major decomposer |
| Flagellum | Whip-like tail |
| Pseudopod | False foot |
| Cilia | Hair-like projections |
| Bacteriophage | Virus that attacks bacteria |
| endospore | Protective wall formed by a bacteria to allow it to go “dormant” |
| Non-vascular plants | Plants that contain no vascular tissue and can not stand up. Mosses and liverworts are common examples |
| Vascular plant | A plant that contains vascular tissue that can stand up and transport water and nutrients |
| Ferns | The simplest vascular plant, still uses spores |
| Gymnosperms | Naked seeds, these are pine trees |
| Conifer | Pine trees |
| Angiosperms | Flowering plants, the most complex of all plants |
| Cuticle | The waxy covering on leaves, stems and fruit to prevent water loss |
| Stomata | The pores in plant leaves that allow the plant to exchange gases (transpire) |
| Transpiration | Plant breathing |
| Guard cells | Cells surround the stomata, that use water to open and close that help prevent extra water from being lost |
| Xylem | The rings of a tree, Part of the vascular tissue used to carry water and nutrient UP from the roots to the leaves |
| Phloem | Part of the vascular tissue used to carry water and nutrients DOWN from the leaves to the roots |
| Roots | Organs of a plant used to stabilize it and absorb water and nutrients |
| Root hairs | Hair like projections that come off the main root to increase surface are to absorb more water |
| Self-pollinate | A plant that pollinates itself |
| Cross pollination | A plant that gets pollen from another plant to become pollinated |
| Co-evolution | 2 species (flower and insect) evolve together to make each better suited |
| Phototropism | Plant bends towards the sun |
| Auxin | Hormone used by plant to allow it to bend |
| Gravotropism | Roots grow downward towards gravity |
| Annual | Plant that lives and produces seed in one year |
| Biennial | Plant that lives and produces seeds in 2 years |
| Perennial | Plants that come back every year |
| Fruit | The ovary of a plant |
| Seed | The fertilized egg of a plant |
| Germination | A seed that has begun to sprout |
