| Why do scientists organize information about living things? | to make studying and discussing them easier. |
| what are the 5 kingdoms of living things? | monerans, protists, fungi, plants, and animals |
| Name four ways that living things are different from non-living things. | Living things breathe, have working cells, need two more. |
| Besides its shape, how is a plant cell different from an animal cell? | Plant cells differ from animal cells because they have cell walls and chloroplasts. |
| which group of vertibrates begins life in water and later lives on land? | amphibians such as frogs and toads. |
| Which vertebrates have hair and give mild for their young? | mammals |
| Which of the following is NOT a kingdom: fungi, plants, vertebrates, or animals? | vertebrates |
| Draw an animal cell. Then label the following structures within the cell: cell membrane, nucleus, mitochondria, cytoplasm, vacuoles. | Draw on paper. |
| Which animals are NOT vertebrates: reptiles, mammals, arthropods or amphibians? | arthropods are not vertebrates. |
| Why aren't fungi (fungus) classified in the plant kingdom? | They don't make their own food. |
| Unscramble the letters in " saltpholorc" to find a structure found in some plant cells, but not animal cells. Why is this structure important to plant cells? | Chloroplast. It's important because it makes food for the plant cell. |
| Which kingdom contains one-celled living things without nuclei: plants, monerans, fungi, protists? | monerans |
| Name five vertebrates. What one thing do they all have in common? | mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish and birds. They all have a backbone. |
| Unscramble the letters below to find the three things green plants need to make food. water, mcabo xiiddoe, tilgh yeegnr | water, carbon dioxide, light energy |
| How are the skeletons of vertebrates and invertebrates different? | The skeletons of vertebrates are made of bones that support their bodies from the inside. The skeletons of invertebrates form hard outer coverings. |
| What are the main two groups of plants? | vascular plants such as ferns and trees. They have tubes to carry water and food. Nonvascular plants such as mosses. they do not have tubes. They need to live in a moist place and don't grow very large. |
| Give two examples of vascular and nonvascular plants. | Vascular plants...trees and ferns. Nonvascular plants...mosses and liverworts |
| what is the difference between osmosis and diffusion? | Osmosis requires energy from the cell. Diffusion does not require energy from the cell. Both are how materials move in and out of a cell. |
| Blood contains three types of cells: red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. What is the function of each type of cell? | White blood cells-help the body fight infection, red blood cells--absorb oxygen from air in the lungs and transport it to every cell in the body. Platelets--tiny pieces of blood cells that cause blood to clot when a blood vessel is cut. |
| There are more than 600 muscles in the human body. What are the tree main kinds of muscles? What does each tyoe do? | voluntary muscles-- move bones and hold your body upright. smooth muscles-- move substances through the organs they surround. cardiac muscles-- make up the walls of the heart. Their function is to pump blood. |
| There are three kinds of blood vessels in the body: arteries, capillaries and veins. What is the function of each type of vessel? | Arteries- are the major blood vessels that blood leaves the heart through. capillaries-- are small blood vessels that carry nutrients and oxygen to parts of the body. veins-- return blood to the heart. |
