Science Final Review. Study Quiziz. Code 723586
Insoluble
incapable of being dissolved
recessive trait
A trait that needs both parents to have for offspring to get it.
roots
Absorbs water and minerals from the ground. Anchors plant in ground.
Lungs
Main organs of the respiratory system
Density
Mass per unit volume. The more dense, the more something sinks in water. The less dense, the more it floats.
Solubility
The ability to dissolve in another substance
food web
a system of interlocking and interdependent food chains.
Adaptation
A characteristic that improves an individual's ability to survive and reproduce in a particular environment. Born traits. Study evolution slide
Pedigree chart
A chart which shows several generations of related families and how traits are passed down through the offspring.
Symbiosis
A close relationship between two species that benefits at least one of the species.
Omnivore
A consumer that eats both plants and animals
infectious disease
A disease that is caused by a pathogen and that can be spread from one individual to another.
Mutualism
A relationship between two species in which both species benefit
Scientific Method
A series of steps followed to solve problems including collecting data, formulating a hypothesis, testing the hypothesis, and stating conclusions.
Respiratory system
A system of organs, functioning in the process of gas exchange between the body and the environment, consisting especially of the nose, nasal passages, nasopharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and lungs. Study slideshow.
Kingdoms
Classifications of Living things.
Diaphram
Controls the amount of light passing through the opening of the stage
Transpiration
Evaporation of water from the leaves of a plant
endocrine system
Glands secrete hormones that regulate processes such as growth, reproduction, and nutrient use (metabolism) by body cells.
Animal cells
Have a cell membrane, not a cell wall. Animal cells can move. And has centrioles. Study slide
Homozygous
Having two identical alleles for a particular gene
classification system
Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species
anerobic respiration
Respiration that does not require oxygen (2 ATP)
aerobic respiration
Respiration that requires oxygen. (36 ATP)
Digestive system
System that breaks down food and eliminates wasteful. Study slide
Evolution
The gradual change in a species over time. Study slide
Respiration
The process by which cells break down simple food molecules to release the energy they contain.
water cycle
The process of water evaporating and becoming perciputaion
Genetics
The scientific study of heredity. Study slide
Magnets
The source of the magnetic fields, usually an electromagnet.
circulatory system
Transports oxygen, waste, nutrients, hormones, heat, etc... around the body. Also re re-oxygenating blood. Study the slides
Mitosis
Unicellular cell division
Extinction
When an organism spieces dies out
conservation of matter
a fundamental principle of classical physics that matter cannot be created or destroyed in an isolated system
animal
a living organism that feeds on organic matter, typically having specialized sense organs and nervous system and able to respond rapidly to stimuli.
Budding
a new organism grows by mitosis and cell division on the body of its parent
fungus
a parasitic plant lacking chlorophyll and leaves and true stems and roots and reproducing by spores
ecological succession
a series of more-or-less predictable changes that occur in a community over time. Ex. Pond dries and turns to grassland. Then over time turns into a forest.
dominant trait
a trait that will appear in the offspring if one of the parents contributes it. Overrides récessive trait
Gene
a unit of heredity that is transferred from a parent to offspring and is held to determine some characteristic of the offspring.
Zygote
fertilized egg
life processes
functions that a living thing must carry out in order to stay alive. (Ex. metabolism, responsiveness, movement, growth, differentiation, reproduction)
Photosynthesis
process by which plants and some other organisms use light energy to convert water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and high-energy carbohydrates such as sugars and starches
asexual reproduction
process of reproduction involving a single parent that results in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent. There is budding and binary fission.
light source
projects light upwards through the diaphragm to allow you to see the specimen
Protists
single-celled or simple multicellular eukaryotic organisms that generally do not fit in any other kingdom
Phenotype
the set of observable characteristics of an individual resulting from the interaction of its genotype with the environment.
environment
the surroundings or conditions in which a person, animal, or plant lives or operates.
excretory system
the system that removes waste from your body and controls water balance. Study slide
Chromosomes
threadlike structures made of DNA molecules that contain the genes
measuring volume of a liquid
use a graduated cylinder. Measured in liter or mL.
Bacteria
(microbiology) single-celled or noncellular spherical or spiral or rod-shaped organisms lacking chlorophyll that reproduce by fission
Plant cells
1) have cell wall 2) have chlorophyll/chloroplasts 3) large central vacuole. Study slide
Energy
Allows living things to perform life processes.
Heterozygous
An organism that has two different alleles for a trait
Consumers
An organism that obtains energy and nutrients by feeding on other organisms or their remains.
Cells
The basic unit of structure and function in all living things
microsope
an optical instrument used for viewing very small objects, such as mineral samples or animal or plant cells, typically magnified several hundred times. Study slide

Fertilization and Development
sperm and egg make contributions to zygote sperm contributes DNA and a centriole(centriole becomes centrosome which organizes the spindle for mitosis) egg contributes DNA, organelles(mitochondria), nutrients, transcription factors, and mRNAs (known as cytoplasmic determinants)
