|
|
Term
|
Definition
| This stands for a molecule called adenosine diphosphate. |
|
|
Term
| What are ATP and ADP used for? |
|
Definition
| These molecules store and release small amounts of energy for cells. |
|
|
Term
| Molecules of nutrients/food can be stored for ..... |
|
Definition
| quick use in the form of ATP. |
|
|
Term
| What is the main source of energy that drives life on our planet? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| What is cellular respiration? |
|
Definition
| The process of cells breaking down nutrients (such as sugar) into energy and giving off carbon dioxide and water. Both plants and animals can go through cellular respiration. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The process that mainly occurs in plants in which the sun's energy is used to convert carbon dioxide and water in to stored food (such as sugar). |
|
|
Term
| How are the cellular respiration and photosynthesis reactions related? |
|
Definition
| These are pretty much the same reactions but the opposite of each other. Cellular respiration takes in sugar and oxygen then gives off carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis takes in carbon dioxide and water to make sugar and oxygen. |

Term
| What does DNA have to do with RNA? |
|
Definition
| DNA transfers the information to the RNA so RNA can make proteins |
|
|
Term
| What is meant by growth and differentiation? |
|
Definition
| This is when cells or an organism gets larger and changes - such as when a child matures into an adult or as when a cell becomes specialized as part of a tissue. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| This is an organism such as a plant that makes food by the process of photosynthesis. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| This is an organism that eats another organism to get its energy. |
|
|
Term
| What is a primary consumer? |
|
Definition
| This is an organism that only eats/consumes producers (ie: is a plant eater/herbivore). |
|
|
Term
| What is a secondary consumer? |
|
Definition
| This is an organism that eats herbivores (eats animals that were plant eaters) For example, a bird that eats a worm is a secondary consumer. |
|
|
Term
| What is a tertiary consumer? |
|
Definition
| This is an organism at the top of the food chain that only eats organisms that were meat-eaters/carnivores. |
|
|
Term
| True of false - Plants go through both photosynthesis and cellular respiration. |

|
|
Term
|
Definition
| an organism that makes its own food such as a plant - this is another name for a producer |
|
|
Term
| Where in a plant does photosynthesis occur? |
|
Definition
| In the chloroplasts which are organelles inside the plant's leaves and other green parts |
|
|
Term
| Where is genetic information of an organism kept? |
|
Definition
| It is kept in code on the DNA molecules which are found in the nucleus of our cells. |
|
|
Term
| The DNA keeps the code to make.... |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| What happens when genetic information from one individual is crossed with the information from another individual? |
|
Definition
| The genetic information can recombine into new arrangements - for example tall pea plants can be crossed with short pea plants |
|
|
Term
| When traits are expressed it is the result of .... |
|
Definition
| both the genetic information in the organism's cells and the environment where the organism lives |

Term
| What is meant by the term predator? |
|
Definition
| This is an organism that hunts other organisms. |
|
|
Term
| What is meant by the term, prey? |
|
Definition
| This is an organism that is hunted by another organism. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| This is when two or more organisms benefit from living with each other. |
|
|
Term
| What will happen if the predator population increases? |

|
Term
|
Definition
| This is a process of cell division which results in the daughter cells having only half of the number of chromosomes as the original cells. Examples of these cells are egg and sperm. |
