The ability of an organism to maintain a stable internal balanced environment is
homeostatis
Failure to maintain homeostasis can result in
sickness or death
__________ molecules contain skeleton structures of carbon with hydrogen and oxygen
organic
The organic molecule that is found in grains, vegetables and fruit, and that has the basic unit of glucose is a
carbohydrate
The organic molecule that is found in meat, egg whites and beans and that has the basic unit of amino acid is
protein
The organic molecule that is found in animal fats, nuts and oils and that has the basic unit of fatty acid and glycerin is
lipid
The organic molecule that is found in small amounts in all foods and that has the basic unit of nucleotide is
nucleic acid
What is the organization of living things from smallest to largest?
cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, organism
The small parts that make up a cell are called
organelles
These store waste and water. They are large in plant cells and small in animal cells.
vacuoles
These are located on the ER or in the cytoplasm. They are where proteins are made
ribosomes
This is the site of cellular respiration in both plant and animal cells. It is also the powerhouse of the cell, where energy is made.
mitochondria
Glucose + oxygen --> carbon dioxide + water + ENERGY (ATP)
formula for cellular respiration
These are found only in plant cells. They are where photosynthesis occurs
chloroplasts
Sun's energy + carbon dioxide + water --> glucose + water + oxygen
formula for photosynthesis
This is the control center of the cell. It contains DNA
nucleus
This is the program code of life
DNA
This is the liquid media that fills the cell
cytoplasm
This separates the contents of the cell from the outside environment. It also controls the transport of materials into and out of the cell
cell membrane
This is what it's called when a cell allows some materials to go through the cell membrane, but not other materials
selective permeability
When cells recognize and respond to chemical signals by using receptor molecules
cellular communication
The movement of molecules from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration. No energy is used
passive transport
The movement of molecules from areas of low concentration to areas of high concentration. Uses energy in the form of ATP
active transport
