____________ is best
described as away of knowing.
Science
A well-tested explanation that
explains a lot of observations
is a
theory
A personal preference or point
of view is a
bias
The process by which
organisms keep everything
inside their bodies within
certain limits is called
homeostasis.
The branch of biology dealing
with interactions among
organisms and between
organisms and their
environment is called
ecology
The simplest grouping of more
than one kind of organism in
the biosphere is a
community
The lowest level of
environmental complexity that
includes living and nonliving
factors is the
ecosystem
Give an example of a primary
producers
plants
__________ get their energy
by consuming only plants.
herbivores
__________ get their energy
by consuming only other
animals.
carnivores
What animals eat both
producers and consumers?
omnivores
A word that means the same
thing as consumer is
heterotroph
The repeated movement of
water between Earth’s surface
and the atmosphere is called
the water cycle
Nonliving factors in the
environment
abiotic
Living factors within an
ecosystem
biotic
Which are two ways a
population can increase in
size?
increased in birthrate and immigration
Something that controls the
growth or size of a population
is a
limiting factor
Competition, predator/prey
relationships, parasitism,
crowding, and disease are
examples of density____________ limiting factors
dependent
Which are two ways a
population can decrease in
size?
decreased birthrate and emigration
The gray-brown haze often
found over large cities is called
smog
Who used a compound
microscope to see chambers
within cork and named them
“cells”?
Robert Hooke
What advance in technology
made the discovery of cells
possible?
the microscope
Cells are the basic units of life.
All living things are made of cells.
All cells are produced from
existing cells.
The following are principle of
the__________
cell theory
Looking at a cell under a
microscope, you note that the
cell lacks a nucleus. What kind
of cell is it?
prokaryote.
Give an example of a
prokaryotes?
bacteria
Which organelle converts the
chemical energy stored in food
into compounds that are more
convenient for the cell to use?
mitochondrion
Storing DNA is a
function of the
nucleus
Which organelle would you
expect to find in plant cells but
not animal cells?
chloroplast
Which of the following
structures serves as the cell’s
boundary from its
environment?
cell membrane
Which means of particle
transport requires input of
energy from the cell?
active transport
An ______________is a group
of organs that work together to
perform a specific function.
organ system
A group of similar cells that
perform a particular function is
called
a tissue.
__________ is released from
ATP when a phosphate group
is removed.
Energy
Organisms that cannot make
their own food and must obtain
energy from external sources
are called
heterotrophs
Autotrophs produce
carbohydrates during
photosynthesis
In the overall equation for
photosynthesis, six molecules
of carbon dioxide and six
molecules of water result in a
molecule of sugar and six
molecules of
oxygen.

respiration?
Water, Carbon dioxide, and ATP
Cellular respiration is called an
aerobic process because it
requires
oxygen
Where does glycolysis takes
place in the cell?
cytoplasm
Glycolysis requires how many
ATP to get the reaction started?
2 ATP
What are the electron carriers
that plays a role in cellular
respiration?
NAD+ and FAD+
