What's ALL LIFE PROCESSES that make up an organism _______________?
Metabolism
What causes disease and death?
Failure to maintain homeostasis
____________ make their own food, while ____________ eat other organisms.
1. Autotrophs
2.Heterotrophs
What is photosynthesis?
It is carried out by plants, algea and blue-green bacteria( autotrohs). It takes the radiant energy of the sun and puts it in the bonds of sugar molecules. PHOTOSYNTHESISoccurs mostly in theCHLOROPLAST of PLANT CELLS.
What do plants have?
Stomates
What is a stomate?
it's small holes in their leaves that let them exchange the gasses used in photosynthesis.
Guard CellsP.S. they don't guard the cell!!!!!!!!!
they open and close the stomates
Respiration
Organisms get energy by breaking the bonds of sugar molecules. The released energy is used to make a molecule of ATP, which gives all organisms their energy. -Takes place in the mitochondria
Aerobic Respiration
requires oxygen, and more ATP(energy) for a molecule of sugar than anaerobic (no oxygen) respiration.
What is diffusion?
movent of molecules from high concentration to low concentration which requires no energy( passive transport)
Active Transport
requires the use of energy, usually moving molecules from a low to high concentration( against the flow of diffusion)
What is osmosis?
thediffusion of water into or out of the cell.
What systems does: CORDINATIONand CONTROL occur in
