Across
  1. 3. senses that detect environmental conditions
  2. 8. deoxyribonucleic acid, present in all living organisms. It is the carrier of genetic information.
  3. 11. Control center of the cell
  4. 12. The measurable effect, outcome, or response in which the research is interested. (the Data)
  5. 16. The organs and glands in the body that aid in the production of new individuals
  6. 18. First and largest category used to classify organisms Ex: Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, Protista, Bacteria
  7. 19. Change in types of living organisms over time
  8. 20. Consisting of many cells
  9. 23. A group of similar cells that perform the same function.
  10. 26. A feedback loop in which a system responds to a change by returning to its original state, or by decreasing the rate at which the change is occurring.
  11. 27. all the chemical changes that occur in the body
  12. 28. A single celled organism
  13. 29. Breaks down food into smaller molecules. Absorbs these nutrients into the body.
  14. 31. Maintaining a stable internal condition of an organism, like heart rate, blood oxygen level, temperature, removal of wastes
  15. 32. An individual living thing
  16. 33. The system that removes waste from your body and controls water balance
Down
  1. 1. A feedback loop in which change in a system is amplified
  2. 2. A unicellular organism that LACKS a nucleus and membrane bound organelles
  3. 4. Specialized structure that performs important cellular functions within a eukaryotic cell
  4. 5. The experimental factor that is manipulated; the variable whose effect is being studied. (What I change)
  5. 6. A group of organs that work together to perform a specific function
  6. 7. Organelle found in cells of plants and some other organisms that captures the energy from sunlight and converts it into chemical energy
  7. 8. The information, like measurements, that are collected during an experiment
  8. 9. System that provides a flow of nutrients throughout the body
  9. 10. glands that respond to changes in the environment
  10. 13. the capacity to do work
  11. 14. Contracts and moves various parts of the body and supports the skeletal system
  12. 15. The hard structure (bones and cartilages) that provides a frame for the body of an animal
  13. 17. A factor in the environment that causes a change to occur in an organism, like cold causes you to shiver
  14. 21. The basic unit of structure and function in all living things
  15. 22. A collection of tissues that carry out a specialized function of the body
  16. 24. producing offspring either sexually or asexually
  17. 25. Allows the body to sense and respond to its environment; helps maintain homeostasis.
  18. 30. A cell that contains a nucleus and membrane bound organelles
