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