  1. 2. animals that have backbones and breastfeed their young
  2. 3. Transports water
  3. 6. grouping organisms based on common ancestors and characteristics.
  4. 9. _________ Immunity - occurs after a baby is born when it still has some of the cells that fight infection from its mother's blood.
  5. 10. old, simple
  6. 12. ___________ Plants - the oldest most primitive kind of plant; do not have roots, stems, leaves or vascular tissue (for transport)EX: Moss
  7. 16. Spot that takes in light; found in photosynthetic, single-celled organisms
  8. 18. when an organism depends on other organisms for nutrition because it cannot make its own food
  9. 19. when an organism uses processes like photosynthesis to make its own food.
  10. 20. Evolved more recently; HAVE a transport system (called vascular tissue)
Down
  1. 1. Active _________ - the immunity that you have gotten from being infected by a certain disease; cells that fight infection stay around for the rest of your life.
  2. 4. Whip like tail used for movement
  3. 5. ________ Evidence - comparing DNA or proteins; best evidence for evolution
  4. 7. animals that live near water; vertebrates, which means they have a backbone
  5. 8. Binomial __________ - naming organisms types with two names
  6. 10. Greek for "fake foot"; cytoplasm moves to engulf prey; Also aids in movement
  7. 11. injections that contain a small amount of the virus so that your body can see the disease and gain an immunity to the virus so you don't get sick.
  8. 13. small pieces of DNA covered in protein
  9. 14. Small, fine hairs also used for locomotion (movement)
  10. 15. __________ Vacuole - pumps excess water out of the cell by quickly contracting
  11. 17. transports food
