Question

Metamorphosis

Answer 1

a change from one stage to the next in an organism’s life cycle

Answer 2

the part of a plant's reproductive system that holds pollen

Answer 3

Animals that usually don't have a backbone, have a hard shell (exoskeleton), three body parts (head, thorax, abdomen), antennae, and three sets of legs.

Answer 4

Warm-blooded animals usually have three bones in their ears, hair, and give their young milk.

Answer 5

the male sexual part of a plant; includes the anther and filament

Answer 6

Proteins that are like threads give a cell its shape and allow it to move. Support beams and walkways

Answer 7

Plant and animal cells have a clear, jelly-like fluid that is mostly water. Factory Floor

Answer 8

type of tree that doesn't lose all of its leaves at a certain time (like winter).

Answer 9

A cell's soft barrier that holds in the cytoplasm. Proteins in this membrane control how chemicals move into and out of the cell. Doors and security guards

Answer 10

Cold-blooded animals with dry, scaly skin that have a backbone. Stay on the land. Ex: snake

Answer 11

Decomposers are eukaryotic, multicellular, heterotrophic creatures that eat dead matter.(decomposers) Ex: mushrooms

Answer 12

makes hormones that other parts of the body use to control, respond, or grow.

Answer 13

Microorganisms with only one cell that can be round, spiral, or rod-shaped. Prokaryotic (no nucleus). Can be both good and bad. Typically encountered by humans

Answer 14

The ovary, style, and stigma are all parts of a plant's female reproductive systems.

Answer 15

protects the body from sickness and infection and gets rid of water that has built up around the organs.

Answer 16

Small hairs that stick out of intestinal cells to improve surface area for better absorption of nutrients.

Answer 17

process in which creatures use food, like sugar, to make energy and waste.

Answer 18

Protein cells that give tendons, ligaments, bone, and skin their shape and support

Answer 19

transports material (ex: oxygen) throughout the body

Answer 20

single-celled, but neither an animal nor a plant nor a fungus.

Answer 21

breaks down food through physical and chemical reactions, and then either takes it (in the small intestine) or gets rid of it (in the rectum).

Answer 22

Specialized cells that either receive messages or send them

Answer 23

protects the body from outside substances, maintains its temperature, and excretes water and salt through perspiration.

Answer 24

a four-stage cycle where the young look nothing like the adults. has four parts: the egg, the larva, the pupa, and the adult. Ex: butterflies

Answer 25

All living creatures can be grouped. Domains come first, followed by species.

Answer 26

makes gametes (sperm for males and eggs for females) and helps make babies.

Answer 27

Asexual development involves branching off from the main organism.

Answer 28

The organelle that makes ATP from chemical energy. This part of the cell is often called the "powerhouse"

Answer 29

Sexual reproduction uses one plant's DNA. Plant pollen fertilizes its own egg.

Answer 30

any living thing with a type of cell that has a nucleus and parts Larger than prokaryotic

Answer 31

eukaryotic, multicellular, autotrophic creatures (producers)

Answer 32

sexual reproduction by pollen from one plant fertilizing the egg of another plant

Answer 33

Convert fuel and food

Answer 34

organelle that makes proteins for the cell Workers

Answer 35

information, processes it, and then tells the body how to react to it.

Answer 36

membrane-bound structures with specific roles. Found in all eukaryotic cells Little organs

Answer 37

the part of a plant with unspecialized cells, usually at the ends of shoots and roots

Answer 38

a type of evaporation in which water leaves the surface of plant leaves as mist.

Answer 39

Type of plant that does not have an internal transport system

Answer 40

In flowers, the top part of the pistil, where pollen starts to grow.

Answer 41

Single-celled organisms that sometimes live in places where life wasn't supposed to be found, like around hot water vents deep in the ocean.

Answer 42

male plant gametes

Answer 43

Stores fat to protect and cushion the organs of the body Ex: fat

Answer 44

Found throughout the body in the bones, blood, and adipose (fat)

Answer 45

Only one parent's genes are used to make a new baby. Mitosis makes offspring that are genetically the same as their parents.

Answer 46

Animal cells have an organelle that has enzymes that break down big molecules. When it dies, it breaks down the cell. Custodians

Answer 47

Found in intestines, skin and blood vessels Ex: skin, hair

Answer 48

any living thing with cells that doesn't have a nuclear membrane

Answer 49

moves parts of the body that work with the skeleton (like a leg) or materials (like food through the intestines or blood through the heart). Ex: bicep muscle

Answer 50

a three-stage cycle where kids look different from adults, but not as drastically as in total metamorphosis. egg, larva (nymph), and adult;

Answer 51

Molecules like sugar (glucose) and starch that are used as a quick source of energy

Answer 52

Are amino acids. Different functions like enzymes speed up chemical reactions, but breaking down proteins releases energy

Answer 53

organelle that transport materials throughout the cell. Utility Carts

Answer 54

The force of water against the vacuole of a plant cell, which gives it a rigid look.

Answer 55

controls the amount of water in the blood and gets rid of waste. Ex: kidneys
