Question 19

What tasks do cells perform to stay alive?

Answer 19

-Transport
(cells grab what they need from around them)
-Diffusion
(Movement of substances from a high to low gradient)
-Osmosis
(Movement of water from a low salute concentration to a high salute concentration)
-Exocytosis
(the cell ejecting things)
-Endocytosis
(The cell taking in things)
-Pinocytosis
(Drinking a liquid or really small stuff)
-Phagocytosis
(Eating a bigger thing)

Question 20

A creature that must eat other creatures is called a

Answer 20

Heterotroph

Hetero- other
Troph- feeding

Question 21

A creature able to make its own food is called an

Answer 21

Autotroph

Auto- self
Troph- feeding

Question 22

Aptosis

Answer 22

A programmed cell death

Question 23

Cells use proteins called __________ talk to each other

Answer 23

Hormones

Question 24

Metabolism

Answer 24

Anabolism + Catabolism= Metabolism

The sum total of all chemical interactions going on in an organism (not just breaking down your food)

Question 25

Cell respiration

Answer 25

Cell respiration takes glucose and oxygen and turns them into energy, carbon dioxide and water.

Question 26

Photosynthesis

Answer 26

Plants use energy from the Sun along with carbon dioxide and water to make glucose and oxygen.

Question 27

Photosynthesis

Answer 27

Plants use energy from the Sun along with carbon dioxide and water to make glucose and oxygen.

Question 28

What are the three steps of cell respiration?

Answer 28

Glycolysis- the glucose is broken into pieces that will be used in the next phase Krebs cycle- the pyruvic acid is used to charge up high energy molecules that will use their energy in the next phase Electron transport chain- the high energy electrons power enzymes that built ATP
