BENCHMARK REVIEW

As a system I am responsible for breaking down large food molecules into smaller nutrients the body can use. DIGESTIVE

I add surface area to the small intestine to slow down the food’s passage and to absorb nutrients. VILLI

All living things need these compounds All living things need these compounds. My family includes: amino acids, carbohydrates, proteins and lipids. ORGANIC

As a system I an responsible for moving materials through out your body. CIRCULATORY

My salivary glands secrete saliva which begins ________ digestion of starches into sugars. CHEMICAL

My process produces a clone and requires only 1 parent for reproduction (1 word) ASEXUAL

Although I am teeth I act like a simple machine (wedge) and perform _________ digestion on your food. MECHANICAL

As a system I am responsible for exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide gasses. RESPIRATORY

I have 3 parts and disproved the idea of spontaneous generation I have 3 parts and disproved the idea of spontaneous generation. (2 WORDS) CELL THEORY

I am the elastic structure in your lungs where gas exchange takes place ALVEOLI

All my kids are the same, some use the term clone, but I prefer: UNIFORM

I am the basic unit of life. CELL

Cellular ___________ takes place in the mitochondria of all cells Cellular ___________ takes place in the mitochondria of all cells. The result is ATP an energy molecule. RESPIRATION

As I increase so does the health and sustainability of my ecosystem. BIODIVERSITY

I have to play second banana to the nervous system, but at least I get to help control and coordinate your body. ENDOCRINE

I help with the mechanical digestion of lipids and am produced by the liver. BILE

I am semi-permeable and referred to as the gate keeper if you do not know the “password” you are not getting in or out. (2 words) CELL MEMBRANE

As a species I am not to blame if I edge out native species and decrease your biodiversity. You have tagged me as an _________ species INVASIVE

Not all producers are plants that’s why we prefer the term: AUTOTROPH

I capture the sun’s radiant energy and transform it into chemical energy. CHOLORPLAST

I am a genius and in command of my SMALL world NUCLEUS

By using this method of reproduction we guarantee a greater mix of genetic material and a greater biodiversity. SEXUAL

All ecosystems want to continue indefinitely so we do all we can to maintain our: SUSTAINABILITY

Our offspring are not uniform they are very….. DIVERSE

I am the process that takes in sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce glucose and oxygen. PHOTOSYNTHESIS

Plant cells like my rigidity because I provide them with structure and support CELL WALL

Accomplishment means you have applied a force and moved an object some distance. I am calculated by multiplying: F x D WORK

If you have one or more of me, I can increase your chance of survival. ADAPTATION

My largest organ is the skin and I act as a barrier to protect the body. I am the __________ system. INTEGUMENTARY

Although I am part of the digestive system no digestion takes place, only absorption of water and dissolved nutrients. LARGE INTESTINE

I am defined as a push or a pull FORCE

Who am I? I am found in the nucleus and carry hereditary information from one generation to the next in the form of genes. CHROMOSOMES

I store all the data that codes for who you are and how you work I store all the data that codes for who you are and how you work. I am located in the chromosomes. DNA

I am a special key that can not open any locks but I can help you identify an organism. DICHOTOMOUS

I am a plant’s circulatory system responsible for transporting necessary materials through the plant. XYLEM

My job is to filter blood to remove waste. KIDNEY

I am the unit of measurement for work. JOULE

Which one takes more work? Pushing a box up a ramp into a moving truck or bringing each box up without the ramp? They both use the same amount of work except the distance is increased over a greater distance by using the ramp which makes it feel like the work is easier.

When is work performed? If you are pushing a car and the car does not move are you still doing work if your muscles are aching and you are sweating and tired? No, you are not because the car has not moved. If it does not move in the direction of the force, then no work is performed.

Although I am small I have a critical job. I produce proteins for you. RIBOSOMES

Without my wave like contractions food could not move through your digestive system. PERISTALSIS

My system’s main go to worker is the kidney, without me you would become very toxic. EXCRETORY

I am responsible for producing ATP during cellular respiration. MITOCHONDRIA

Omnivore, Carnivore, Herbivore we are all a type of….. HETEROTROPH

Please keep me watered properly so that my vacuoles will stay full and maintain __________ pressure so I do not wilt. TURGOR

Review the levels of organization. What is the smallest example Review the levels of organization. What is the smallest example. (Remember that cells have special names when they have a special function, i.e., neuron Cells -> Tissue -> Organ -> Organ System -> Organism

Photosynthesis Radiant energy (sunlight/visible light) is trapped by chloroplast and converted by chlorophyll into chemical energy in the form of glucose (sugar)

Food Chain Identify the producers and first and second level consumers in this food chain

Energy in a Food Chain What happens to energy as it passes through a food chain?

Energy Pyramid

What do the arrows in a food web show?

Key Concepts Key Concept 1: Compounds contain carbon are called organic compounds. Key Concept 2: Many organic compounds often contain hydrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, nitrogen and sulfur, in addition to carbon. Key Concept 3: All living things are made up of organic compounds.

Stimulus A change in an organism’s surroundings that causes the organism to react

Response An action or change in behavior that occurs as the result of a stimulus

Cell Theory What are the three parts to the cell theory? All living things are made of cells All cells come from pre-existing cells Cells are the basic structure and function of living things. Evidence of cell theory?? Give examples

What drives biodiversity (what at the cellular level causes it?) The sustainability (the quality of not being harmful to the environment or depleting natural resources, and thereby supporting long-term ecological balance of species) of a species in an ecosystem. Genetic code- DNA

How are managed areas such as tree farms and fisheries different in regards to biodiversity than a comparable natural area? Is there greater biodiversity, less, or the same? View the pictures on the next slide and write your answer
