Life cycle of a butterfly
Give this one a try later!
has 4 stages that make up a complete metamorphosis:
Egg -->
Larva -->
Pupa -->
Adult;
larva looks nothing like the adult and goes through a definite change
during pupa stage
Behavioral adaptation / learned characteristic
Give this one a try later!
, behavior adaptations or learned characteristics are behaviors that an
organism exhibits because they were taught either by their parents or they
were learned from their environment
Nectar
Give this one a try later!
sweet substance secreted from flowers that attracts insects;
when insects land on the flowers to get nectar, they spread the pollen
which is necessary for reproduction for plants
DNA
Give this one a try later!
Deoxyribonucleic acid is a type of nucleic acid and the genetic code for all
living organisms;
ladder-shaped molecule is genetic map that gives organisms their
characteristics
Parts of a plant
Give this one a try later!
, 4 basic parts:
1) roots: anchor the plant and absorb water and nutrients from soil
2) stems: give plant structure and carry water and nutrients from roots to
the rest of the plant and carry food from leaves to the rest of the plant
3) leaves: where photosynthesis occurs
4) flowers: reproductive part of plant
Respiratory system
Give this one a try later!
includes the nose, mouth, pharynx, bronchi, trachea, lungs, and diaphragm;
responsible for bringing oxygen into the body and releasing CO2
Competition
Give this one a try later!
struggle among organisms for basic needs like space, water, food, and
sunlight;
oak trees drop acorns that contain seeds for new trees;
acorns are dropped under the canopy of the mature tree so the sapling has
to compete with the mature tree for sunlight, water, and nutrients from the
soil
Taxonomic hierarchy
, Give this one a try later!
a classification system used to categorize all living organisms;
starts with most inclusive group according to characteristics and ends with
most specific;
organisms are sorted in each category by similarities;
8 major ranks:
Domain
Kingdom
Phylum
Class
Order
Family
Genus
Species
Ecosystem
