adaptation

a physical feature or behavior that helps an animal get food, protect itself, move, or reproduce

cell

the smallest unit of a living thing that can perform all life processes
surrounds the outer area of the cell and controls what substances move in and out of the cell found in plant cells outside the cell membrane that supports and protects the cell

cell membrane

cell wall

chloroplasts

the special parts in plant cells that trap the Sun's energy

cytoplasm

gel-like liquid found in cells that contains things needed to carry out its life processes
instinct behaviors are inherited ( born with) andlearned behaviors are a result of training or changes in experience.

explain the difference between instinct and learned behaviors.

genus

a group of closely related living things

a state of inactivity that occurs in some animals when outside temperatures are cold

hibernation

invertebrates

animals without a backbone

kingdoms

the largest classification groups of living things

ancient bacteria, true bacteria, protists, fungi, plants, animals

kingdoms of living things

migration

traveling in search of food or a place to reproduce arthropods, worms, sponges, sea stars, and mollusks
birds have feathers to fly; polar bears have thick fur; crab eating seals have teeth that can sift krill.

name groups of invertebrates. name some adaptations of animals.

name some adaptations to avoid predators. name some nonvascular plants.

tricking enemies with colors and markings; blending in with surroundings;poisonous glands; and the ability to escape

mosses, hornworts, liverworts

name some vascular bamboo, grass, trees plants. fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals

name the groups of vertebrates.

Name the largest group of animals.

invertebrates

Name the smaller groups of the animal kingdom.

kingdom,phylum,class,order,family,genus,species

name the two groups plants that produce of plants by seeds and plants that reproduction. produce spores name two groups of seed plants.
flowering plants (ex. apple trees) and conifers (ex. evergreens) how they transport water and nutrients and how they reproduce

name ways to classify plants.

nucleus

the control center of the cell

organs

made up of groups of tissues that work together

species

a group of similar organisms that can mate and produce offspring that can also produce offspring

systems

made up of groups of organs that work together made of groups of the same type of cells animals with backbones

tissue

vertebrates

what are conifers?

plants that produce seed in cones

plants without a tube like system...they pass water and nutrients only from one cell to the cell next to it.

what are non vascular plants?

what are some characteristics scientists use to classify organisms?

the organisms' features such as body parts and certain behaviors tiny cells that grow on ferns and mosses that can grow into a new plant

what are spores

what are the largest group of invertebrates?

anthropods (ex. insects, spiders, crab, and shrimp)

what are vascular plants?

plants that have tube like structures that move water and nutrients to the organs of the plant.

what do animals need to survive?

Which kingdoms have living things that can make their own food?

food, water, oxygen, and shelter ancient bacteria, true bacteria, protists,and plants All living things are made of cells.
it helps them to study and compare living things in an organized way.

Why are cells called the building blocks of life?

why is a classification system important to scientists?
