Term
| What are some difference and similarities between plants and animal at a cellular level? |
|
Definition
Animal cells are balloons and plant cells are soccer balls (they can withstand turgor pressure)
Plant cells can do everything that an animal cell can do and they also have chloroplasts and a cell wall. |

Term
| What is the difference in body composition between plants and animals? |
|
Definition
Main tissues of plants: Dermal, vascular, and ground
Main tissues of animals: epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous, organized into multiple organs |
|
|
Term
| What is the difference in movement between plants and animals? |
|
Definition
Plants are rooted and can't really 'move' in the traditional sense so their sense is to fight or fight and must cope with changes.
Animals have a fight or flight response, and mostly can move |

Term
| Why do organisms need energy? |
|
Definition
Development, growth, maintenance, and repair
Organisms have a very low entropy because we are very organized; but we want to go to a high entropy according to physics, so we must use energy to maintain our entropy level. |
|
|
Term
| Compare and contrast how plants and animals gather energy and use it |
|
Definition
plants: sunlight, and can use carbs, fats, proteins as well. 'eat co2 and h20 and inorganic molecules (Inorganic molecules to simple organic to complex organic to simple molecules)
Animals: take complex molecules and make into simple molecules (eat plants, and other animals (organic matter)) |

Term
| What are some cellular components that are shared between eukaryotes? |
|
Definition
| Nucleus, mitochondria, plasma membrane, ER, and golgi. |
|
|
Term
| Which complex molecules can drive the mitochondrial transport chain? |
|
Definition
| Proteins, carbohydrates, and fats and lipids |
|
|
Term
| Why do organisms need building blocks? |
|
Definition
| Organisms need building blocks to grow and maintain their tissues, as they are made of proteins, carbs, and fats. |
|
|
Term
| Where do plants get their building blocks? |
|
Definition
| From inorganic molecules from the air and soil |
|
|
Term
| Where do animals get their building blocks? |
|
Definition
| From other organic organisms |
