Term
Important points on environment with living organisms (What plants and animals need in their environment, how plants get more light, different types of eyes)
Definition
Plants need light, air, water, and nutrients in their environment. Animals need air, water, food, and shelter in their environment. Plants bend towards the light source. In nocturnal eyes the cornea is on the full front portion of the eye, the lens is much larger as well as the retina. In diurnal eyes the cornea and the pupil are raised, (like a bump) the lens is quite small and the retina is thinner.
Term
Important points on waste with living organisms (Plants and animals waste, and what plants and animals take in)
Definition
Plants take in animals waste (carbon dioxide) and produce oxygen through photosynthesis. Animals breathe in oxygen and their waste is carbon dioxide, urine, and feces.
Term
Important points on adaption with living organisms (What is adaption)
Definition
Organisms change to be better suited to its environment.
Term
Important points on energy with living organisms (How plants and animals get energy,
Definition
Plants use sunlight, co2, and water to make oxygen and sugars through photosynthesis. Animals get their energy from their food.
Term
Important points on reproduction with living organisms(What plants and animals need to reproduce)
Definition
Plants have male and female parts that allow them to produce seeds. Animals need a mal and female. The baby animal grows inside the female's uterus.
Term
Important points on growth with living organisms (What living things need to grow)
Definition
Living things need water, energy, environment, and reproduction to grow.
Term
Important points on cells and specialized cells with living organisms. (What cells make up and what that makes up, WHat are specialized cells)
Definition
Major organs are made of tissue and tissue is made of tiny living things called cells. Specialized cells are cells that have a specific task they must carry out.
