Biology EOC

food web

• a community of organisms where there are several interrelated food chains

• diagram that shows the transfer of oxygen from one organism to another

• transports genetic material from the sun to other organisms

• a group of similar organisms that can breed and produce offspring

cohesion

• water sticks to other substances

• water sticks to water

• ice is less dense

• water dissolves many substances

osmosis

• change in DNA sequence

• movement of particles across a membrane using energy

• diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane

• requires oxygen

ovaries

• female glands that produce egg cells

• male glands that produce sperm

• where fertilization takes place

• where implantation takes place

allele

• control center of the cell

• makes proteins

• different forms of a gene

• sex cell

dominant

• the allele that is always expressed

• the allele that is masked

• having a full set of chromosomes

• having half the number of chromosomes

pistil

• produces pollen

• male reproductive part of a flower

• female reproductive part of a flower

• attracts pollinators

testes

• produce eggs

• produce pollen

• where fertilization takes place

• produce sperm

mutualism

• obtaining energy from consuming other organisms

• both organisms benefit

• one organism benefits and the other is unaffected

• one organism benefits and the other is harmed

producers

• get energy from consuming other organisms

• get energy from all organisms in a food web

• organism that eats only meat

• organism that makes its own food
