choloroplast - an organelle that makes food from sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide. cytoplasm - the gel-like material that surrounds the internal parts of the cell diffusion - process that spreads substances through a gas or liquid from higher to lower concentration nucleus- a part of a cell that directs all cell activities and carries information for cell reproduction a structure that has a specific task within the cell osmosis - a type of diffusion that allows water to pass but not the solutes in the water Lesson 2 - Cells Continued circulatory system - organ system that carries oxygen to the body and removed carbon dioxide and other wastes. hormone - The chemical message that travels throught eh blood and carries special information for certain cells Musculoskeletal system - organ system that supports all parts of your body and allows you to move different parts of your body nervous system - the organ system - made up of the brain and other nevers - that controls movement and other organ systems organ - two or more types of tissue that work together to perform a function tissue - group of cells with a common structure and function. Lesson 3 - Disease vs. Cells immune system - an organ system that fights disease and foreign agents infectious disease - a disease caused by organisms or viruses noninfectious disease - a disease caused by malfunction of an organ system Lesson 1 - Classification
bacteria - small, single celled organisms that do not have a nucleus dichotomous key - a tool used to identify organisms based on contrasting pairs of characteristics fungi- A kingdom of organisms, with a nucleus, that get nutrients by decomposing other organisms. kingdom - the highest level of biological classification protist - a single - celled or multicellular organism that may share characteristics with plants, fungi and animals. protozoa - Animal-like protists, including amoebas and paramecium Lesson 2 - Plants angiosperm - a vasucular plant that produces seeds from flowers gymonosperm - A vascular plant that produces seeds, but not flowers or fruits. nonvascular - lacking a water - transport system vascular - Having a tube-like water-transport system Lesson 3 - Animals amphibian - a vertebrate that begins its life in water but lives part of the time on land cnidarian - invertebrate with raidal symmetry, a saclike body, a true mouth, and the ability to digest food. Invertebrate - an animal without a backbone symmetry - matching form on opposite sides of a dividing line vertebrate - an animal with a backbone ![]()
