Understanding Key Biological Systems in Your Body
E N D
Presentation Transcript
As a system I am responsible for breaking down large food molecules into smaller nutrients the body can use. DIGESTIVE
I add surface area to the small intestine to slow down the food’s passage and to absorb nutrients. VILLI
All living things need these compounds. My family includes: amino acids, carbohydrates, proteins and lipids. ORGANIC
As a system I an responsible for moving materials through out your body. CIRCULATORY
My salivary glands secrete saliva which begins ________ digestion of starches into sugars. CHEMICAL
My process produces clone and requires only 1 parent for reproduction (1 word) ASEXUAL
Although I am teeth I act like a simple machine (wedge) and perform _________ digestion on your food. MECHANICAL
As a system I am responsible for exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide gasses. RESPIRATORY
I have 3 parts and disproved the idea of spontaneous generation. (2 WORDS) CELL THEORY
I am the elastic structure in your lungs where gas exchange takes place ALVEOLI
All my kids are the same, some use the term clone, but I prefer: UNIFORM
Cellular ___________ takes place in the mitochondria of all cells. The result is ATP an energy molecule. RESPIRATION
As I increase so does the health and sustainability of my ecosystem. BIODIVERSITY
I am the driving force behind adaptations and is some times thought of as “Survival of the Fittest” (2 words). Natural Selection
I have to play second banana to the nervous system, but at least I get to help control and coordinate your body. ENDOCRINE
I help with the mechanical digestion of lipids and am produced by the liver. BILE
I am semi-permeable and referred to as the gate keeper if you do not know the “password” you are not getting in or out. (2 words) CELL MEMBRANE
As a species I am not to blame if I edge out native species and decrease your biodiversity. You have tagged me as an _________ species INVASIVE
Not all producers are plants that’s why we prefer the term: AUTOTROPH
My ecosystem has been undergoing ________ succession due to a wildfire. SECONDARY
I capture the sun’s radiant energy and transform it into chemical energy. CHOLORPLAST
By using this method of reproduction we guarantee a greater mix of genetic material and a greater biodiversity. SEXUAL
All ecosystems want to continue indefinitely so we do all we can to maintain our: SUSTAINABILITY
Every good ecosystem strives to become a _________ community. CLIMAX
Sure takes a long time to create an ecosystem when you are starting with nothing but a bunch of rocks. I guess that’s why they call it _______ succession PRIMARY
I am the process that takes in sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce glucose and oxygen. PHOTOSYNTHESIS
Plant cells like by rigidity because I provide them with structure and support CELL WALL
Accomplishment means you have applied a force and moved an object some distance. I am calculated by multiplying: F x D WORK
If you have one or more of me, I can increase your chance of survival. ADAPTATION
My largest organ is the skin and I act as a barrier to protect the body. I am the __________ system. INTEGUMENTARY
Although I am part of the digestive system no digestion takes place, only absorption of water and dissolved nutrients. LARGE INTESTINES
Nothing can SUCK because I am defined as a push or a pull FORCE
I store all the data that codes for who you are and how you work. I am located in the nucleus. DNA
I am a special key that can not open any locks but I can help you identify an organism. DICHOTOMOUS
I am a plant’s circulatory system responsible for transporting necessary materials through the plant. XYLEM
Although I am small I have a critical job. I produce proteins for you. RIBOSOMES
Without my wave like contractions food could not move through your digestive system. PERISTALSIS
I am involved in a symbiotic relationship and help form soil. LICHEN
My system’s main go to worker is the kidney, without me you would become very toxic. EXCRETORY
I am responsible for producing ATP during cellular respiration. MITOCHONDRIA
Omnivore, Carnivore, Herbivore we are all a type of….. HETEROTROPH
Please keep me watered properly so that my vacuoles will stay full and maintain __________ pressure so I do not wilt. TURGOR
