Organ System Interactions: Essential Concepts in Biology

Explore the intricate system of cells, tissues, organs, and functions in living organisms. Learn about key processes such as photosynthesis and cellular respiration and understand how stimuli shape behavior and adaptations crucial for survival. Delve into the structures and functions that distinguish invertebrates and vertebrates, and discover the unique qualities of ectotherms and endotherms. Unravel the characteristics and differences among mammals, reptiles, and amphibians in this comprehensive guide to biological concepts.

Presentation Transcript

  1. System A group of objects or phenomena that interact or work together.

  2. Classification Grouping based upon shared characteristics.

  3. Cell Smallest living unit that is able to perform the basic functions of life.

  4. Tissue Group of cells that work together.

  5. Organ 2 or more types of tissue that work together to perform a function.

  6. Photosynthesis The process plants use to capture energy from sunlight and convert it to chemical energy. lllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllll Lllllllllllll Llll Lll Lllllll lllll

  7. Cellular Respiration Process in whichcells use oxygen to release energy stored in sugars.

  8. Stimulus Something that produces a response from an organism.

  9. Behavior An organisms action in response to a stimulus.

  10. Adaptation Characteristic, behavior, or inherited trait. Makes a species able to survive in a particular environment.

  11. Characteristic Trait. Attribute. Distinguishing feature.

  12. Structure The framework of something; How it is put together.

  13. Function The natural action of something; How it works.

  14. Invertebrate An animal that does not have a backbone.

  15. Vertebrate Animal that has a backbone.

  16. Exoskeleton A strong outer covering made of chitin. Protects cells, tissues and organs. Some invertebrates have them.

  17. Endoskeleton Internal support system. Grows as the animal grows. Vertebrates have them.

  18. Ectotherm Animals whose bodytemperature changes with the environment. (Cold blooded.)

  19. Endotherm Animals that maintain a constantbodytemperature. (Warm blooded.)

  20. Mammal • Warm-blooded • vertebrates • Females give • birth to live • young • Have hair, • produce milk

  21. Reptile • Cold-blooded • vertebrates • Covered with • scales or horny plates • Have lungs

  22. Amphibian • Cold-blooded • vertebrates • Babies • live in water • and use gills • Adults • live on land • and use • lungs
