• The mitochondria are considered the "powerhouse" of eukaryotic cells because they are the sites of cellular respiration where the majority of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the cell's primary energy currency, is generated.
• Mitochondria are double-membraned organelles found in most eukaryotic cells, and they play a crucial role in producing energy through aerobic respiration, which involves the breakdown of glucose and other organic molecules to generate ATP in the presence of oxygen.
• The protein shell of a virus is called Capsid
• HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus
• The use of a products containing chlorofluorocarbons is discouraged because they contribute to the depletion of the zone layer.
• Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, primarily through their leaves, use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen
• Roots primarily function in anchorage, water absorption, and nutrient uptake
• it is describe as the lifeline of the body, body's pick up and delievery system. circulatory system
• DNA MEANS DEOXYRIBONUCLEICACID
• the growth of roots towards water is an example of hydrotropism
• monosaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides are types of Carbohydrates
• The male sex hormone is testosterone, and the female sex hormones are estrogen and progesterone.
• blue has the greatest energy
• chlorophyll is primarily found in the chloroplasts of plant cells.
• An omnivore is an animal that consumes both plant and animal matter. They have a varied diet that includes fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts, meat, fish, insects, and other organisms. Examples of omnivores include humans, bears, raccoons, and pigs.
• A carnivore is an animal that primarily consumes meat as its main source of nutrition. Carnivores have specialized teeth and digestive systems adapted for consuming and digesting animal flesh. Examples of carnivores include lions, tigers, wolves, and eagles.
• An insectivore is an animal that primarily consumes insects and other invertebrates as its main source of nutrition. Insectivores have specialized adaptations, such as sharp teeth or long tongues, for catching and consuming insects. Examples of insectivores include anteaters, shrews, hedgehogs, and certain birds like swifts and swallows.
• Lipids are fatty compounds that perform a variety of functions in your body. They're part of your cell membranes and help control what goes in and out of your cells. They help with moving and storing energy, absorbing vitamins and making hormones. Having too much of some lipids is harmful.
• The three types of lipids are triglycerides (stored fats), phospholipids (part of all cell membranes) and steroids (e.g., cholesterol).
• A detritivore is an organism that feeds on detritus, which consists of dead organic matter such as dead plant material, animal remains, feces, and other organic debris
• Humans typically have 46 chromosomes in their cells, organized into 23 pairs. These consist of 22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes XX in females and XY in males. Reproductive cells (sperm and egg cells) contain only 23 chromosomes each.
• Endosymbiosis is a biological phenomenon where one organism lives inside another organism in a mutually beneficial relationship. This term is commonly used to describe the theory of the origin of eukaryotic cells, particularly the mitochondria and chloroplasts, which are organelles found within eukaryotic cells.
• Nutrients are absorbed primarily in the small intestine, which is the longest part of the digestive tract. The small intestine is divided into three sections: the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum.
• A relationship between two living things by which one is benefited while the other is neither harmed nor benefited is called Commensalism
