Biology

• Sepal


  Protects the flower bud as it is forming
• Ecosystem


  A community of organisms and their interacting environment
• Organism

  • A living thing
• Habitat


  The environment where an organism or a population lives
• Population


  Organisms of the same species living in the same habitat
• Increasing size


  1. Organism

  2. Population

  3. Community

  4. Ecosystem
• Habitat


  The environments where a species lives
• Habitats provide the environments where species live
• MRS C GREN
• ECOLOGY

  ecosystem - is a community of interacting organisms and their enviroment
• ORGANISM - a living thing
• HABITATS - The physical environment in which an organism lives and the factors that influence its distribution
• POPULATION - The total number of individuals of the SAME species in a particular area at a given time.
• COMMUNITY - When all organisms are living in a specific place.
• ADAPTATIONS - an organism's certain features, behaviours, characteristics that allow them to live successfully in its habitat.
• 3 MAIN ADAPTATIONS

  • Structural
  • behavioural
  • physiological
• Purpose of Respiration - to produce energy from food/glucose.

  equation - Glucose + Oxygen -> Carbon dioxide + energy
• chlorophyll - natural compound in green plants which gives them their colour
• Nucleus - contains genetic material (DNA)
• Cell membrane - controls what enters or leaves the cell
• Germination is when the embryo/root of the young plant in the seed begins to grow. 
• The XYLEM carries water from the roots upwards to the leaves.
•  The PHLOEM carries sugar from leaves to all the cells in the plant. 
• TRANSPIRATION is the movement of water up the stem. 
• Pollination - It is to be transferred from a flower to another, the pollen comes from the anther, and transferred to another’s flower’s stigma
• Rongoa - Rongoā is traditional Māori medicine.
• Harakeke - ropes, fishing lines, net making, bone splint, ringworm, cuts etc.
• Kawakawa - medicine for eczema, cuts, wounds, skin conditions, NZ pepper etc.
• Manuka - reduces fevers, poultice, spots, worms, VD, disinfectant, itchy skin etc.
• Parts of a seed -

  Testa(seed coat), Cotyledon and Embryo.
• Mauri - Life force of the environment. (every part of nature must be healthy.)
• Manuka - Honey
• Kawakawa - healing medicine
• harakeke - flax weaving
• Mitochondria - This is an organelle that generates energy for the cell.
• "you'll be farting all day then" - Mr Scoones 3/05/2024
• Respiration takes place in the organelle mitochondria.
• Red blood has O2

  Blue Blood has cO2
• Chlorophyll is the reason on why plants are green.
• Carbon Dioxide enters through the plant by the stomata
