    phylum
    class
    order
    family
    genus
    species
  • biological species concepts means that members of the same species can intervreed
  • biological species concept important to the scientists is because it gives them a snapshot of evolution of new species in many group if plants and animals
  • biodiversity is the variation of living organisms from different sources.
  • slaivary amylase - breaks down starches into simpler sugar
  • pepsin - break downs proteins
  • peptidase - breakdown proteins into amino acids
  • Mouth -start of mechanical digestion
  • Tongue - pushes the bolus into the Pharynx which is the passageway for air, food, and water.
  • food is then delivered to the esophagus.
  • Stomach- start of initial protein digestion.
  • Small Intestine - site for nutrient absorption and final digestion.
  • Large intestine - It absorbs water from the remaining undigested material
  • Maltase, lactase, sucrase -Breaks down sugars into simpler mlecules
  • Trypsin and Chymotripsin - Continue the breakdown of proteins
  • Amylase - Continues the breakdown of starches
  • Lipase - Aids in breaking down fats
  • biomass is the total mass if an organism in a food chain or a food web
  • food web is a complex interconnected group of food chain
  • oxygen-carbon dioxide shows interdependence between plants and animals for these important gases.
  • mitosis produces 2 diploid identical daughter cells
  • meiosis produces 4 haploid daughter cells
  • 4 spermatids are formed after spermatogenesis
  • 1 ootids and 3 polar bodies are formed after oogenesis
  • when plant photosynthesize, they use carbon dioxide and produces oxygen.
  • oxygen produced by plant in photosynthesis is used by animals to respire.
  • during respiration, plants use oxygen and produces carbon dioxide
  • animals take in oxygen from the atmosphere and give off carbon dioxide during respiration
  • nitrogen fixation - the process of combining nitrogen with hydrogen to form ammonia
