Biology Summary Of December The 21ST. Feeding: Is the capacity LO have to take solid food (as animals do), digest it first and absorb it later (like Fungi do) or built up for themselves -Photosynthesis- (like plants do). (p. 293) Breathing: Is the capacity LO have to take in oxygen and give out carbon dioxide. The Exchange of Gases: Locomotion: Is the capacity most single-celled creatures and animals have to move about as a whole. Fungi and Plants, move with some parts of their bodies. Respiration: (Glucose + 6O2 + 6H2O + Energy) Breaking down process. Is the capacity LO have to break-down food to obtain energy. Most need oxygen. (p. 19) Excretion: Breaking down process. Is the capacity LO have to respire and other chemical changes in the cells that produce waste products such as Carbon Dioxide. Irritability: Irritability is an excessive response to stimuli. The term is used for both the physiological reaction to stimuli and for the pathological, abnormal or excessive sensitivity to stimuli; it is usually used to refer to anger or frustration. Adaptability: Is a necessary skill for leaders to develop in order to respond effectively to this change. Growing: Is the capacity Bacteria and Single-celled creatures have to increase in size. Many-celled organism increase the numbers of cells in their bodies change their body shape and size. (p. 306) Reproduction: Is the capacity single-celled organisms and Bacteria to simply keep dividing into two. Many-celled plants and animals may reproduce sexually or asexually. Sexual Reproduction characteristics (meiosis/gametes production/mitosis) Meiosis is a form of cell reproduction. This process takes place in the sex cells. It is a process of cell division in which a diploid cell (2n)
