Key Terms –
Mitosis – the process of one cell dividing into two equal and identical cells; makes body cells
Meiosis – the process of one cell divides two times to make sex cells with half the number of chromosomes of a body cell
![Page 16: Life Science Review of Grade 6 Science. Classification of Organisms Taxonomy – the science of describing, classifying, and naming living things Carolus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081504/56649f005503460f94c1612f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Photosynthesis
the process that plants use to capture energy from the sun and change it into food
happens in the chloroplast chlorophyll, a green pigment in leaves, converts
sunlight into food carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight energy is
turned into sugar or food (glucose) and oxygen
![Page 17: Life Science Review of Grade 6 Science. Classification of Organisms Taxonomy – the science of describing, classifying, and naming living things Carolus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081504/56649f005503460f94c1612f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Cellular respiration
the process used by complex organisms, such as humans, to get energy from food
happens in the mitochondrion food-sugar (glucose), oxygen is turned into
carbon dioxide, water, and energy (ATP)
![Page 18: Life Science Review of Grade 6 Science. Classification of Organisms Taxonomy – the science of describing, classifying, and naming living things Carolus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081504/56649f005503460f94c1612f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Reproduction and Heredity
Reproduction – involves creating an entire organism
![Page 19: Life Science Review of Grade 6 Science. Classification of Organisms Taxonomy – the science of describing, classifying, and naming living things Carolus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081504/56649f005503460f94c1612f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Two Methods of Reproduction –
Asexual reproduction
Sexual reproduction
![Page 20: Life Science Review of Grade 6 Science. Classification of Organisms Taxonomy – the science of describing, classifying, and naming living things Carolus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081504/56649f005503460f94c1612f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Asexual reproduction –
the offspring (young) has only one parent the offspring are clones of their single
parent by mitosis (exact copies of the original cell)
algae, bacteria, strawberries (runners), tubers (white potatoes), bulbs (tulips, onions), regeneration (planaria, starfish)
![Page 21: Life Science Review of Grade 6 Science. Classification of Organisms Taxonomy – the science of describing, classifying, and naming living things Carolus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081504/56649f005503460f94c1612f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Sexual reproduction –
the offspring has two parents the offspring form when a sperm and an egg
join by a process called fertilization offspring have some of the traits of both
parents and other traits not visible in the parents but nonetheless present offspring
the offspring have genetic material from both parents
![Page 22: Life Science Review of Grade 6 Science. Classification of Organisms Taxonomy – the science of describing, classifying, and naming living things Carolus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081504/56649f005503460f94c1612f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The nucleus -
contains the organism’s genetic material contains 46 chromosomes (threadlike
strands of DNA that carry the code or genes telling the traits the organisms will have)
![Page 23: Life Science Review of Grade 6 Science. Classification of Organisms Taxonomy – the science of describing, classifying, and naming living things Carolus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081504/56649f005503460f94c1612f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Gametes –
are the sex cells (eggs and sperm) contain 23 chromosome (half the number
of chromosomes found in a body cell) made in the reproductive organs made by a process called meiosis (the
number of chromosomes in the gamete is reduced by half)
![Page 24: Life Science Review of Grade 6 Science. Classification of Organisms Taxonomy – the science of describing, classifying, and naming living things Carolus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081504/56649f005503460f94c1612f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Key Terms –
dominant trait – the trait that appears in an offspring when two different genes are mixed
recessive trait – the trait that does not appear when two different genes are mixed; for a recessive trait to be seen, two recessive genes must be present
zygote – is the single cell formed when the egg and sperm unite; a fertilized egg
embryo – is the name of the fertilized egg once it begins dividing by mitosis
variation – differences in traits among individuals of a species

Organ Systems and their FunctionsCirculatory the blood carries food, oxygen, and nutrients to all areas of
the body
Digestive breaks down food and absorbs nutrients
Endocrine uses chemical hormones to control other body systems
Excretory gathers the wastes from the digestive, respiratory, and circulatory systems and discharges them from the body
Immune protects us from disease - using the skin as a barrier to the outside world and using white blood cells and antibodies
Muscular allows body movement, maintains posture, moves food
Nervous controls and coordinates; carries nerve messages to and from the brain and spinal cord and rest of the body
Reproductive takes its signals from certain hormones to make sex cells to allow offspring to be produced
Respiratory brings oxygen in and removes carbon dioxide from body
Skeletal Protects, supports, allows movement, makes blood cells, and stores minerals

Evolution and Biodiversity
evolution – the process in which inherited characteristics within a population change over generations such that new species sometimes arise
heredity – your characteristics that make up your physical body are handed down to your through the genetic material from your ancestors
variation – differences in traits among individuals of a species
adaptations – a characteristic or trait that improves an individual’s ability to survive and reproduce
natural selection or survival of the fittest – the most fit organisms will survive and reproduce and pass their good traits to their offspring

Symbiosis
organisms from different species work together in groups and form partnerships that help the organisms involved
![Page 32: Life Science Review of Grade 6 Science. Classification of Organisms Taxonomy – the science of describing, classifying, and naming living things Carolus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081504/56649f005503460f94c1612f/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Three types of Symbiosis:
mutualism – a form of symbiosis in which both organisms benefit
commensalism – a form of symbiosis in which one organism benefits and the other is not harmed
parasitism – a form of symbiosis in which one organism benefits and the other is harmed
![Page 33: Life Science Review of Grade 6 Science. Classification of Organisms Taxonomy – the science of describing, classifying, and naming living things Carolus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081504/56649f005503460f94c1612f/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Food Levels Producers
Consumers Decomposers
These food levels are used to show how far an organism is from the primary source of all food energy, the Sun. The closer an organism’s food source is to the Sun, the more numerous the organism.

Key Terms eutrophication – when extra nutrients get into a
river, lake, or bay, they cause unusual algae growth. When too many aquatic organisms, such as algae, grow in a body of water, they deplete the level of oxygen in the water so that other organisms cannot live
phototropism – the tendency of plants to bend or lean toward light in order to get the most energy from photosynthesis
succession – a series of changes in a living community
climax community – a stable community at the end of succession
