Flashcards for CXC CSEC Biology (CXC 20/G/SYLL 13), split into the syllabus's three sections, Living Organisms in the Environment, Life Processes and Disease, and Continuity and Variation, and then by topic in each section's order. Delete or suspend any subdeck your course leaves out once the deck is yours.

Adding it gives you your own copy, with every subdeck below. Each card then comes back just before you would forget it, and every one you get right or wrong counts towards your mastery of its topic. You can delete or suspend the parts you are not studying once it is yours.

Some of its cards

  • Stimulus
    A change in an organism's internal or external environment that it can detect
  • Deoxyribonucleic acid, the nucleic acid that contains an organism's genetic information
    DNA
  • Producer
    An organism that makes its own food using energy from sunlight
  • Name two ways in which genetic variation arises in a population.
    Sexual reproduction and mutation
  • A permanent increase in size, mass or complexity of an organism
    Growth
  • Respiration
    The release of energy from food, such as glucose, inside cells by a series of enzyme-controlled reactions
  • The organelle containing chromosomes, which carry the cell's genetic information as DNA
    Nucleus (of a cell)
  • Cell division that produces two daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as, and genetically identical to, the parent cell
    Mitosis
  • Why do single-celled organisms, such as amoeba, not need a transport system?
    Their surface area to volume ratio is large enough for diffusion alone to supply their needs
  • A mode of nutrition in which an organism makes its own organic food from simple inorganic substances, usually by photosynthesis
    Autotrophic nutrition
