Species & Populations
A species that affects its entire ecosystem, usually more than it should. Example: elephants, grey wolves.
What is a keystone species?
This is a reason why cells do mitosis/divide.
What is:
-growth
-repair
-reproduction
-replacement
These are the three main types of plants in an ecosystem.
What are woody, herbaceous, and grasses?
This is the intended product of photosynthesis.
What is glucose/sugar/food?
These are the three types of 'food' molecules.
What are carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins?
Examples of this type of limiting factor are natural disasters and poaching.
What are density-independent limiting factors?
These are the four stages of mitosis. (not including cytokinesis)
What are prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase?
An acacia tree is an example of this type of plant.
What is a woody plant?
These are the reactants for photosynthesis.
What are sunlight, CO2, and H2O?
This term describes a single building block of a macromolecule.
What is a monomer?
Examples of this type of limiting factor are food, water, and shelter availability, disease, and predators.
What are density-dependent limiting factors?
This many chromosomes are given to a human offspring from each parent.
What are 23 chromosomes? (46 total)
This is one of the benefits of an ecosystem having high biodiversity.
What is:
-increased resilience (can bounce back from disasters)
-more resources (for human use)
This type of cellular respiration occurs in the absence of oxygen.
What is fermentation?
This is the monomer of a protein.
What is an amino acid?
This is how photosynthesis & cellular respiration are connected.
What is - the products of photosynthesis (Glucose & Oxygen) are the reactants of cellular respiration? (and vice versa -- CO2, H2O, and energy are the reactants of photosynthesis/products of cellular respiration)
Carnivores will have lots of this in their diet.
What are proteins, fats, and glucose?
Herbivores will have lots of this in their diets.
What are carbohydrates and glucose?
