Which two macromolecules act as energy storage?
Carbohydrates and Lipids
Both organisms benefit from this type of symbiotic relationship.
mutualism
Which organisms have the most available energy in a food pyramid?
Producers
What is commensalism?
A relationship where one species benefits from another species and that species is not harmed or helped.
What is the basic unit of life?
Cells
What's the difference between dominant and recessive traits?
Dominant always shows up if present; is represented by an uppercase letter.
Recessive traits only show up if 2 are present; represented by a lowercase letter.
What is the function of the ribosome?
It is the site of protein synthesis and where proteins get made.
Which body system includes the lungs, alveoli, and throat?
Respiratory System
Who discovered evolution by natural selection?
Charles Darwin
The process by which water moves through the cell membrane to balance out a high concentration of solutes.
osmosis
How much energy is passed on from one trophic level to the next?
10%
What is the movement of molecules across cell membranes from high to low concentration without the need for energy input?
passive transport (diffusion, facilitated diffusion, osmosis)
What are the three steps of Interphase (in order)?
G1, S, G2
Cell structures, enzymes, hormones, cell signaling are all examples of what macromolecule?
protein
What does CHNOPS stand for?
Carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, and sulfur
What are three examples of evolution evidence?
homologous structures
embryonic similarities
Fossils
DNA sequences
Protein structures
vestigial structures
What is the function of the lyososme?
It cleans up any cell waste by breaking it down.
If the producers contain 10,000 Kcal, then how much energy will the secondary consumers contain?
100 Kcal
What type of movement across a cell's membrane requires energy supplied by ATP and moves materials from low to high concentration.
Active transport
When does DNA replication occur?
During S phase of the cell cycle
What is the monomer of gluocse?
Monosaccharides (single sugars)
Which organism does both cellular respiration and photosynthesis?
Algae

What is the Cellular Respiration equation?
C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + 36/38 ATP
What are the four requirements for a species to do evolution?
big population
genetic differences
traits that are advantageous or not
many generations / time
List 3 characteristics that make DNA and RNA different:
DNA - deoxyribose sugar; RNA - ribose sugar
DNA - double stranded; RNA - single strand
DNA - bases A, T, C, G; RNA - bases A, U, C, G
DNA - lives in the nucleus; RNA - lives in the cytoplasm
