Which biomolecule is known as a source of quick energy?

Carbohydrates

100

This type of cell, such as bacteria, lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.

Prokaryote 
100

This sugar can be found in DNA.

Deoxyribose

100

The process where organisms better adapted to their environment survive and produce more offspring.

Natural Selection

100

This is the broadest, most inclusive, and is at the very top of the taxonomy chart/pyramid.

Domain

200

What are the four most abundant elements found in the biomolecules?

Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, and Nitrogen

200

Eukaryotic cells contains this organelle known as, "the powerhouse" of the cell.

Mitochondria

200

This RNA molecule transfers amino acids to the ribosome. 

tRNA

200

The phrase describing individuals with the best adaptations surviving or only the fittest survive.

Survival of the Fittest 

200

Unlike plants, members of the Kingdom Animalia lack this rigid outer cellular structure. 

Cell Wall

300


Enzymes are ______that lower the activation energy of reactions

Proteins

300

I am found in plant cells. I contain a rigid outer layer that is not found in animal cells.

Cell Wall

300

DNA replicates during which phase of the cell cycle?

The S-Phase or Synthesis Phase
300

A type of adaptation where an organism "blends" in with the environment. 

Camouflage 

300

This two-word scientific naming system, developed by Carl Linnaeus, used in Genus and Species. 

Binominal Nomenclature

400

Fried chicken is a saturated fat which contains this biomolecule, which provides energy per gram.

Lipid

400

This structure is found in all cells (both types) and is responsible for protein synthesis.

Ribosomes

400

A mutation caused by an extra base being added. (Think of the arrow that was pointed up)

Insertion 

400

The famous island where Darwin studied finches. Hint: think back to our Bird Beak lab and reading assignment, starts with a G.) 

Galapagos Islands

400

The eight-level classification system includes Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus and this final, most specific level. (Hint: Think of the posters you made, what was at the bottom of the pyramid?)

Species

These are the four nitrogenous bases found in DNA.

Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine

500

These organisms, which include bacteria and archaea, possess this type of cell/are known to be what type of cell.

Prokaryotes

500

What are the three components of a nucleotide?

Sugar, Phosphate, and base

500

Bacteria evolving resistance to this is a direct example of natural selection. (Hint: What does the Doctor prescribe you when you have an infection?)
