Cell Biology
This organelle controls the cell and holds DNA
What is the nucleus?
A segment of DNA that codes for a trait
What is a gene?
A group of the same species in one place
What is a population?
The simplest living organisms, they do NOT have a nucleus
What is a prokaryotes/bacteria?
Cell movement for high to low concentration
What is diffusion?
This organelle is the "powerhouse of the cell"
What is mitochondria?
The physical expression of a trait
What is phenotype?
The maximum number of organisms an area can support
What is carrying capacity?
A virus must infect one of these to reproduce
What is a host cell?
Plants use this process to make food
What is photosynthesis?
Ribosomes are responsible for this job
What is making proteins?
A chart used to track traits through generations
What is a pedigree?
This type of relationship occurs when two species compete for the same limited resource
What is competition?
These tiny hair-like structures help bacteria move
What are flagella?
Cell break down glucose for energy during this process
What is cellular respiration?
This organelle is covered in ribosomes and help make and transport proteins
What is the rough endoplasmic reticulum (rough ER)?
what is a substitution mutation?
Organism that make their own food
What are producers/autotrophs?
This type of microorganism can be helpful (like yeast) or harmful (like athlete's foot)
What are fungi?
This divides the nucleus during cell division
What is mitosis?
This structure helps plant cells stay rigid
What is the cell wall?
When both alleles blend (red + white = pink)
What is incomplete dominance?
All the living mass in an ecosystem
What is a biomass?
Circular DNA found in bacteria that scientist often use for genetic engineering
What is a plasmid?
DNA is copied during this phase of the cell cycle
What is S phase (in interphase)?
