Vocabulary
The process of diffusion of ions (usually H+ ions, also known as protons) across a selectively permeable membrane.
What is chemiosmosis?
The reason that prokaryotic cells have internal folding of the cell membrane which are responsible for certain functions like respiration.
What is increased surface area?
The evolution of a new species from a surviving ancestral species while both continue to inhabit the same geographic region.
What is sympatric speciation?
The regulation of an enzyme by binding an effector molecule at a site other than the enzyme's active site.
What is allosteric regulation?
This is Baby Yoda's actual name.
What is Grogu?
An early developmental process in which an embryo transforms from a one-dimensional layer of epithelial cells (blastula) and reorganizes into a multilayered and multidimensional structure.
What is gastrulation?
It is the structure of this protein that determine which reactant will bind to it for a reaction to proceed by forming specific chemical bonds.
What is an enzyme?
When a few individuals move to a new region and start a new colony of limited genetic variation.
What is founder's effect?
This hormone is release when blood calcium levels are too low.
What is parathyroid hormone (PTH)?
The youngest student in this class.
Who is Milathea?
The ingestion of liquid into a cell by the budding of small vesicles from the cell membrane.
What is pinocytosis?
This is the reason animals can digest starch but not cellulose.
What is because animals have enzymes that can hydrolyze the alpha-glycosidic linkages of starch but not the beta-glycosidic linkages of cellulose.
Structures are similar physical features in organisms that share a common ancestor, but the features serve completely different functions.
What are homologous structures?
Most body systems are this type of feedback.
What is negative?
Number of chromebooks stored in cart normally.
What is 40?
The________, also known as the pericellular matrix, is a glycoprotein and glycolipid covering that surrounds the cell membranes of bacteria, epithelial cells, and other cells.
What is a glycocalyx?
An example this occurs in the feet of penguins, in which heat from blood in the arteries supplying the feet is transferred to blood returning to the body's core in veins that lie close to these arteries. This helps to maintain the core temperature in freezing conditions.
What is countercurrent exchange?
When there is a very noticeable reduction in population size for a minimum of one generation time.
What is bottleneck effect?
This class of hormones is poorly lipid soluble and cannot pass through membranes – they bind with receptors on the outer cell membrane surface.
What are hydrophilic hormones?
This is the actual name of the dog on Mrs. Griffin's cabinet.
What is Fang?
Invaginations of the cell membrane rich in several ion channels and other proteins devoted to the critical task of excitation–contraction coupling in cardiac muscle cells (cardiomyocytes).
What are Transverse Tubules (T-Tubules)?
This type of cell in plants provides an internal hydrophobic surface facilitating water transport as well as mechanical strength.
What is xylem?
When individuals with traits on one side of the mean in their population survive better or reproduce more than those on the other.
What is directional selection?
A gene whose expression increases quantitatively in response to an enhancer or a positive regulator in bacteria.
What is an inducible operon?
Mrs. Griffin's Hogwarts house.
What is Ravenclaw?
