Unit 1 - Cells
This organelle controls all of the cells activities and contains the genetic information (DNA).
Nucleus
This body system breaks down food and turns it into nutrients for the body to absorb:
The digestive system
This term describes the stronger version of a gene usually represented as a capital letter:
This diagram shows the transfer of energy at each trophic level:
Energy pyramid
This term describes all of the excess water that flows across a surface, often picking up debris and trash..
Runoff
This organelle acts as a storage center for the cell, storing water and nutrients.
This body system provides protection for the inside of the body and also regulates the internal body temperature:
Integumentary system
This term describes the options you can inherit for a gene:
Allele
This trophic level is three arrows away from the producer:
Tertiary consumer
Erosion
These organelles are present in plant cells and NOT in animal cells:
Chloroplasts
Cell wall
Large vacuole instead of many small ones
This body system secretes hormones needed to regulate homeostasis for the body.
The endocrine system
This term describes the physical expression of a gene
Phenotype
This word describes a large geographical area with similar biotic and abiotic factors:
Biome
This natural disaster causes damage from high wind speeds and flooding due to its storm surge:
Hurricane
Chloroplasts are organelles that are capable of performing photosynthesis. What 3 things are needed for this process to occur?
Carbon Dioxide, Water, and Radiant Energy
This body system is responsible for creating red blood cells:
Skeletal system
Complete the following offspring cross to determine what percentages of offspring would have blue eyes & Brown eyes:
B = Brown
b = Blue
BB x Bb
0% would have blue eyes
100% would have brown eyes
This word describes an organism that cannot make its own food:
How can you determine if two rivers are part of the same watershed?
If they drain to the same end location, they are part of the same watershed
The three parts to the cell theory are:
All living things are made up of one or more cells
All cells come from preexisting cells
The cell is the basic unit of all life
These two body systems work together to provide oxygen to the entire body:
Respiratory and circulatory
What would the parent's genotypes be to result in 100% curly hair?
bb and bb
If the tertiary consumer receives 300 Kcal of energy how much is stored at the primary consumer level?
30,000 Kcal of energy
What is a lichen's role in ecological succession?
Lichens start primary succession by breaking down rock into soil for other producers to grow.
