True or false, if false change the problem:
Evolution is the change in a communities genetic information over time.
False, only happens in populations

100
The name of the process that turns RNA into a protein.
Translation
100
This animal process adds to the carbon cycle

Exponential Growth

Active transport is different from passive transport in what two ways?
Active transport requires the following:
1. Energy
2. Goes against the gradient
3. Requires proteins
200
The main useable energy of a cell is called
ATP

List 2 differences between cells made in meisois vs mitosis
1) Cells are genetically different
