front three teeth
What is a Commensal relationship
One orngaism benefits one, not affected
what is 1000m to km
1km
What is natural selection
Organisms better adapted to their environment are more likely to survive, reproduce, and pass on their advantageous, heritable traits to offspring
What does the Calvin cycle produce
sugar
Where is the sagittal crest located
a rigid line on the top of your head.
What is a parasitic relationship?
one is hurt, one gains
What is 1 micrometer to nanometers

what are Haploids and Diploids
Haploids: a single, complete set of chromosomes, which is half the number found in typical body (diploid) cells
Diploids: two complete sets of chromosomes, one inherited from each parent, meaning it has pairs of homologous chromosomes
What does the thylakoid do?
capture sunlight and convert it into chemical energy (ATP and NADPH) during photosynthesis's light-dependent reactions.
Where is the maxilla located?
upper jawbone
What is carrying capacity
the maximum population size an environment can sustain indefinitely, or the maximum weight an object can hold
190 micrometers to centimeters
19 centimeters
Red Queen theory
organisms must constantly evolve and adapt to survive against other evolving species
What element is absorbed into the Calvin cycle
in the lower jaw
What is Type III survivorship curve
Type III represents species with many offspring, low parental care, and high mortality early in life (e.g., fish, insects, plants).
