Dehydration synthesis
What is a K-selected survivorship?
Humans; when a population is nearing carrying capacity so they have less children each
Name two reasons the transduction cascade occurs
To cancel the cascade and/or to amplify it
Where does photosynthesis take place (name of organelle)
Chloroplasts
What came up with the theory of natural selection and what is it?
Charles Darwin, the idea of evolution

What bonds hold water molecules together?
Hydrogen bonds
Explain the difference between primary succession and secondary succession
Primary - completely ruined due to natural disasters
Secondary - It can still regrow and evolve
What is cytokenesis?
Cytoplasm is made for cells in eukaryotic cells
The number of net ATP produced during cellular respiration.

What is commensialism?
When one species benefits, and another species in unaffected.
What is the mosts common second messengers?
Name all three components needed for photosynthesis
CO2, Photos, H2O
What is the founder effect?
A small population breaks off from a larger population and starts a new species due to prezyotic and postzyotic factors
