Unit 1
Scientists wanted to see how increasing ocean temperatures affect the number of fish species that live in the coral reefs off the coast of Australia.
The number of fish species represents which part of the experiment?
What is the DEPENDENT VARIABLE?
This type of cell has membrane bound organelles including mitochondria.
What is a EUKARYOTE?
This type of a protein speeds up reactions by lowering the activation energy needed.
What is an ENZYME?
These are the openings in plant cell walls that allow molecules to move between cells for signaling and other purposes.
What are PLASMODESMATA?
This type of cell division results in two genetically identical cells.
What is MITOSIS?
This property of water is responsible for water sticking together in droplets.
What is COHESION?
In order for cells to have a fast metabolism and exchange materials quickly across the plasma membrane, they need this surface area-to-volume ratio.
What is a HIGH surface area-to-volume ratio?
High temperature, salinity, or pH will cause what to happen to a protein?
What is DENATURE?
This disease can occur when replicating cells do not respond appropriately to cell cycle checkpoints.
What is CANCER?
This source of genetic variation results from chromosomes swapping portions of genetic material during Metaphase I.
What is CROSSING OVER?
This process connects two monosaccharides into a disaccharide through the removal of a water molecule.
What is DEHYDRATION SYNTHESIS?
This type of transport across a cell membrane occurs down a concentration gradient, but requires integral proteins to transport larger or polar molecules across the membrane.
What is FACILITATED DIFFUSION?
This is the final electron acceptor in the Electron Transport Chain.
This type of feedback loop brings conditions back to a set point.
What is NEGATIVE FEEDBACK?
A cross between two F1 plants is known as this.
What is a MONOHYBRID CROSS?
This level of a polymers structure is when a chain of amino acids folds into beta-pleated sheets and alpha helixes.
What is SECONDARY STRUCTURE?
What is OUT OF, and SHRIVEL or SHRINK.
What are the LIGHT DEPENDENT REACTIONS?
These are two chromosomes (one from mom, one from dad) that are the same length, have the same centromere position, and carry genes controlling the same characteristics.
What are HOMOLOGOUS CHROMOSOMES?
This type of non-mendelian genetics results in both alleles being expressed as the phenotype.
What is CODOMINANCE?
This type of biomolecule contains carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen in a 1:2:1 ratio.
What is a CARBOHYDRATE?
This is the term that describes the property of phospholipids having a hydrophilic head and a hydrophobic tail, which is why they form a bilayer with the tails on the interior.
What is AMPHIPATHIC?
C4 Plants live in which type of climates?
What are HOT, DRY climates?
These small, non-protein molecules and ions help relay signaling messages and amplify the cell's response.
What are SECOND MESSENGERS?
If one parent has type O blood, and the other parent has type AB blood, what are the possible blood types of the children?
What are A and B?
