Unit 1 and 2
This property of water is most responsible for the ability of water to regulate temperature in organisms
What is High Specific Heat?
This molecule serves as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain during aerobic respiration.
What is Oxygen?
This principle states that allele pairs separate during gamete formation, so each gamete carries only one allele for each gene.
What is the Law of Segregation?
This process occurs when individuals with favorable traits survive and reproduce more successfully, causing those traits to become more common in a population.
What is natural selection?
This is the maximum number of individuals an environment can sustainably support over time.
This aquatic Solution shows Water leaving the cell, causing it to shrink.
What is a Hypertonic Solution?
This stage of photosynthesis uses ATP and NADPH to convert carbon dioxide into sugars.
What is the Calvin cycle?
This pattern of inheritance occurs when heterozygous individuals display a blend of both parental traits, such as pink flowers from red and white parents.
What is incomplete dominance?
This type of selection favors individuals at both extremes of a trait, often leading to a bimodal distribution.
What is Disruptive Selection?
This type of population growth occurs when resources are unlimited, resulting in a J-shaped curve.
What is exponential growth?
These macromolecules are made of amino acids, and their shape determines their function in the body.
What are proteins?
This sequence describes how a signal is received, processed, and responded to within a cell.
What is reception → transduction → response?
This process converts the information in DNA into a complementary RNA strand.
What is transcription?
These structures have similar anatomy due to shared ancestry, even if they serve different functions.
What are homologous structures?
This ecological rule explains why only a small fraction of energy passes to the next trophic level. It is in the form of a percent.
What is the 10% Rule?
This type of transport requires energy (ATP) to move substances against their concentration gradient.
What is active transport?
This rule states that only about this percentage of energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next.
What is 10%?
This cellular structure reads mRNA codons and assembles amino acids into a polypeptide chain.
What is a ribosome?
This principle, which comes in the form of a formula dealing with equilibrium, states that allele frequencies in a population remain constant if no evolutionary forces act on the population.
What is the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?
This cycle includes processes such as nitrogen fixation, nitrification, and denitrification. It uses Nitrogen.
This nitrogenous base is found in RNA instead of thymine.
What is Uracil?
This type of inhibitor binds to the active site of an enzyme and competes directly with the substrate.
What is a competitive inhibitor?
In prokaryotes, this model explains how genes are turned on or off using a promoter, operator, and repressor protein.
What is the operon model?
This term refers to an organism’s ability to survive and reproduce in its environment.
What is FITNESS?
This type of relationship occurs when two species benefit from each other.
What is Mutualism?
