Non-Bio
The practice of using resources responsibly so that people today can meet their needs without compromising the ability of future generations to do the same.
A stable, biodiverse ecosystem is considered this...
What is "Sustainable"?
The amount of different types of life found within an environment or ecosystem.
What is "biodiversity"?
The inputs are water and carbon dioxide. The outputs are oxygen and glucose.
What is "photosynthesis"?
Remaining stable, steady, uniform, or unchanging over time. Getting the same result time and time again.
What is "consistent"?
The term for chemical energy, for short.
What is "ATP"?
Limitations or restrictions that limit a solution to a problem (e.g., financial cost, safety regulations, or lack of materials).
What is "constraint"?
An organism (like bacteria or fungi) that breaks down dead organic material, recycling nutrients back into the ecosystem.
What is "decomposer"?
Has inputs of oxygen and glucose and outputs of carbon dioxide, water, and ATP.
What is "cellular respiration"?
An element, variable, or environmental agent that contributes to a specific biological result. For example, burning fossil fuels could be a _____________ in the cause of climate change.
What is a "factor"?
A permanent change or alteration in the nucleotide base sequence of an organism's DNA.
What is a "mutation"?
The prioritized goals, requirements, or standards that a successful solution must achieve.
What is "Criterion (Criteria)"?
A species on which other organisms in an ecosystem largely depend, such that its removal collapses the food web.
What is a "keystone species"?
The passive movement of particles from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.
What is "diffusion"?
A general direction in which data is changing or moving over time. One can use a graph to illustrate or picture this.
What is a "trend"?
A biological catalyst (usually a type of protein) that speeds up chemical reactions by lowering activation energy.
What is an "enzyme"?
Assessing whether a proposed solution is actually possible or practical to execute given the real-world constraints.
What is "Feasible"?
A self-feeder.
What is "autotroph"?
The specific net movement of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane down its concentration gradient. Water moves from areas of low solute to areas of high solute.
What is "osmosis"?
Describing how two separate parts of a system communicate or work together. How things connect/mingle/collaborate/work together.
What is "interact"?
The cell organelle where protein synthesis (the creation of proteins) happens.
What is the "ribosome"?
The process of coming into view, existence, or prominence. Noticeable or becoming known.
What is "emergence" or "emerge"?
The mechanism of evolution where organisms with advantageous traits survive and reproduce at higher rates.
What is "natural selection"?
Creating energy without using oxygen. A type of respiration.
What is "anaerobic"?
Putting a proposed solution, chemical control, or conservation method into actual practice. To execute or apply a solution.
What is "implement"?
A macromolecule composed of amino acid chains folded into a specific 3D shape that determines its function.
What is a "protein"?
