Biology
What plant structure transports nutrients through the plant?
Ploem
Study of how species are distributed on Earth
Animals contain specialized cells such as a bicep or a tricep. What do these cells represent?
(HINT: think levels of organization)
tissue
What are the nucleobases found in DNA?
A-T and G-C
What cellular process involves the transport of water molecules into and out of a cell?
Osmosis
DNA, RNA, and environmental factors play a role in cell differentiation. What happens during cell differentiation?
Cell become specialized to perform a specific function
What is an interaction where one organism is not affected by the relationship with another organism?
commensalism
Does ecological succession increase or decrease species diversity?
increase
A student was examining a cell under a microscope. She labeled the cell as a prokaryotic cell. What did this student notice about this cell to cause her to label it this way?
The cell did not have a nucleus.
The stomach is one of several organs that help in digestion. As an organ, the stomach is made up of-
cells and tissues
An important group of proteins are called enzymes. Enzymes are known as biological catalysts because they-
speed up the rate of chemical reactions
Describe the process of homeostasis
it is when the organism maintains a stable internal environment
Viruses cannot reproduce unless they infect a cell where they take control and produce new viruses. These new viruses eventually break open the cell. What term describes this method of viral reproduction?
Lytic cycle
Flowering plants reproduce sexually. This process depends on successful pollination. However, an interaction must first take place in order for pollination to occur. What is this interaction?
Pollen must be transferred from the stamen to the pistil
A student observed that an organism was multicellular. In addition, each cell contained chloroplasts and was surrounded by a cell wall. Into which kingdom should this student classify this organism?
Plant
Gene flow
Which branch of biology classifies organisms?
Taxonomy
What does a comparison of amino acids in 4 different organisms represent?
(HINT: Think evidences of evolution)
molecule homologies
Does natural selection produce change in a population or an individual?
Which biomolecule is the main source of energy that living things use for respiration?
Carbohydrates
Which cellular process involves a conversion of light energy into chemical energy?
(HINT: cellular processes occur in all types of cells- not just animal)
photosynthesis
If all of the plants in a field point in the direction of the sun this is known as-
positive phototropism
What happens during the "S" stage of interphase?
DNA replication
Primary producers -> primary consumers -> secondary consumers -> tertiary consumers
What does this represent?
the flow of matter and energy
What could most impact the stability of an ecosystem?
An environmental change
