Ecology
Define Exponential growth; Define logistic growth
Exponential - no limited resources, elongated J shaped on graph
Logistic - carrying capacity, plateau's out on a graph
Give an example of the innate immune system
many examples work: fever, inflammation, physical barriers, resident microorganisms, macrophages, white blood cells, antimicrobial proteins
If an object appears blue, what color wavelengths are being reflected?
Blue!
Define population density, give an example, and explain why it's a factor in species survival
individuals in an area : any example works as long as it's accurate : because more encounters means more sick
Give an example of your adaptive immune system
Antibodies!
What gas is created in photosynthesis?
Oxygen (O2)
Name two of the three types of population distributions
Clumped, Uniform, or random
Define Antigen VS Antibody
Antigen = bad
Antibody = good
What are products of photosynthesis?
Glucose (C6H12O6) and Oxygen (O2) and
What equation do we use to calculate exponential growth? What Equation do we use to calculate logistic growth?
G = rN
G = rN (K-N)/K
How do antibodies get released into the blood stream? How do antigens get recognizes?
Plasma B cells release antibodies, Memory B Cells recognize antigens, and Memory B cells are the ones that trigger the Plasma B cells to duplicate
What are the byproducts of the Calvin Cycle specifically? The Light dependent cycle?
Oxygen is created in light dependent reactions
Glucose is created in the Calvin Cycle
If a population of 23 has a carrying capacity of 50 and 7 individuals are born and 3 die, what will the population of the next year be?
G = 2.11
Population = 25 (ish)
Explain why a vaccine works (try to use Biology terms!)
Memory B cells recognize antigens they've encountered before, so introducing a passive/already dead antigen to our system lets our Memory B cells respond more quickly when we encounter the full strength of that virus.
What is Chemiosmosis? (where does it take place, what does it use, what does it create?
Chemiosmosis takes place in the ATP Synthase and is the fusing of ADP and a loos phosphate using the higher electrical charge of Hydrogen to fuse them to create ATP
