Photosynthesis
The sun
What is the ultimate source of energy?
This refers to the number of individuals per unit area
What is population density?
Mitochondria
What organelle does cellular respiration take place?
Living parts of the ecosystem
What are biotic factors?
This is what the acronym DNA stands for
What is Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid
Sunlight energy is used to convert water and carbon dioxide (reactants) into high-energy sugars and oxygen (products)
What is the process of photosynthesis?
A growth curve that rapidly increases and does not stop
What is exponential growth?
This is the compound is energy extracted from during cellular respiration
What is glucose?
Non-living parts of the ecosystem
What are abiotic factors?
The the four nitrogenous bases of DNA
What are adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine
The organelle in which photosynthesis takes place
What are chloroplasts?
A growth curve that starts slow, increases fast, then plateaus, creating an 's' shape
What is logistic growth
Alcohol and carbon dioxide
What are the (by)products of alcohol fermentation?
The variety of species, genes, and ecosystems
What is biodiversity?
This is how nitrogenous bases pair together
What is the significance of A-T and C-G?
This reaction uses carbon dioxide to produce glucose
What happens in the light-independent reactions?
Competition, predation, disease
What are examples of density dependent factors?
Lactic acid
What is the product of lactic acid fermentation?
The washing away of soil and nutrients by wind or water
What is soil erosion?
This is how DNA strands in a double helix connect
Energy from the sun in this reaction uses water to produce oxygen form compounds for chemical energy
What happens in the light dependent reaction?
Tornadoes, wildfires, hurricanes
What are examples of density-independent factors?
This is broken down into carbon dioxide during the Krebs cycle
What is pyruvic acid (pyruvate)?
This phenomenon is where pollutants more powerful at higher trophic levels?
What is biomagnification?
This enzyme codes for new strands of DNA
What is DNA Polymerase?
