This describes the interactions between organisms, both living and nonliving.
What is an ecosystem.
100
The names and charges of the subatomic particles.
What are protons (positive), neutrons (neutral) and electrons (negative).
100
This term describes carbon-based molecules.
What are organic compounds.
100
These are the membrane-enclosed structures found in eukaryotic cells.
What are organelles.
100
This term describes the number of protons in an element.
What is its atomic number.
200
These are photosynthetic organisms that produce their own food.
What are producers.
200
First, electrons are shared in this kind of bond. Secondly, electrons are given or taken in this kind of bond.
What are covalent bonds and ionic bonds.
200
Three examples of functional groups.
What are Carbonyl (C=O), Carboxyl (-COOH), Hydroxyl (-OH), Amino group (-NH2), Phosphate (-OPO3^2), Methyl (-CH3) and Sulfydryl (-SH).
200
This organelle is the site of protein synthesis.
What is the ribosome.
200
First, the manipulated variable. Then, the measured variable.
What are the independent variable (IV) and dependent variable (DV).
300
The three domains of life.
What are the Domains Bacteria, Archaea and Eukarya.
300
Carbon-12 and Carbon-14 are examples of this kind of atom, because...
What is an isotope, because there is a different number of neutrons than normal carbon.
300
These are the four characteristics of organic compounds.
What is length, branching, double-bond position, and the presence of rings.
300
The plasma membrane surrounding the cell is made up a bilayer of these. What are terms to describe it's components?
What are phospholipids. The phosphate heads are hydrophilic and the lipid tails are hydrophobic.
300
A hydrogen ion H+ has this charge, because...
What is a positive charge, because there are more protons in the nucleus than electrons around the atom.
400
The levels of biological organization, from smallest to largest, or largest to smallest.
What are atom > molecule > organelle > cell > tissue > organ and organ system > organism > population of organism > community > ecosystem > biosphere, or reverse.
400
This term describes the sum of protons and neutrons in an element.
What is mass number.
400
These are the levels of protein structure. Give a brief description of three.
What are primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary.
400
This organelle modifies and packages proteins.
What is the golgi apparatus.
400
Digestive organelle where macromolecules are hydrolyzed.
What is the lysosome.
500
These are the differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
Prokaryotes do not have a nucleus and no membrane bound organelles. Eukaryotes have a nucleus and membrane bound organelles.
500
The numbers representing the most acidic and most basic a solution can be on the pH scale.
What is 0 (most acidic) and 14 (most basic).
500
These are three of the four the classes of molecules. Also, provide two characteristics or examples of each.
What are LIPIDS (fatty acids, long carbon chains, hydrophobic, phospholipids, steroids, long-term energy, etc.), CARBOHYDRATES (sugars/mono/di/polysaccharides, starch, glycogen, fast energy, etc.), PROTEINS (amino acids, defense, storage, transport, enzymatic, hormonal, structure, peptide bonds, polypeptides, levels of structure, etc.), and NUCLEIC ACIDS (deoxyribonucleic acid, ribonucleic acid, genes, nucleotides, double-helix, etc.)
500
This organelle uses oxygen to create adenosine triphosphate by extracting energy from sugars, fats, and other fuels.
