Cells
This cell type is known to form complex, multicellular organisms. Also, its known for having membrane bound organelles and a nucleus.
What is a eukaryote?
When an individual receives two different alleles for the same gene.
What is heterozygous?
Structures that were once useful but no longer have a function. Examples include the human appendix and whale hind leg bones.
What are vestigial structures?
The process of taking solar energy plus CO2 and converting it into chemical energy.
What is photosynthesis?
The symbiotic relationship between two organisms in which one benefits and the other is harmed.
What is parasitism?
The movement of molecules across a membrane, against its concentration gradient. This requires the energy input of ATP.
What is active transport?
A section of DNA that codes for a specific protein or trait.
What is a gene?
The process in which populations of organisms change over time.
What is evolution?
The balancing act all living organisms perform that keeps all the body's processes within set limits.
What is homeostasis?
The type of succession that occurs when an environment begins only with bare rock too to be followed by pioneer species such as lichens and moss.
What is primary succession?
The portion of the cell cycle in which the cytoplasm is separated and two new daughter cells are created.
What is cytokinesis?
This mutation occurs when a nucleotide is replaced by a different nucleotide.
What is a substitution mutation?
The scientific discipline that scientists use to classify and name organisms.
What is taxonomy?
This specific type of protein is used to make and break chemical bonds.
What is an enzyme?
Eagles eat snakes that eat mice that eat insects that eat plants. The eagle is an example of this.
What is a quaternary consumer?
Located in all cells, this cellular machinery combines multiple amino acids to make the cytoskeleton.
What are ribosomes?
The genotypic ratio when crossing two heterozygotes.
What is 1:2:1
These can be harmful, beneficial, or neutral. The beneficial ones make their way into the next generation of offspring if favored by the environmental conditions.
What are mutations?
The response of plants to touch.
What is thigmotropism?
The total amount of energy remaining from plants in the 5th trophic level.
What is 0.01%
The two types of biomolecules, composed mostly of carbon, hydrogens, and oxygens, that are primarily used for energy.
What are carbohydrates and lipids.
The phenotypic ratio when crossing two complete heterozygotes for two different traits.
What is 9:3:3:1
What is the bottleneck effect?
What are the immune and integumentary systems?
These two human body systems work together to be the first line of defense when invaded by bacteria or virus.
The organizational level of organism that includes communities and abiotic factors but is still regionally restricted to a smaller area.
What is an ecosystem?
