What organelle controls what enters and leaves the cell?

cell membrane or plasma membrane 

100

Who developed the theory of Natural Selection? 

Charles Darwin

100

Organisms that make their own food. They perform photosynthesis

autotrophs or producers

100

The word means balance and stability within the body (example is maintaining body temperature). 

homeostasis

100

Where is DNA located in the cell?

nucleus 

100

term for building block (example: monosaccaride, fatty acid chains + glycerol, amino acids, nucleotide)

monomer or subunit

100

Plants (producers or autotrophs) do this to make their own food (glucose).

photosynthesis

100

What is the monomer or subunit of DNA and RNA?

nucleotide

100

Which 2 biomolecules provide energy? 

Carbohydrates and Lipids

200

Plant and animal cells are both classified as this type of cell.

eukaryotic cell

200

A change in DNA that increases the variety of offspring in a species.  Examples are substitution, deletion and insertion. 

mutation

200

A sequence of who eats who to gain energy in an ecosystem.

food chain

200

Phase in the cell cycle where DNA is replicated and the cell prepares for division.

Interphase

200

What are the nitrogenous bases of DNA?

Adenine, thymine, guanine, cytosine

200

Monomer of a protein

amino acid

200

This is the 3 letter term for energy

ATP

200

This process results in 2 identical strands of DNA.

DNA Replication

200

Who did it? 

Suspect 2

300

The organelle that produces proteins, site of protein synthesis

ribosomes

300

The remains of organisms preserved in rock or ice that can be evidence of evolution.

fossils

300

Evaporation - condensation - precipitation

the water cycle

300

What is the number of chromosomes in a human haploid and diploid cell? (2 answers)

23 and 46

300

What are the 3 types of RNA?

Messenger, transfer, and ribosomal

300

Always a protein, these act as a catalyst to speed up chemical reaction (hint: lock and key)

enzymes

300

What are the reactants of photosynthesis AND/OR the products of cellular respiration?

Sunlight (Energy), Water (H2O), and Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

300

DNA is transcribed to make this.  This process happens in the nucleus.

Transcription?

300

What process is represented in the diagram below?

Mitosis

400

What is the site of cellular respiration and photosynthesis?

mitochondria and chloroplast

400

When an entire species dies out

extinction

400

A relationship among organisms where both benefit from each other 

hint: (+,+) or two smiley faces

mutualism

400

A disruption in Mitosis would effect these types of cells.

body cells or somatic cells

400

Which chromosome are sex-linked traits located on? 

the X chromosome

400

Glucose, Fructose, Lactose, Sucrose, -ose, -ose, -ose

What are these examples of?

examples of Carbohydrates

400

What are the products of photosynthesis AND/OR the reactants of cellular respiration?

Oxygen (O2) and Glucose (C6H12O6) 

400

What is the monomer of proteins?

amino acids

400

Below is a prokaryotic cell.  We know it is a prokaryotic cell because it is missing which organelle? 

nucleus 

500

Which 2 organelles are only found in a plant cell? 

Cell wall and Chloroplasts.

500

The concept that individuals who are best suited for their environment will live longer and reproduce more than those who are not

survival of the fittest or natural selection

500

What is the primary source of energy for all food webs? 

the sun

500

The propose of this process (which happens in Meiosis) is to exchange DNA which causes genetic variation.

crossing over

500

This results in a phenotype in which the expressed physical trait is a combination or BLEND of the phenotypes of both alleles.  

(Example: Red + White= Pink)

incomplete dominance

500

This element is found in all organic material.

carbon

500

Which organelle is responsible for making glucose in a plant cell?

chloroplast

500

Transcription of this DNA Sequence:

TACCGCTCC

AUGGCGAGG

________ proposed the theory of natural selection, however, his theory was lacking the genetic component.  _________ (the father of genetics) helped to fill in the blanks. 

Charles Darwin, Gregor Mendel
