What is glucose and starch examples of?
Carbohydrates
What is the equation for photosynthesis?
6CO2 + 6H2O →light energy→ C6H12O6 + 6O2
A simple unicellular cell type that has no true nucleus
Prokaryotes
What shows the distribution of energy within an ecosystem as a numerical value?
Energy Pyramids
What is one mutation type?
answers will vary (deletion, duplication, inversion, reciprocal translocation)
Which macromolecule is made up of amino acids?
Protein
Photosynthesis occurs with the help of what pigment? How does this pigment help?
Chlorophyll, helps by capturing light energy
Modifies and packages proteins within the cell
Golgi Complex
How are Food Chains and Food Webs different?
Food chains show the energy flow between organisms, food webs show the energy flow in the ecosystem.
How many daughter cells result from mitosis? How many daughter cells result from Meiosis
Mitosis - 2 daughter cells
Meiosis - 4 daughter cells
What macromolecule has instructions for building DNA, RNA, and nucleotides?
Nucleic Acids
What are the products of cellular respiration that are used as the reactants of photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide and water
What is the smallest living unit within an organism?
Organelles
How do abiotic factors and biotic factors differ?
Abiotic factors are the physical factors that help to sustain life, such as sunlight, temperature, and water. Biotic factors are the living organisms in the ecosystem (bio -life).
What are the phases of mitosis IN ORDER?
Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
Describe one of the factors that can affect the enzymes abilities to act as a catalyst?
answers will vary
Why is ATP considered energy?
ATP releases energy by doing cell work and releasing the phosphate.
Where can you find chromosomes (DNA) in the Eukaryotes
Nucleus
What is one example of a commonly studied nutrient cycle, and what occurs in this cycle?
answers will vary (water, oxygen, carbon, phosphorus)
Multiple Allele Cross, If a fathers blood type (genotype) is BO and a Mother's blood type is AA. What is the chance that the baby will have the blood type AB?
50%
What acts as a catalyst and speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction, and how does it speed the rate of the chemical reaction?
Enzymes, it lowers the energy needed for the reaction by creating an active site for the chemical reaction to take place.
What is purpose of cellular respiration? What is the purpose of Photosynthesis?
Cellular Respiration - creates energy
Photosynthesis - creates glucose (plant food)
Why do cells and organs have a specific shape?
When the necessities of organisms are limited, such as shelter, mates, food, water.
Limiting factors of a population
How can you tell whether a genotype is a recessive trait, dominant trait, or co-dominant trait?
It depends on the capitalization within the combination of alleles. Recessive alleles are lower case, and dominant allele are uppercase. Two upper case alleles are codominance.
