100
A factor that describes a nonliving factor in an ecosystem
What is abiotic factor?
100
The basic unit of structure and function for all living organism.
What is a cell.
100
The smallest unit of an element that retains the chemical and physical properties of that element
What is an atom?
100
The series of events that take place in a cell leading to its division and duplication. The main phases are interphase, nuclear division, and cytokinesis.
What is the cell cycle?
100
A variation of the genes nucleotides sequence (an alternative form of a gene).
What is an allele?
200
a model that illustrates the biomass productivity at multiple trophic levels in a given ecosystem
What is an energy pyramid?
200
A sub-unit within a cell that has a specialized function.
What is an organelle?
200
The movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration
What is diffusion?
200
The movement of water or another solvent through permeable membranes from an area of higher water concentration to an area of lower water concentration.
What is osmosis?
200
A biological macromolecule that encodes the genetic information for living organisms and is capable of self-replication and the synthesis of ribonucleic acid
What is deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)?
300
a factor that describes a living or once living organism and an ecosystem
What is biotic factor?
300
an organelle found in eukaryotic cells responsible for the final stages of process proteins for release by the cell
What is the Golgi apparatus?
300
The changing of organic matter into other chemical forms such as fuels.
What is biochemical conversion?
300
The movement of particles from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration that uses energy provided by ATP or a difference in electrical charges across a cell membrane.
What is Active Transport?
300

A nuclear division resulting in the production of 2 cells with the same genetic make up in the daughter cells.

What is mitosis?

400
A group of individuals of the same species live in a specific geographic area and are reproducing
What is a population?
400
A membrane-bound organelle found in most eukaryotic cells; site of cellular respiration
What is the mitochondrion?
400
The measure of an acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution scaling from 1 (highly acidic) to 14 (highly basic) with a midpoint of 7 (neutral)
What is the pH?
400
The regulatory process in which an organism regulates its internal environment.
What is homeostasis?
400

A phenomenon in which two alleles (different versions of the same gene) are expressed to an equal degree within an organism

What is codominance?

500
The position of an organism in relation to the flow of energy and inorganic nutrients through an ecosystem (ex. producer, consumer, and decomposer)
What is a trophic level?
500
A molecule that provides energy for cellular respiration. It releases energy one of its high-energy bonds is broken to release a phosphate group.
What is Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)?
500
A process in which solar radiation is chemically captured by chlorophyll molecules and through a set of control chemical reactions resulting in the potential chemical energy in the bonds of carbohydrate molecules
What is photosynthesis?
500
The process in which new species developed from pre-existing species; a change in allele frequencies of a population of organisms from generation to generation.
What is evolution?
500
An exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes during anaphase 1 of meiosis; contributes to the genetic variation in gametes and ultimately in the offspring.
What is crossing over?
