Ecology
The principle states that two species cannot occupy the same niche in the same habitat and will lead to eliminating of one of them.
What is the principle of competitive exclusion?
These are features of an organism that are considered to have lost much or all of their original function through evolution.
What are vestigial structures?
Energy molecules made of 3 Phosphate groups, a pentose sugar, and a nitrogenous base.
What is Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)?
Is a group of organisms that can interbreed and produce unfertile offspring in nature.
What is a hybrid?
This cell organelle is responsible for modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids for transport to their final destinations within or outside the cell.
What is the Golgi Apparatus?
This interaction is when an organism hunts, kills and eats any plant to obtain energy.
What is herbivory?

What is glycolysis?
Is all of the environmental factors and interspecies relationships that influence the species.
What is a niche?
This type of mutation occurs when a wrinkle forms on the DNA template strand and subsequently causes a nucleotide to be omitted from the replicated strand.

What is insulin?
It is a symbiotic relationship where both species benefit but if something happens to one of them, the other will be hurt or killed.
What is obligated mutualism?
The woolly mammoth which became extinct 4000 years ago and the modern elephant share a common ancestor that lived approximately 6 million years ago. This is an example of which type of evolution?

What are autotrophs?
These two terms are used in genetics. The first one refers to the genetic makeup of an organism, while the other one refers to the observable characteristics or traits that result from the interaction between genes and the environment.
What are genotype and phenotype?
It is a defense or tactic that organisms use to disguise their appearance, usually to blend in with their surroundings.
What's cryptic coloration?
The Galapagos finches, evolved different beak shapes and sizes to adapt to different food sources on different islands. This is an example of which type of evolution?

Photosynthesis, glycolysis, and cellular respiration are examples of...
What are metabolic pathways?
This law states that the entropy of a system approaches a constant value as the temperature approaches absolute zero.
What is the third law of thermodynamics?
Is the ability of an organism to maintain a stable internal environment.
What is homeostasis?
