100

This is located in the nucleus and contains the code for all living things. 

DNA

100

the main function of this system is to transport materials throughout the body 

circulatory

100

this is the general equation for photosynthesis

light + water + CO2  --> glucose + oxygen

100

this process moves carbon from the atmosphere to the biosphere

photosynthesis

100

this is one of the factors that affects carrying capacity 

availability of resources 

200

The process of transcription (copying to RNA) and translation (creating amino acid chain) occurs in these two organelles. 

nucleus and ribosome 

200

a function of this system is absorption of nutrients

digestive 

200

this is the general equation for cellular respiration

glucose + oxygen --> co2 + water + ATP

200

these are examples of processes that move carbon from the geosphere and biosphere to the atmosphere

cellular respiration 

decomposition

combustion 

200

energy is lost moving up an trophic level because... 

organism use energy for life processes/some lost to heat 

300

the building blocks of proteins 

amino acids 

300

This is an example of a feedback mechanism in the human body 

temp

blood glucose


300

the sites of photosynthesis and cellular respiration

chloroplast and mitochondria

300

these are the four main systems involved in the carbon cycle 

hydrosphere, atmosphere, biosphere, geosphere 

300

abiotic and biotic factors that affect carrying capacity 

answers will vary
400

a protein that speeds up chemical reactions

enzyme 

400

This is an example of two systems interacting to maintain homeostasis

answers will vary 

400

the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration

opposite/complimentary processes 

400

this is the reason that the carbon cycle is important

recycles carbon to be used in future life

400

urbanization and deforestation affect biodiversity by 

destroying habitats 

500

cell receptors and enzymes function relies on this characteristic

shape 

500

stomates respond to changes in the environment by doing this, allowing plants to maintain homeostasis

opening and closing

500

the main source of energy for all ecosystem

the sun 

500

burning fossil fuels does this to the balance of the carbon cycle 

disrupts homeostasis

500

group behaviors in animals such as herding or migrating are beneficial because 

protection, shared navigation/clues
