Macromolecules
The macromolecule made of amino acids and helps build and repair tissue
Protein
This organelle's function is to convert sugar and oxygen into carbon dioxide, water, and ATP (Respiration)
Mitochondria
A short section of DNA that codes for a trait
Gene
A trait that allows for an individual's increased survival and reproduction.
Adaptation
These organisms make their own food using sunlight.
Producers
These macromolecules store long-term energy and include fats and oils.
Lipids
This structure controls what enters and leaves the cell.
Cell membrane
This term describes different versions of the same gene.
Allele
This process describes organisms best adapted to their environment surviving and reproducing.
Natural selection
This is the single path of energy takes as it moves through an ecosystem.
Food chain
This macromolecule contains genetic instructions and is found in DNA and RNA.
Nucleic acids
Plant cells have this structure that provides extra support and protection.
Cell wall
This genetic makeup of an organism determines traits.
Genotype
This term refers to a species that has died out completely.
Extinct
This level of a food web includes organisms that eat producers.
Primary consumers
These macromolecules are responsible for quick usable energy, and come in the form of sugars such as glucose.
Carbohydrates
This organelle contains DNA and acts as the control center of the cell.
Nucelus
This term describes traits that are physically expressed.
Phenotype
The movement of alleles between populations due to a movement of indivduals.
Gene flow
This process converts sunlight into chemical energy in plants.
Photosynthesis
This type of protein speeds up chemical reactions in the body.
Enzyme
This process allows water to move across a membrane from high to low concentration.
Osmosis
The trait that is always expressed, no matter how many alleles are present
Dominant
The process of species changing over many generations
Evolution
Only about this percentage of energy transfers from one trophic level to the next.
