This long, graduated glass tube features a stopcock at the bottom and is the star instrument used to dispense precise amounts of liquid during a titration.
What is a burette?
On his 5-year voyage aboard this Royal Navy ship, this naturalist collected specimens in the Galápagos Islands that later inspired his revolutionary theory of evolution by natural selection.
Charles Darwin
These parts make up the central nervous system (CNS).
What is the brain and spinal cord?
These membrane-bound sacs contain hydrolytic enzymes used by animal cells to digest macromolecules and old cell parts.
What are lysosomes?
Any living or non-living variable—such as food availability or space—that restricts a population from growing indefinitely.
What is a limiting factor?
This ubiquitous, multi-step diagnostic test differentiates bacteria into two large groups based on their cell wall composition
What is a Gram stain?
This person used X-ray diffraction images to identify the double helix structure of DNA.
Who was Rosalind Franklin?
Measured at roughly three millimeters long, the stapes—found in this specific part of the body—holds the title of the smallest bone.
What is the middle ear?
The physical location order for the central dogma in eukaryotic cells
What is the nucleus --> cytoplasm --> ribosome?
This specific type of organism has an unusually large effect on its ecosystem, and its removal can cause the entire ecosystem to collapse.
What is a keystone species?
These are the three steps of PCR.
What is denaturing, annealing, and extending?
This person is known as the father of genetics.
Who was Gregor Mendel.
These are the six most common elements in organisms.
What is CHNOPS - Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Phosphorous, Sulfur?
This initial, anaerobic stage of cellular respiration breaks down a single glucose molecule into two molecules of pyruvate.
What is glycolysis?
The type of population growth curve that features a distinct "S-shape" as resources become scarce.
What is logistic growth?
This diagnostic method utilizes enzyme-linked reactions to generate a color change, flagging the presence of specific antigens or antibodies in a sample.
What is an ELISA test?
Carolus Linnaeus developed this naming system.
What is binomial nomenclature?
In DNA replication, these are the segments of DNA that are synthesized discontinuously on the lagging strand.
What are Okazaki fragments?
Found inside chloroplasts, these stacks of disk-like thylakoid membranes are the primary site of the light-dependent reactions.
What are grana?
The process by which certain microscopic organisms around deep-sea hydrothermal vents produce energy from chemicals rather than sunlight.
What is chemosynthesis?
In standard normal-phase column chromatography using silica gel, which of the following best describes the polarity of the stationary and mobile phases?
What is a polar stationary phase and relatively non-polar mobile phase?
Who discovered penicillin, the first true antibiotic?
Who was Alexander Fleming?
This is the specific branch of biology dedicated entirely to the study of fungi, including their genetic and biochemical properties.
What is mycology?
