What is Binomial Nomenclature?
What is formal system of naming species of living things by giving each a name composed of two parts.
100
What is Homeostasis?
What is The tendency toward a relatively stable equilibrium between interdependent elements, esp. as maintained by physiological processes.
100
Name the 5 differences between mitosis and meiosis.
1. resulting number of chromosomes are different
2. homologous chromosomes pair up before division for meiosis.
3. mitosis occurs for somatic (body) cells and meiosis occurs for gametes.
4. meiosis is twice the division of mitosis.
5. overlapping of chromosome pairs occurs only in meiosis

What is an antigen?
What is A toxin or other foreign substance that induces an immune response in the body, esp. the production of antibodies.
200
Name the four main classes of macromolecules and tell what three elements all of these contain?
What is The four main classes of macromolecules are Proteins, Sugars, Lipids and nucleic acids. The three elements are Hydrogen, Oxygen, and Nitrogen.
200
What is the 7 levels of Taxa and the decreasing diversity of them?
What is Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species.
200
What are the three types of nerves?
What is Motor, Sensory, and Autonomous.
200
What are Mendel's two laws?
What is "Segregation of Characteristics."
"Independent Assortment"
200
What is Nucleic Acid?
What is A complex organic substance present in living cells, esp. DNA or RNA, whose molecules consist of many nucleotides linked in a long chain.
300
What is simple diffusion?
What is A process whereby a substance passes through a membrane without the aid of an intermediary such as a integral membrane protein.
300
What are Autotrophs and heterotrophs cells?
What is Animal and bacteria are heterotrophs, and plants are autotrophs.
300
What are the four main blood types?
What is:
-Type A. This blood type has a marker known as "A."
-Type B. This blood type has a marker known as "B."
-Type AB. The blood cells in this type have both A and B markers.
-Type O. This blood type has neither A or B markers.
300
Who is Mendel and what did he study/experiment with?
What is and Augustinian friar and he studied/experimented with pea plants.
300
What is Osmosis?
What is Diffusion of a solvent (usually water molecules) through a semi-permeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration.
400
What is active transport?
What is The movement of a substance across a cell membrane against its concentration gradient (from low to high concentration).
400
What is an antigen is and how do we use them to make antibodies?
What is a protein produced that is used by the immune system to identify and neutralize foreign objects such as bacteria and viruses. These cells trigger lymphocytes to produce antibodies. Antibodies and their responding antigens fit together like a key and a lock.
400
What is the definition of the reproductive system?
What is organs and tissues involved in the production and maturation of gametes and in their union and subsequent development as offspring.
400
What are the two main types of stem cells and a benefit of each one?
What is adult and embryonic stem cells. Benefit of adult cells since they normally differentiate into a narrow set of cell types, directing them to a desired fate is easier. Embryonic have the chance to become any type of cell.
400
What is Archeabacteria?
What is A family and Microorganisms that are similar to bacteria in size and simplicity of structure but radically different in molecular organization. They are now believed to constitute an ancient intermediate group between the bacteria and eukaryotes
500
What is ATP and its uses.
What is adenosine triphosphate and acts as a battery for cells and provides energy for many vital functions.
500
What are the three importance's of fungi?
What is Biocontrol, Medicine, and Recycling.
500
What are the types of joints found in the Musculoskeletal System?
What is Ball and Socket, Pivot, Gliding, and Hinge.
500
What is a Karyotype chart?
What is a picture of a person's chromosomes.
500
What is Cytokenesis?
What is The cytoplasmic division of a cell at the end of mitosis or meiosis, bringing about the separation into two daughter cells.
