If a species does not adapt to their environment, what would most likely happen to them?
They would become extinct.
Heterotrophs consume food for energy.
What are the three differences between a plant and an animal cell?
Plants have chloroplasts, a cell wall, and one large vacuole. Animal cells have many small vacuoles.
What are the reactants of photosynthesis?
What are the reactants of cellular respiration?
Photosynthesis: CO2 and H2O
Cellular respiration: C6H12O6 and O2
What are the three stages of the cell cycle? What stage does DNA replicate?
interphase, mitosis, cytokinesis
DNA replicates during interphase.
What two processes lead to genetic variation?
mutations and sexual reproduction.
What are examples of biotic factors?
What are examples of abiotic factors?
(any living thing) plants, animals
(any non-living thing) rocks, water, sun
What are the differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes?
Prokaryotes don't have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Eukaryotes do have a nucleus and membrane bound organelles.
What are the products of photosynthesis?
What are the products of cellular respiration?
Photosynthesis: C6H12O6 and O2
Cellular respiration: CO2 and H2O
What type of cells does mitosis produce?
What type of cells does meiosis produce?
Mitosis: body cells
Meiosis: reproductive cells
What provides evidence to the theory of evolution?

What is the process where water molecules move through the cell membrane from a high concentration to a low concentration?
Osmosis
Are the offspring genetically varied or identical to the parents from asexual reproduction?
Are the offspring genetically varied or identical to the parents from sexual reproduction?
Asexual Reproduction: Identical
Sexual Reproduction: genetically varied
What term describes how the more fit organisms better survive their environment and reproduce new offspring?
