Exam 1
Scientists test this when carrying out an experiment
What is a Hypothesis?
The process of providing or obtaining the food necessary for health and growth
What is Nutrition?
These are specialized reproductive cells
What are Gametes?
This is formed by interacting populations of different species in a defined habitat
What is a Community?
This organ is found in the abdomen and takes up most of the space there
What is the liver?
A hypothesis supported by many years of testing and verified research
What is a Scientific Theory?
These lower the activation energy of a chemical reaction, allowing the reaction to proceed easier
What is an enzyme?
The word for the genetic make-up of an organism at a specific location
What is Genotype?
Commonly referred to as a 'mechanism' of evolution
What is Natural Selection?
What is the Mitochondria?
These large molecules are made of smaller subunits known as monomers
What are Macromolecules?
This cellular process converts energy into ATP without Oxygen present
What is Fermentation?
A disease in which one copy of the gene is enough for a person to be affected
The process by which different kinds of living organisms are thought to have developed and diversified from earlier forms during the history of eart
What is Evolution?
What are the Producers?
Carbon that is covalently bound to carbon and hydrogen atoms
What is an Organic Molecule?
This is the first step of aerobic respiration
What is Glycolysis?
In an X-linked disorder in which the mother is a carrier, this is the percentage of her sons you would expect to be affected by the disease
What is 50%?
The response of a population to environmental pressures so that advantageous traits become more common
What is Adaptation?
This tube leads from the bladder through the genitalia to expel urine outside the body
What is the Urethra?
These are the four major monomers needed for the formation of Polysaccharides, Proteins, Fatty Acids, and Nucleic Acids.
What are Monosaccharides, Amino Acids, Lipids, and Nucleotides?
This diffusion occurs when large or hydrophilic molecules cross the cell membrane from a high concentration to a low concentration with the help of a membrane protein
What is Facilitated Diffusion?
When heterozygotes have a phenotype that is intermediate between the homozygous dominant and recessive phenotypes
What is Incomplete Dominance?
The Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium demonstrates
What is a baseline frequency in which to measure evolution?
This is the equation associated with the Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium that finds genotype frequencies of a population
What is p2+2pq+q2=1 ?
