The diagram below shows the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration and the organelles in which they occur.
Which statement describes how photosynthesis and cellular respiration are interrelated?
What is Carbon dioxide and water released by cellular respiration are used in photosynthesis?
300
Why is the Genetic Code considered universal?
What is because all species use the same four bases A,T,C and G, and each base sequence codes for the same amino acid in all species?

A team of ecologists observed feeding patterns of several populations in the desert. The energy pyramid shown below depicts the feeding patterns the ecologist observed.
What best explains the difference in the amount of available energy in the trophic levels of the desert ecosystem?
What is there is less available energy in the fourth trophic level because of the loss of energy through metabolism in each of the lower trophic levels.

The rate at which blood flows through the human body changes in response to many factors.
Describe one such factor and its effect on blood flow?
What is a high viscosity of blood causes an increased resistance in the blood vessels and leads to
slow blood flow.

After an initial infection, B-cells recognize the measles virus. How is this helpful in human immune response?
What is the B-cells produce antibodies more quickly if the measles virus is encountered again.

A weightlifter is using heavy weights in short bursts for a competition. Because his muscle cells are not able to take in enough oxygen to make very much ATP the weightlifter begins to get fatigue in his muscles. Which of the following processes is most likely going on in the muscles of the weightlifter as he competes in his event?
What is as the cells run out of oxygen they switch to anaerobic respiration, which allows the cell to make small amounts of ATP in the absence of oxygen?

Whaling was a very profitable profession until whale populations crashed. The global community came together to enact a ban on whaling. However, Japan and Norway have not agreed to stop whaling. Which of the following is the most likely consequence of their decision?
What is the whale populations are not rebounding as quickly as they might if all of the countries agreed not to hunt whales.

Please describe the connection between cardiovascular disease and age?
What is as people age, plaque builds up in the arteries increasing vessel resistance, which leads to disease.

Although vaccines cannot be used to treat a person who is sick, they can help to prevent infections. Vaccinations tell the body to create "memory cells", which will function later to create antibodies against certain pathogens. When a person is vaccinated, what are they injected with?
What is weakened/dead viruses or antigens from the virus?

When fertilizers run off farmland into streams and ponds, the nitrogen content of the water increases. This can lead to rapid growth of algae in a process called eutrophication. How can this process affect other organisms in the water?
What is Oxygen is used up as algae is decomposed, reducing the amount available to other organisms?
