This theory explains how mitochondria and chloroplasts originated from free-living prokaryotes.
What is the endosymbiotic theory.

This type of neuron carries electrical impulses from sensory receptors to the central nervous system.
Sensory neuron
100
These muscles, found between each rib, contracts during inhalation.
External intercostals
100
This kidney sits higher than the other in the human body.
Left kidney

This hormone promotes cell elongation and is responsible for phototropism in plants.
Auxin
200
This form of active transport uses vesicles to move large particles into the cell.
Endocytosis
200
This insulating layer, formed by Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system, increases the speed of nerve impulse transmission.
Myelin Sheath

Letter B is outlining the range of what type of lung volume?
Tidal Volume
200
This structure forces small molecules out of the blood under high pressure during ultrafiltration.
Glomerulus
200
This process moves sugars from leaves to other parts of the plant via the phloem.
Translocation
300
These small, circular DNA molecules in prokaryotes often carry genes for antibiotic resistance and can be transferred between cells.
Plasmids
300
This junction between two neurons allows transmission of a signal using neurotransmitters rather than direct electrical contact.
Synapse
300
As each oxygen molecule binds, it alters the confirmation of haemoglobin, making it easier for oxygen to be loaded. What is this called?
Cooperative binding
300
This part of the nephron is responsible for selective reabsorption of glucose, amino acids, and ions.
Proximal Convoluted Tubule

Daily Double: Is Ms. Ebert a good plant mom? Why/why not?
No, because she is unable to keep living things alive if they do not vocally ask for food.
400
This is the general name of a virus that can infect bacteria.
Bacteriophage
400
Which membrane protein restores membrane resting potential by active transport of sodium and potassium ions?
Sodium-potassium pump
400
In which direction does the oxygen-dissociation curve shift during the Bohr Shift?
To the right, reducing affinity.
400
This hormone maintains the uterine lining after ovulation and during early pregnancy.
Progesterone

What type of vascular tissue does 1 represent and where would it be found in the plant?
Phloem in root
500
These stem cells only exist in early embryonic stages.
Totipotent
500
Where do neurotransmitters bind to once they are released from the presynaptic terminal ?
Receptors on the postsynaptic neuron membrane.
500
Which valves are closed during atrial systole?
Semi-lunar valves (aortic and pulmonary)
500
This process produces one mature egg and polar bodies through unequal cytokinesis.
oogenesis
500
Auxin suppresses the growth of side shoots in favor of the main shoot, a phenomenon called this.
Apical dominance
