Structure and Processes
This is what all living things are made of.
what are cells?
a repeating pattern of the same molecules forming a chain are called this.
what are polymers?
This is where glycolysis happens.
What is the cytosol?
This is the limit on population as established by the available resources
What is carrying capacity?
These organisms are at the base of the food chain or food web
what are producers
we are different from other organisms this way.
What is the arragement of our DNA?
This graduate student and his advisor created a simulation of early atmospheric gasses which resulted in a premordial soup.
Who are Miller and Urey?
This number reflects the amount of ATP that can be made by one glucose molecule
What is 38?
This economist inspired the likes of Charles Darwin and other likeminded scientists with his understanding of the rate of growth for populations and resources and naming the point of intersection the "point of crisis"
Who is Thomas Robert Malthus
We are considered these type of predators at the top of the food chain
what are apex predators
These chromosome determin your gender
What are x and y chromosomes?
These gasses were involved in the Miller-Urey experiment.
What are Methane, Ammonia and Hydrogen?
These are the three stages of cellular respiration
What is glycolysis, the kreb cycle and the electron transport train
These factors limit population growth.
What is disease, hunting, predation, loss of habitat, old age, weather, starvation, human development and accidents
This internal need drives the food web
what is homeostasis?
Maintaining balance internally while changes happen externally
what is homeostasis?
these three accepted ideas answer how polymers were originally formed.
What is by hydro-thermal vents, by tidal pools and by the panspermia hypothesis?
these molecules can transfer excited electrons.
What are ATP, NADH and FADH2
This best explains why preditors and prey have similar life cycles.
What is an increase of decreas in one population effects the other?
This amount of energy transfered from one tropic level to another.
What is 10%?
These are the differences between RNA and DNA
What is single strand and double strand; thymine and uricil; original and copy
An enzyme is defined this way for the test.
What is a folded chain (polymers) of amino acids with the ability to break or build molecules?
This is how many FADH2 and NADH molecules are made after two turns on the Krebs Cycle
what is 8. (6 FADH2 and 2 NADH)
An example of this type of factor is "Many eggs in a population of frogs are destroyed due to a drought."
what is density-dependant
This organisms effects the ability for any biosphere or ecosystem to collapse of thrive
What is Homosapiens (wiseman)... 3 seconds
