Jingle Cells
This organelle is known as the powerhouse of the cell because it produces ATP.
What is the mitochondrion?
The genetic makeup of an organism, represented by two letters, such as TT or Tt.
What is a genotype?
This term describes the variety of life in a particular habitat or ecosystem.
What is biodiversity?
This term refers to the process by which organisms change over time through adaptations.
What is evolution?
These organic molecules are essential for life and include sugars, starches, and cellulose.
What are carbohydrates?
This semi-permeable structure surrounds the cell and controls what enters and exits.
What is the plasma membrane?
This term describes different forms of a gene that may exist for a particular trait.
What is allele?
This is the maximum population size that an environment can sustain indefinitely.
What is carrying capacity?
This naturalist is known for his theory of evolution through natural selection.
Who is Charles Darwin?
This term refers to the smallest unit of an element that retains the properties of that element.
What is an atom?
This organelle is responsible for protein synthesis in the cell.
What is a ribosome?
This process results in the formation of gametes with half the number of chromosomes.
What is meiosis?
This term describes the role and position a species has in its environment.
What is a niche?
This concept explains how species evolve from a common ancestor.
What is common descent?
This process converts light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose, primarily occurring in the chloroplasts.
What is photosynthesis?
This organelle modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery to other organelles.
What is the Golgi apparatus?
This refers to the observable traits of an organism.
What is phenotype?
This process involves the gradual replacement of one ecosystem by another over time.
What is ecological succession?
This type of evolution occurs when two unrelated species develop similar traits due to similar environments.
What is convergent evolution?
This anaerobic process allows cells to generate energy without oxygen, resulting in byproducts such as lactic acid or ethanol.
What is fermentation?
This structure is involved in the synthesis of lipids and detoxification of drugs and poisons, and it lacks ribosomes.
What is smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
This guy is known as the father of modern genetics
Who is Gregor Mendel?
This type of symbiotic relationship benefits one organism while the other is neither helped nor harmed.
What is commensalism?
This term refers to the preservation of favorable traits in a population over generations.
What is natural selection?
This pathway is responsible for breaking down glucose into pyruvate, producing a small amount of ATP in the absence of oxygen.
What is glycolysis?
