The concept that organisms that are the best suited to their environment will be the most successful...the best traits are selected to be passed on.
What is natural selection?
Both organisms benefit from this type of symbiotic relationship.
What is mutualism?
Which organisms have the most available energy and are at the bottom of a food pyramid?
Producers
The process in which DNA is turned into RNA
What is the transcription?
A homozygous tall plant (TT) is crossed with a homozygous short plant (tt). What is the probability of a short offspring?
What is zero?
Water molecules stick to other surfaces, for example water droplets sticking to a leaf
What is adhesion?
What is secondary succession (soil is already present).
Starts with bare rock
What is primary succession?
A molecule that speeds up chemical reactions
What are enzymes?
Name of the processes illustrated.
What is mitosis (left) and meiosis (right)?
How much energy is lost from one trophic level to the next?
90%
movement of ions, and molecules across cell membranes without the need for energy input
What is passive transport?
Organic compound that serves as insulation and long-term energy
What is a lipid?
What type of mutation has occurred?
Original DNA: A T T C G A
Mutated DNA: C T T C G A
What is substitution?
If the producers contain 10,000 Kcal, then how much energy will the secondary consumers contain?
What is 100 Kcal?
The legs of crocodiles and cats have similar bone structures and develop in a similar way which indicates a common ancestor. What type of structures are the leg bones? Analogous or Homologous?
What are homologous structures?
Found in all living things and shaped like a double helix
What is DNA?
The first plants and animals to live in a newly available ecosystem.
Which type of movement across a cell's membrane requires energy supplied by ATP?
Active transport
The purpose of cellular respiration.
What is energy production (make ATP)?
The process by which water moves through the cell membrane to balance out a high concentration of solutes.
What is osmosis?
Cell type of animals, plants, fungi, & protists...contain a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles
What is eukaryotic?
Organic compound built from amino acids
What is a protein?
Describe commensalism.
A relationship where one species benefits from another species and that species is not harmed or helped.
The maximum amount of organisms an ecosystem can support.
What is carrying capacity?
