Cell Parts and Functions
Houses DNA, coordinates growth/metabolism, found in the center of the cytoplasm of ALL eukaryotic cells
What is the nucleus?
One feature is NOT found in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes, name it:
Ribosome, DNA, Plasma Membrane, Mitosis, Cytoplasm
What is mitosis?
The smallest unit of evolution
What are populations?
Method that approaches logic from specific to general
What is inductive reasoning?
The broadest level of taxonomy
What is a domain?
Generates chemical energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration; also contains its own DNA
What is mitochondria
Cell division in prokaryotes
What is binary fission
A diagram representing the hypothesis of evolutionary history among different groups of organisms
What is a phylogenetic tree?
A specific, measurable outcome that you anticipate to see if the hypothesis is supported
What is a prediction?
A non-living infectious agent that has a nucleic acid core surrounded by a protein coat
What is a virus?
Packages proteins and lipids received from the endoplasmic reticulum
What is the golgi apparatus
Eukaryotes have a certain protein packed tightly within their chromosomes
What are histones?
An inherited trait or characteristic that enhances an organism's ability to survive and reproduce
What is an adaptation?
The group that receives the treatment and is being tested
What is an experimental group?
The theory that researchers believe resulted in the evolution of mitochondria and chloroplasts
What is the endosymbiotic theory?
Site of protein synthesis or translation, can float freely within the cytosol or be bound to the surface of rough endoplasmic reticulum
Prokaryotes store DNA in this part
Nucleoid
The differential survival and reproduction among organisms
What is natural selection?
A specific test carried out under regulated conditions
What is a controlled experiment?
The three domains of life
What are bacteria, archaea, and eukarya?
Provides structural support, anchors cells, and regulates cell communication/behavior. Found outside the plasma membrane of animal cells
What is the extracellular matrix
0.1 to 10 microns in size
What are prokaryotes?
Evolution is a process that is NOT ...
What is goal-oriented?
A factor that is changed or manipulated in an experiment
What is the independent variable?
The ideal surface area-to-volume ratio of cells
What is a high surface area-to-volume ratio?
