Photosynthesis & Cellular Respirations
What do you call the following:
CO2 + H2O --> C9H1206 + O2
Chemical Equation
What are somatic cells?
Body cells
Describe a dominant allele/trait?
Stronger allele that masks weaker allele - will always show up in the phenotype; represented by a capital letter
What is sea-floor spreading? Where does it occur? (What type of crust is involved?)
What is energy?
The ability to do work.
What is the purpose of photosynthesis?
To make glucose
What are diploid cells?
Cells with two complete sets of chromosomes (pairs).
What is a recessive allele?
Weaker allelle that is masked by the dominant allele; to show up there has to be two recessive alleles in the genotype; represented by lowercase letter
At what boundry do earthquakes most often occur?
Transform boundary
What is an Elctromagnetic Wave?
A wave that travel through a vacuum/empty space.
What is the purpose of cellular respiration?
To make energy
What happens as sson as the zygote is created?
The zygote immediately starts Mitosis to grow.
The likelihood an event will occur is known as ______.
probability
What is the difference between an island arc volcano and a hot spot volcano?
Island arc volcano forms at a convergent boundary. Hot spot volcano forms int he MIDDLE of a plate (NOT at a boundary).
A wave in which the medium moves at right angles (Perpendicular) to the direction the wave is traveling.
What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?
CO2 + H2O --> C6H12O6 + O2
What is mitosis? What are the stages of mitosis?
Mitosis is cell division that creates new body cells for growth and repair. Stages: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
Define and give example of a heterzygous/hybrid gene
having DIFFERENT alleles for a genotype (Tt)
What causes the movement of the plates? Describe this process and why does it occur?
The plates are continuously moving because of convection currents int he mantle/asthenosphere.
What is a longitudinal wave?
What is the chemical equation for cellular respiration?
C6H12O6 + O2 --> CO2 + H2O
What are the big differences between Mitosis & Meiosis?
Mitosis produces SOMATIC (body) cells with 46 (23 pairs) of chromosones. Only one division.
Meiosis produces GAMETES with 23 chromosomes. Two divisions.
What is the difference between phenotype and genotype?
Genotype - genetic makeup of an organism (i.e., Aa, aa, AA)
What is a fault? What type of fault is formed at each boundary: divergent, convergent, and transform?
A fault is a break in rock because of the movement at the boundaries. Divergent --> normal fault; Convergent --> Reverse Fault; Transform --> Strike-Slip Fault
What kind of wave is a sound wave? What kind of wave is a light wave?
A sound wave is a longitudinal wave. A light wave is an electromagnectic wave.
