Unit 1: Ecosystems
An omnivore is an animal that eats both plants and animal origins.
What is a relationship between two species where the parasite benefits from the other species and the host is harmed?
Parasitism
What are the products of photosynthesis?
Oxygen and glucose
What is the order of mitosis?
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase (PMAT)
What is transcription?
DNA copied to mRNA
What is a relationship between two organisms in which one organism benefits and the other is unharmed?
Commensalism
If the carrying capacity of a predator decreases, what will happen to the carrying capacity of the prey?
It will increase
In what part of the cell does photosynthesis occur?
Chloroplast
What two processes of mitosis aren't technically part of the cycle but still are needed for mitosis to happen?
Interphase and Cytokinesis.
How many different forms of RNA is there?
3
What is a relationship between two organisms in which two organisms compete for the same prey?
Competition
What does a food chain always start with?
Producer
What is the function of the cell?
To protect the cell
Which sequence of DNA bases would pair with this partial strand: ATG TGA CAG?
TAC ACT GTC
What is a single cell organism that lacks a membrane bound nucleus, mitochondria, or any other membrane bound organelle
prokaryote
Will competition increase or decrease the carrying capacity of an ecosystem for the animal in competition?
Decrease
What is a relationship in which two different organisms live in close association with each other?
Mutualism
What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?
Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose. Glucose is used as food by the plant and oxygen is a by-product. Cellular respiration converts oxygen and glucose into water and carbon dioxide.
Which type of cell membrane bound organelles?
eukaryotes
Which type of sugar is DNA?
Deoxyribose
When a population grows past the ecosystems carrying capacity, what happens to the population?
The population starts to die off to return to carrying capacity.
What will add more organisms to a population
3 animals migrate to the population
Which organelle from the plant cell is primarily responsible for converting sunlight into energy.
Chloroplast
What does RNA stand for?
ribonucleic acid
In which process of mitosis do two daughter cells separate from the parent cell?
Cytokinesis
