Photosynthesis
What are the 2 energy-storing molecules produced in the Light Reaction?
ATP and NADPH
This is the SHAPE DNA is described as.
Double-helix
What is one way ecologists can model the flow of energy in an ecosystem?
Any one of the following:
Food chain, food web, trophic level pyramid
Using the letter B -> write a homozygous dominant genotype
BB
Where is DNA stored?
Nucelus
What is the location of the Calvin Cycle? Be specific.
The Stroma.
This gas reactant of photosynthesis enters the plant from the air through pores in the leaves.
What is carbon dioxide?
What does DNA stand for?
deoxyribonucleic acid
Which symbiotic relationship describes both species benefitting from the relationship?
Mutualism
Create a Punnett square for a brown-eyed (BB) person and a green-eyed person (bb).
See Punnett squares
T/F DNA mutation can be good for some organisms.
True
What reactant is used in the Calvin Cycle?
What is CO2?
Where is the location of the light-dependent reaction? Be specific.
Thylakoid
During replication, why is the lagging strand given that name?
It's called the lagging strand because it takes longer to replicate. It is built in chunks called Okazaki fragments and must wait for helicase to unzip another section of the 5' to 3'.
What type of organisms are humans? Autotroph, heterotroph, or decomposer? AND tell me why.
Humans are heterotrophs because they rely on other organisms for their food and energy.
Indicate whether the genotype is heterozygous or homozygous.
Ee
Heterozygous
Give an example of a parasitism relationship.
Examples may vary...
humans & mosquitos
dogs & ticks
What is the product of the Calvin Cycle?
Glucose!
T/F. The 3 reactants for photosynthesis are oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water.
False. They are SUNLIGHT, carbon dioxide, water.
Which enzyme that untwists the double helix at the replication forks, separating the two parental strands and making them available as template strands?
Helicase
What is the difference between abiotic and biotic factors? Give an example of each from your ecosystem project.
Abiotic factors are nonliving parts of the environment.
Biotic factors are all living organisms in an environment.
Both parents have brown eyes (Bb). What is the percentage that the offspring will have blue eyes (bb)?
25%
What organelle does photosynthesis take place in?
Chloroplast
Explain what a detritivore is and give an example.
A detritivore only eats plants and animal remains.
Examples include worms, mites, crabs.
T/F. Oxygen, carbon dioxide, and glucose are the products of photosynthesis.
False. Glucose & oxygen are the products.
Name the 4 nitrogenous base names and identify which pairing bases.
Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine
Pairs: Adenine - Thymine, Guanine - Cytosine
If the organism I am focusing on is a butterfly, then what would be its population? Hint: Think of the levels in organization.
The butterfly's population would include all other butterflies in the same area that interact with one another.
One parent has brown eyes (BB) and one parent has blue eyes (bb). What is the percentage that the offspring will have brown eyes and what is the percentage that the offspring will have blue eyes?
100% for brown and 0% for blue
Explain the differences between herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores.
Herbivores only eat plants. Carnivores only eat animals. Omnivores eat both plants and animals.
What is another name for the Calvin Cycle?
The Light Independent Reaction
What is the entire chemical formula for photosynthesis?
6H2O + 6CO2 + Sunlight -> C6H12O6 + 6O2
Which enzyme proofreads the replicated DNA for errors?
DNA polymerase
Give me an example of a food chain with at least 4 organisms.
See examples. They must include at least 4 organisms and show the flow of energy.
One parent has Brown eyes (Bb) one parent has blue eyes. What is the percentage that the offpsring will be a carrier of blue eyes?
100%
Why can't the Calvin Cycle begin until the Light Reaction is finished?
The Calvin Cycle is powered by the products from the Light Reaction (ATP and NADPH).
