Intro to Biology
The hierarchical structure of life starting from a cell to an organism.
What is Cell -> Tissue -> Organ -> System -> Organism?
The four most common elements in living organisms
What is Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen and Nitrogen (C,H,O,N)
The disaccharide sucrose is formed by these two monosaccharides.
What is Glucose and Fructose?
The building blocks or monomers of a lipid.
What is Glycerol and Fatty acid?
Cells that lack a membrane-enclosed nucleus.
What are Prokaryotes?
The ability of an organism to maintain constant internal conditions
What is Homeostasis?
Particles found in the nucleus of an atom.
What are Protons and Neutrons?
Organic compound held together by specialized covalent bonds called peptide bonds.
What are Protiens?
The energy currency used by cells.
What is ATP?
Organelle in a cell that contains thylakoids.
What is a Chloroplast?
The tree in your backyard is home to two cardinals, a colony of ants, a wasp's nest, two squirrels, and millions of bacteria. Together, all of these organisms represent
What is Community?
In the compound in the following equation 2 H2 + O2 → 2 H2O.
What is H2O?
The storage form of carbohydrates in animals and in plants.
What is Glycogen and Starch?
The three types of passive transport.
What is Simple Diffusion, Facilitated Diffusion and Osmosis?
Organelle responsible for processing the proteins secreted from the ER and the shipment of those proteins.
What is the Golgi Apparatus?
The property of life where single-celled organisms duplicate their genetic materials, and then divide it equally to produce two new cells.
What is Reproduction?
The atomic mass of an atom that has 6 protons, 6 neutrons, and 6 electrons.
What is 12?
The level of protein structure is associated with the sequence of amino acids.
What is Primary Structure?
A force that pushes the plasma membrane against the cell wall of a plant.
What is Turgor Pressure?
The chromosomes inherited from our parents are located in this organelle.
What is the Nucleus?
A diagram showing the evolutionary relationships among biological species based on similarities and differences in genetic or physical traits or both.
What is a Phylogenetic Tree?
Water's surface tension and heat storage capacity are accounted for by these bonds.
What is Hydrogen?
Fats with the maximum number of hydrogens, and contain all carbon to carbon single bonds.
What is Saturated?
A semi permeable membrane is stretched across a chamber filled with water. The membrane is only permeable to water. 60 mg of salt is added to the left side of the chamber. What moves and what side?
What is Water and to the Left?
Organelles found in practically every cell, both prokaryotic and eukaryotic.
What are Ribosomes?
