Miscellaneous
In this type of relationship the Parasite benefits at the cost of another organism
Parasitism
Photosynthesis occurs in this organelle
The Chloroplast
List the trophic levels in order starting with the largest level
Primary producers, Primary Consumers, Secondary consumers, Tertiary Consumers, Decomposers
What is the source of energy for nearly all organisms on Earth?
The Sun
What are the 4 main types of Macromolecules we covered in class?
Carbohydrates, Proteins, Lipids, Nucleic Acids
What is a Symbiotic relationship?
A relationship where two organisms both benefit from their relationship
What are the inputs/outputs for Photosynthesis
Input= CO2 + H2O
Output= Sugars + O2(oxygen)
These organisms harness the Sun's energy through photosynthesis to make their own energy rich compounds
Autotrophs
How much energy is retained as we move up trophic levels?
10%
What is the term we use to describe the basic building block of macromolecules
Monomer
In this type of relationship one organism benefits while the other is unaffected
Commensalism
This is the pigment responsible for absorbing visible light
Chlorophyll
These organisms feed chemically by breaking down organic matter
Decomposers
What type of organism is at the top of a food chain?
Apex predator
What is the primary function of Nucleic Acids
Storing/Transferring genetic information
What is the main purpose of Cellular Respiration?
To convert glucose into ATP
These types of reactions use energy from sunlight to produce ATP and NAPDH
Light Dependent Reactions
A vulture is an example of what type of organism
Scavenger
What type of organisms make up the base level in a food web/chain?
Primary Producers/Autotrophs
What macromolecule is primarily involved in energy transfer within cells?
Carbohydrates
What is a byproduct of Cellular Respiration?
CO2
ATP and NADPH molecules produced in the light-dependent reactions are used to produce high-energy sugars from carbon dioxide in this..
Light Independent Reactions
A spider is considered what type of organism
