This organelle breaks down glucose to make ATP, earning it its name sake "the power house of the cell"
What is Mitochondria?
This term describes the nonliving parts of an ecosystem, such as sunlight, water, temperature, air, and rocks.
What is abiotic?
Traits are carried from parent to offspring through this molecule?
What is DNA?
This branch of biology studies how living organisms interact with each other and with their nonliving environment
What is Ecology
The smallest unit of life that can function independently or combine with other cells to form complex organisms
What are Cells?
A SINGLE sequence showing how energy passes from one organism to another.
What is a food chain?
An allele that is expressed when at least one copy is present.
What is Dominant
A community of living organisms interacting with each other and with the nonliving parts of their environment
What is an ecosystem?
This membrane-bound organelle contains an organism’s DNA and serves as the control center of the cell
What is the Nucleus?
An organism that makes its own food, usually through photosynthesis
What is a Producer?
The structures in cells that contain DNA and carry genetic information
What is a Chromosome?
A group of organisms of the same species living in the same area at the same time
What is a population?
This thin, flexible barrier surrounds the cell and controls what substances enter and leave, helping maintain a stable internal environment.
What is the Cell Membrane?
The largest number of individuals of a species that an environment can support over time with its available resource
What is Carrying Capacity?
A genotype containing two different alleles for a trait
What is heterogeneous?
All the different populations of living organisms that interact with one another in the same area
What is a community?
This structure is embedded in the cell membrane and allows specific molecules or ions to pass through the membrane
What are Protein Channels?
A biotic or abiotic factor that restricts the growth, size, or distribution of a population
What is a limiting factor?
An allele that is expressed only when an individual has two copies of it
What is recessive?
A species that has a disproportionately large effect on the structure and balance of its ecosystem compared with its abundance
What is a key stone species?
