Body system regulation
Regulation of salt and water inside the body. Water moves from an area of low salt concentration to high salt concentration.
Osmoregulation
Central
Peripheral
Automatic
The 3 types of nervous systems
The effect that happens when a few individuals establish a new population at a new location, causing the allele frequency to suddenly change
Founder effect
Term for the maximum number of individuals that an ecosystem can support.
Carrying capacity
The 2 subdivisions of the immune system
Adaptive (specific) and Innate (non specific)
The form of energy that cells can use. It releases stored energy and is coupled with chemical reactions.
ATP
The name of the junctions where neuron interactions occur.
Synapse
The effect that happens when a disaster drastically reduces the size of a population at a location.
Bottleneck effect
Term for the number of individuals of a species per unit area or per unit volume of a habitat.
Population density
The 2 steps that lead to protein production
Transcribing a gene into messenger RNA (mRNA)
Translating mRNA into a protein
Filtration
Reabsorption
Secretion
The 3 steps of urine formation
Process in which positively charged sodium ions rush into the neuron
Depolarization
Type of speciation in which there is no contact between populations
Allopatric speciation
Term that describes how individuals are scattered throughout a habitat (either clumped, uniform, or random patterns)
Population distribution
Term for the ordered sequence of events that occur in a cell in preparation for cell division. It is a four-stage process.
Cell cycle
The most important structural unit of the kidney
Nephrons
In a neuron, the ___ receives information and the ___ communicates that information to a neighboring cell.
Dendrites, Axon
Type of speciation in which populations share a border area.
Parapatric speciation
The impact of this factor is unrelated to population size. Examples: natural disasters, such as a hurricane, tornado, or flood.
Density Independent Factors
Prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase
The 5 phases of mitosis
The process that makes ATP. The 3 cycles involved are Glycolysis, Krebs Cycle, and the Electron Transport Chain.
Cellular Respiration
Term for the stack of membrane sacs that acts as a “processing center”
Golgi apperatus
Type of speciation in which there is continuous contact between populations
Sympatric speciation
A limiting factor of a population where large, dense populations are more affected than small, less crowded ones. Examples: predation, competition, food supply, infectious disease.
Density Dependent Factors
__ is the type of cell division that creates egg and sperm cells, __ is the type of cell division in which a cell duplicates its contents to produce 2 identical daughter cells.
Meiosis, Mitosis
