Seven Characteristics of Living Organisms/Data
The process by which heritable traits let organisms survive and reproduce better in certain environments
What is natural selection?
The powerhouse of the cell that produces ATP
What is the mitochondria?
Glucose is an example of this type of monomer
What is a monosaccharide?
The two reactants for photosynthesis
What are carbon dioxide and water?
A group of individuals that belong to the same species and live in the same area
What is a population?
The variable that belongs on the y axis of a graph
What is a dependent variable?
These two organelles are responsible for removing toxic wastes from the cell
What are lysosomes and peroxisomes?
Steroids are an example of this type of macromolecule
What is a lipid?
The two reactants for respiration
What are glucose and oxygen?
Small bits of organic matter dissolved into the soil
Detritus
The manner by which a stable internal environment is maintained in an organism
What is homeostasis?
This organelle is for information storage and contains instructions for the cells tasks
What is the nucleus?
The two major forms of information storage in a cell
What are DNA and RNA?
The location of the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis
What is the stroma?
These organisms break down larger pieces of dead organisms into smaller pieces
The metabolic breakdown of complex molecules into simpler molecules
What is catabolism?
This organelle is made mostly of water and is a the site of most cellular activities, such as glycolysis
What is the cytoplasm?
Hundreds of amino acids strung together form this type of polymer
What is a polypeptide?
The total amount of ATP produced during aerobic respiration
What is 36?
A group of ecosystems that share similar organisms and climates
What is a biome?
The two ways in which the cells of living organisms enable the organism to grow
What is (1) the growth of cells and (2) the division of cells to form more cells?
This type of organism ultimately becomes an organelle in a eukaryote according to the endosymbiotic theory
What is a prokaryote?
This macromolecule aids in the movement of cellular components and assists in chemical reactions
What is a protein?
The two main products of fermentation
What are ethanol and carbon dioxide?
a) The amount of energy that is lost between trophic levels and b) the law that is illustrated by this energy loss
What is 10% and the 2nd law of thermodynamics?
