What is the basic structure of DNA?
DNA is made up of nucleotides, which include a phosphate group, a sugar, and a nitrogenous base.
100
What evidence supports the theory of evolution?
Evidence includes fossils, comparative anatomy, and genetic similarities among species.

What is the role of producers in an ecosystem?
Producers, like plants, create energy through photosynthesis, forming the base of the food chain.
200
Has no nucleus or membrane-bound organelles
Prokaryotic cell/Prokaryote
200
Where is ATP made?
Mitochondria
200
What is the process of transcription?
It is the process of copying a segment of DNA into mRNA.
200
Describe the process of natural selection.
Survival of the fittest

What is commensalism?
A relationship where one organism benefits and the other is unaffected.

Active Transport

What is the monomer of proteins?
Amino acids

How does DNA determine the traits of an organism?
The sequence of nucleotides is different for each organism.
300
What is the significance of genetic drift?
It is a mechanism of evolution that can lead to changes in a population's gene pool due to chance events.

Name a secondary consumer
rat, frog, dragonfly, thrush

What are the phases of the cell cycle?
G1, S, G2, M
400
Which part of the plant is responsible for photosynthesis?
Leaf

In aliens, green hair is dominant over purple hair. If a heterozygous alien and a homozygous recessive alien have kids, what are the possible genotypes for their offspring?
Aa and aa (homozygous recessive and heterozygous)
400
What is the founder effect?
A small group of individuals leave the original population and start their own
400
What would happen to the food web if the corn population went extinct?
Grasshopper population would decrease; frog population would decrese, rat population would decrease
500
What causes cancer?
Unregulated cell cycle
500
How do enzymes influence cellular processes?
Enzymes act as catalysts to speed up chemical reactions in the cell.
500
How does meiosis contribute to genetic diversity?
Meiosis includes processes like independent assortment and crossing-over, which increase genetic variation.
500
Compare gradualism and punctuated equilibrium.
Gradualism suggests evolution occurs slowly over time, while punctuated equilibrium suggests that evolution occurs in quick, significant changes followed by periods of stability.

If the producers get 45612 kJ of energy from the sun, how much energy do the primary consumers get?
45612 kJ x 10% = 4561.2 kJ
