100
This bond formed between two amino acids in a protein structure
What is a peptide bond?
100
This is the process of breaking down the sugar glucose into two pyruvate molecules, with the goal of harvesting some of its energy in the form of ATP and NADH.
What is Glycolysis?
100
This enzyme is used to connect Okazaki fragments in the lagging strand during DNA replication
What is ligase?
100
The maximum number of individuals a particular habitat can sustain.
What is the carrying capacity?
100
This type of interaction occurs between two organisms that both benefit
What is Mutualism?
200
This structure consists of outer hydrophilic heads that interact with both the aqueous external and internal environment of a cell, with hydrophobic inner tails.
What is a Phospholipid bilayer?
200
In aerobically respiring organisms, the pyruvate will be fed into this cycle which produces more NADH to be used in oxidative phosphorylation
What is the Krebs cycle (citric acid cycle)?
200
The start signal for RNA polymerase, encoded within the DNA
What is a promoter?
200
This method involves going out into the environment catching a subset of individuals, marking them, and then catching another subset in order to estimate the overall size of the population of individuals.
What is the mark and recapture method?
200
A species of lobster likes to live on the rocky reef as well as on the sandy sea floor but chooses to only live in this type of niche on the sandy floor because octopuses have taken up residence on the reef.
What is a realized niche?
300
This is a type of lipid that contains double bonds within its long fatty acid chains.
What is an unsaturated triglyceride?
300
With no oxygen present, pyruvate can instead be fed into this pathway
What is fermentation?
300
This type of mutation involves prematurely placing a stop codon in your reading frame
What is a nonsense mutation?
300
Under this condition, the logistic equation reduces to a simple exponential growth equation
What is N << K?
300
This type of competition can arise due to a lack of resources within a habitat involving two or more different species
What is interspecific competition?
400
The strongest bond that can form between two of these molecules.
What is an ionic bond?
400
The electron donor in oxygenic photosynthesis
What is H2O?
400
This process involves removing non-coding introns out of mRNA before translation
What is splicing?
400
This type of survivorship curve deals with a constant death rate per unit time.
What is type II ?
400
This interaction is a VERY strong selective force shaping the very nature of species. It can result in certain species developing chemical/mechanical defenses as well as cryptic coloration.
What is predation?
500
This amino acid can form a covalent bond with itself.
What is cysteine?
500
This cycle in photosynthesis can take place in the dark and requires the enzyme rubisco to convert CO2 to glucose
What is the Calvin cycle?
500
This molecule corresponds to one of the triplet codons of the genetic code, and serves as the “translator” between the As, Cs, Gs, and Us of the mRNA and the 20 amino acids that make up proteins.
What is tRNA?
500
A baby boom occurred this many years before the year 2000 in the UK.
What is ~35 years ago?
500
Eukaryotic organism consumes another eukaryotic organism
What is Secondary Endosymbiosis?
