Cells
The basic unit of a living thing.
The passing down of traits from one generation to the next.
What is genetics/heredity?
The process where plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to make food (glucose) and oxygen.
What is Photosynthesis?
The gradual change in species over time.
What is Evolution?
A deer, a tree, and a mushroom are all examples of this.
What are Organisms?
The plant structure that contains chlorophyll, giving the plant its green color, and traps energy from sunlight.
What is Chlorophyll?
Genetic makeup of an organism; its combination of alleles (example: Tt, TT, tt).
What is a Genotype?
The process where cells break down glucose to make energy.
What is Cellular Respiration?
Body structures that look similar have similar/different functions, are from a common ancestor, and show divergent evolution.
What is a Homologous Structure?
All the deer living in the same forest make up what ecological level?
What is a Population?
The two cell parts found in a plant cell, but are NOT found in an animal cell.
What is a Cell Wall, and Chlorophyll?
Different traits from genotypes (example: Tt=Long hair, tt=Short hair).
What is a phenotype?
Where does photosynthesis happen, and where does cellular respiration happen?
Body structures that look different have similar functions, are not from a common ancestor, and show convergent evolution.
What is an Analogous Structure?
A forest contains deer, squirrels, birds, trees, and insects. All of these living populations together make up what?
What is a Community?
The one cell parts found in an animal cell, but are NOT found in a plant cell.
What are lysosomes?
Complete a Punnett square for someone who is heterozygous for tall and for someone who is homozygous for short (include a key for what each letter equals).
What is Tt, Tt, tt, tt?
The reactants and products of photosynthesis?
What is... carbon dioxide + water + sunlight = glucose + oxygen?
A rabbit population includes brown and white rabbits. Hawks more easily spot the white rabbits, so more brown rabbits survive and reproduce. What evolutionary process is occurring?
What is natural selection?
A pond contains fish, algae, frogs, water, sunlight, and rocks, all interacting together to survive. This pond is an example of what?
What is an ecosystem?
The name of the scientist who first discovered cells by looking at cork.
Who is Robert Hooke?
James is homozygous for brown hair. His wife also has brown hair, but one of their children has red hair. What is his wife's genotype?
What is Bb?
The reactants and products of cellular respiration.
What is... glucose + oxygen = carbon dioxide + water + ATP (energy)?
A forest fire leaves only 10 of 1,000 beetles alive. The surviving beetles have much less genetic diversity than the original population. What evolutionary mechanism occurred?
What is the Bottleneck Effect?
A beaver builds dams, feeds on trees, and creates wetland habitats used by many other species. This description best explains the beaver's what?
What is an Ecological Niche?
