Cell Structure
This organelle is known as the powerhouse of the cell.
What is a mitochondrion? (mitochondria)
This process converts light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose.
What is photosynthesis?
This is the shape of a DNA molecule.
What is a double helix?
A change in allele frequencies in a population over time is the best way to define this area of study in biology.
What is evolution?
This concept describes the maximum number of individuals an ecosystem can support on a sustained basis.
What is a carrying capacity?
Photosynthesis occurs in this organelle.
What is a chloroplast?
This process describes the movement of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane.
What is osmosis?
Chromosomes lineup in the middle of the cell during this phase of mitosis.
What is metaphase?
Unlike mitosis where only two daughter cells are created, meiosis results in the creation of this many daughter cells.
What is 4?
This is a close symbiotic relationship in which one species benefits and the other is harmed.
What is parasitism?
The main difference between eukaryotes and prokaryotes is that eukaryotes contain this organelle.
What is a nucleus?
This type of transport describes the movement of particles from an area of HIGH concentration to an area of LOW concentration.
What is passive transport?
In a DNA molecule, the nitrogenous base CYTOSINE always connects to this other nitrogenous base.
What is guanine (G)?
This term means that a cell has two sets of chromosomes.
What is diploid?
Soil is already present in this type of ecological succession.
What is secondary succession?
This is the primary function of a ribosome.
What is to make proteins?
The chemical formula for glucose is correctly written like this.
What is C6H12O6?
This process involves a DNA molecule being copied into an mRNA molecule that can later be used to create an amino acid.
What is transcription?
This term describes a person that does not express a phenotypical trait, but still has the recessive trait in their genotype.
What is a carrier?
Hurricanes, droughts, tornadoes, and volcanic eruptions are all examples of this type of limiting factor.
What are density-independent limiting factors?
The rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER) has a "rough" appearance due to these organelles being attached to it.
What are ribosomes?
This term describes when a solute concentration is HIGHER than the solute concentration on the other side of a semipermeable membrane.
What is hypertonic?
What is apoptosis?
This term describes body structures in two different animals that share a common ancestry and structure, but do not perform the same functions.
What are homologous structures?
This term would be used to describe an organism that eats another organism that is strictly an herbivore.
What is a secondary consumer?
