Energy Use
Animals will sometimes work together to hunt in order to use less what?
Energy
What is the base of the energy pyramid? (Hint: they are all plants)
Producers
Our DNA is composed of 46 chromosomes. Who do we get half our chromosomes from?
One parent (1/2 from mom, 1/2 from dad)
What cellular process has oxygen and glucose as it's biproducts? (hint a biproduct is released at the end of the cellular process)
Photosynthesis
When animals are hunting they must eat enough food to have the energy for basic functions and to do what the next day?
Hunt more food
Herbivores are classified as what in the energy pyramid?
Primary Consumers
DNA fragments can be sorted by size using what technique?
Gel Electrophoresis
What cellular process has CO2 and water as it's biproducts? (hint: a bi-product is released at the end of the cellular process)
Cellular Respiration
If a lion needs 15,000 kcal of energy each day, would killing a boar worth 10,000 kcal and an antelope worth 5,000 kcal be enough energy for her to survive?
No, she would not have enough energy to hunt the next day and would end up dying.
Populations in an ecosystem are controlled by what? (hint: examples would be food supply, habitat space, natural disasters)
Limiting Factors
DNA is what type of macromolecule?
Nucleic Acids (DNA stands for Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid)
Photosynthesis can only be performed by organisms that contain what organelle?
Chloroplasts
Fats provide our bodies with long term energy. What type of macromolecule are fats like vegetable oil?
Lipids
Lions tend to move around with their families, but male lions will move to new prides or create their own when they are older. What could we use to determine which pride a lion is originally from?
DNA / Gel Electrophoresis / Microsatellites
DNA is a blueprint which helps our body build/create amino acids. Which macromolecule do amino acids build?
Proteins
Glucose is produced in photosynthesis and used in cellular respiration to make chemical energy. What type of macromolecule is glucose?
Carbohydrate
