100
Sometimes referred to as the powerhouse of the cell, this is where cellular respiration takes place in eukaryotic cells.

mitochondria

100

humans have 23 pairs of these

chromosomes

100

what is the smallest unit of life that can evolve?

a)population

b)individual

c) ecosystem

population

100
this molecule is important molecule to chemical reactions important to life.  It is a polar molecule made up of hydrogen and oxygen.

water

100
the nonliving parts of an ecosystem, such as water, sunlight, oxygen 

abiotic factors

200

These molecules make up most of the cell membrane in a bilayer.

phospholipids 

200

protein synthesis starts with transcription;  what molecule is made using DNA as a template?

mRNA

200

differences in traits in a population are known as.....

variations

200

these are bonds that form between molecules of water that are not as strong as the bonds within a molecule of water.  These bonds give water some important properties like cohesion, adhesion, and low ice density.

hydrogen bonds
200

hurricanes, floods, and fire are all examples of density-________________ factors for populations

independent

300

the process that describes the movement of water in and out of cells

Osmosis

300

this enzyme helps make mRNA from DNA

RNA polymerase

300

organisms that are better at surviving and reproducing are said to have a higher ___________.

fitness

300

these biological molecules are made up mostly carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen.  

Example: C6H12O6

Carbohydrates (the example is gluocse)

300

the maximum number of individuals in a population that can be supported by an ecosystem

carrying capacity

400

These cells are smaller and do not have a nucules

prokaryotic or prokaryotes (also would accept bacteria)

400

DNA that has been altered based on changes to nucleotides is called....


Example:  ATT  base sequences changes to ATA

mutations

400

when a population is NOT evolving, it is said to be at 

equilibrium, or Hardy Weinburg equilibrium

400
these molecules make up polypeptides and are considered the building blocks of proteins

these molecules are also held together by peptide bonds

these bonds are strung together during the process of translation

amino acids

400

like a bee and a plant, relationships between two species that benefit both are called....

mutualistic or mutualism

500

These organelles have their own set of DNA and are where glucose is made in plant cells.

chloroplast

500

these sections of mRNA are removed during mRNA processing

introns

500

There are 5 conditions of Hardy-Weinburg equilibrium (name 3)

1. no migration

2 . no mutations

3. random mating

4. large population size

5. no natural selection 

500

this molecule is a byproduct of photosynthesis and a product of aerobic cellular respiration

O2  Also called oxygen gas

500

the term used to describe increase in greenhouse gases and rising temperatures caused by humans 

climate change
