Energy comes from the _______ and moves through producers as chemical energy that moves through a food chain of consumers.
sun
The carbon cycle supports all life on earth. During cellular respiration organisms release _____ that is then used by plants to create sugar.
CO2
What is the difference between RNA and DNA?
The nucleotide sequence for RNA includes a U instead of a T
DNA replication happens in the ____ _____ of the cell cycle.
S phase
Plants go through the process of photosynthesis to create sugars needed to perform cellular processes. This process cannot start without receiving what?
Energy from the sun
Deadzones are considered to be bodies of water with dissolved oxygen levels that are less than 2mg/L. Decomposers performing _____ ______ can be a contributing factor to the lack of dissolved oxygen available in deadzones.
cellular respiration
Before RNA enters into the cytoplasm to be translated into amino acids in the ribosome first RNA has to be transcribed into DNA in the ________.
nucleus
Alleles are considered to be different versions of the same __________.
gene
Photosynthesis is a process that is important for understanding the flow of energy from producers to consumers. What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?
Sunlight + CO2 + H2O >> O2 + C6H12O6
energy (ATP)
RNA is transcribed from the DNA in order to undergo translation in the ribosome.
What is the complementary RNA sequence for the DNA below.
AGCTTTGCCAT
UCGAAACGGUA
During Prophase I of meiosis chromosomes go through the process of ________ ________ to create different combinations of alleles.
crossing over
Without photosynthesis consumers would not be able to receive the energy needed to perform daily. In photosynthesis plants use the CO2 they intake and convert it into what?
Sugars
Cellular respiration is the process in which chemical energy from photosynthesis is transformed into ATP that is used to power cellular processes. What is the chemical equation for cellular respiration?
C6H12O6 + O2 >> Energy + CO2 + H2O
Transcription is the process in which...
DNA is transcribed into RNA
UV radiation can potentially be harmful to DNA. When too much UV hits DNA it turns the nitrogenous base _____ into _____.
C into T
Photoautotrophs are the primary organisms that perform photosynthesis. Unlike heterotrophic organisms photoautotrophs are considered to be producers or in simpler terms _________,
plants
Why is cellular respiration needed for the human body?
To produce the energy required to carry out essential life processes.
Genes provide the instructions for making proteins that determine an organism’s characteristics. In order to be expressed genes must go through the process of protein synthesis. Describe the process of protein synthesis in order from transcription to translation.
DNA is transcribed into RNA. RNA goes from the nucleus to the ribosome. In the ribosome RNA is translated into proteins.
B is a dominant trait for blue eyes, b is a recessive trait for green eyes. What is the phenotype of someone who received the dominant eye color trait from mom but the recessive trait from dad.
Blue eyes
