Bio 2 Final Jeopardy

Learning Objectives

100

What are the three conditions for natural selection to occur? 

Variability, heredity, and reproduction. 

200

How is the outcome of meiosis different from mitosis?

Meiosis results in 4 daughter cells that are each different, mitosis results in 2 daughter cells that are identical.

300

What are the 5 drivers of evolution? 

Nonrandom mating, genetic drift, gene flow, natural selection, and mutation.

400

What are the five derived traits of land plants? 

Apical meristems, alternation of generations, Multicellular embryo that is dependent on the parent plant, sporangia that produce walled spores, gametangia that produce gametes

500

Understand the components & functions of the cardiovascular system in humans. 

• Components: Arteries carry blood away from the heart to capillaries. Networks of capillaries called capillary beds are the sites of chemical exchange between the blood and interstitial fluid. Venules converge into veins and return blood from capillaries to the heart.

• Functions: Respiration and disease protection, nutrition (transport nutrients), excretion (transport waste products), thermoregulation, water balance, transport hormones (endocrine products).

Form & Function

100

What are epithelial tissues? 

Covers the outside of the body and lines the organs and cavities within the body, think ANYTHING THAT INTERACTS WITH THE ENVIRONMENT. 

200

What is the function of connective tissue? 

It mainly binds and supports other tissues. 

300

What are the three types of fiber tissues? 

Collagenous: Provide strength & flexibility

Reticular: Join connective to adjacent tissues

Elastic: stretch & snap 

400

What are the four main types of tissue? 

Epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous.

500

What are the six major types of connective tissues & define them. 

1. Loose connective tissue: binds epithelia to underlying tissues and holds organs in place. 

2. Fibrous connective tissue is found in tendons and ligaments. 

3. Bone: mineralized and forms the skeleton

4. Adipose: composed of blood cells and cell fragments in blood plasma. 

5. Blood: composed of blood cells and cell fragments in blood plasma. 

6. Cartilage is strong and flexible support material. 

Circulation

100

What is diffusion? Where is it effective? 

The movement of fluid from an area of high water concentration to one of low water concentration. Diffusion is only efficient over small distances.

200

What 3 things does every circulatory system have? 

1. A circulatory fluid

2. A set of interconnecting vessels

3. A muscular pump, the heart

300

Name the 6 functions of blood. 

1. 
   

   1. Respiration and disease protection

   2. Nutrition (transport nutrients)

   3. Excretion (transport waste products)

   4. Thermoregulation

   5. Water balance

   6. Transport hormones (endocrine products

400

List the order of the mammalian circulation route. 

1. Right ventricle

2. Pulmonary vein

3. Atrioventricular (tricuspid) valve

4. Left ventricle

5. Systemic circulation (head and body)

6. Semilunar valve to Pulmonary artery

7. Superior (head) and inferior (body) vena cavae

8. Left atrium

9. Atrioventricular (bicuspid) valve

10. Right atrium

11. Lungs

12. Semilunar valve to Aorta

500

What is the mammalian heart blood course?

Right atrium →  atrioventricular (tricuspid) valve →  right ventricle → semilunar valve →  pulmonary artery →  lungs →  pulmonary vein →  left atrium →  atrioventricular (bicuspid) valve →  left ventricle →  semilunar valve →  aorta →  systemic circulation →  superior and inferior vena cavae →  right atrium

Ecology

100

List some abiotic factors in ecology.

1. 
   

   1. Temperature

   2. Water

   3. Oxygen

   4. Salinity

   5. Sunlight

   6. Soil

200

List some biotic factors in ecology. 

1. 
   

   1. Predation

   2. Herbivory

   3. Competition

   4. Mutualism

   5. Parasitism

300

List some elements of a niche (what are they competing for?)

1. Space utilization

2. Food consumption

3. Temperature range

4. Appropriate conditions for mating

5. Requirements for moisture and more

400

List 3 interspecific interactions and define them. 

competition: Interaction where both species are harmed. 

predation: Interaction where one species is harmed and the flow of energy goes from one to another. 

herbivory: When an animal eats a plant. 

parasitism: One organism lives on the other organism and harms it. 

mutualism: An interaction where both species benefit. 

commensalism: One species benefits from the other without harming it. 

facilitation: At least one species benefits without harming the others. 

500

List the trophic levels and give an example of each. 

1. Primary producers/autotrophs, plants. 

2. Consumers/heterotrophs, Crab

LEVELS OF CONSUMERS

Herbivores: first consumer level, crab. 

Primary carnivores/eat herbivores, squid

Detrivores/Eat decaying matter or all trophic levels: killer whale 

Decomposers/microbes that break up dead matter: mushroom/bacteria

Random

100

What was the importance of the amniotic egg? 

No need for water to reproduce. 

200

What distinguishes arteries and veins? 

Arteries and veins are distinguished by the direction of blood flow.

300

What is the difference between a population and a community? 

A population is a group of individuals of a single species living in the same general area. A community is an interacting group of various species in a common location

400

What are some basic challenges all organisms face?

Find and digest food, find a mate and reproduce, maintain the internal environment, circulate nutrient and remove waste products. 

500

What are the levels of organization? 

atom, molecule, organelle, cell, tissue, organ, organism, organ system, species, population, community, ecosystem, biosphere.
