Due to its ability to dissolve a variety of substances, water is often called this
What is universal solvent
This theory states the following:
all living things are composed of one or more cells.
the cell is the most basic unit of life.
all cells come from other cells.
What is Cell Theory?
Cyanobacteria are important to the evolution and advancements of other life on Earth because they
produced oxygen from photosynthesis.
The name for the process by which genetic information is passed from parent to offspring.
What is inheritance?
The term for a group of organisms of the same species that live in the same area.
What is a population?
This is what allows water to have the unique properties that is does
What is polar covalent bonds?
This is an part of the cell that can distinguish plant cells from animal cells.
What is (cell wall, large central vacuole, chloroplast)?
In a dense forest, some trees are very tall. The type of plant MOST LIKELY to survive underneath these trees is one that
needs little sunlight.
The name of the specialized cell division process that results in the formation of haploid gametes.
What is meiosis?
The name for the process by which plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.
What is photosynthesis?
There is a relationship between photosynthesis and aerobic cellular respiration. Write balanced chemical equations showing the relationship between the two processes.
What is
6H20 + 6CO2 + sunlight ⇒ 6O2 + C6H12O6
6O2 + C6H12O6 ⇒ 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP
This plant tissue transports water
What is xylem?
The four main components for natural selection
What is Heritability, Variation, Overproduction, Competition, Survival of the Fittest (only 4 are needed)
The name for the specific term that refers to the different forms of a gene
What is an allele?
The name for the relationship between two species in which both species benefit?
What is mutualism?
Pepsin, a common enzyme found in the stomach, is most active at pH values between 0.5 and 2.5. It works slowly between pH values of 2.6 and 3.4. Beyond a pH of about 3.5, it becomes completely inactive. Why does this happen?
What is The protein chain in the enzyme is denatured, inactivating it as the pH increases past 3.5.
This organelle can be found in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells
What is ribosomes
The evidences of evolution (list 5 of the 6).
What is Fossil record, comparative anatomy, comparative embryology, biogeography, molecular biology, observed evolutionary change. (list 5)
The name for the process by which the genetic information encoded in DNA is transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA)?
What is transcription?
The term for the diversity of life and the interactions between different species in an ecosystem.
What is biodiversity?
__________ fats or lipids form animal body fat that is used for stored energy and insulation.
What is Saturated
The process that allows substances like oxygen pass through the cell without the use of energy and move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
What is passive transport
What can best be inferred about the hind leg bones seen in whales?
Ex answer: The hind leg bones of the whales are vestigial structures that had a function in an extinct ancestor.
The name for inheritance patterns of traits that are controlled by multiple genes.
What is polygenic traits?
The name for the ecological pyramid that shows the relative number of organisms at each trophic level in an ecosystem
What is a biomass pyramid?
