Photosynthesis
This pigment reflects green light and primarily absorbs red and blue wavelengths.
What is chlorophyll?
Cellular respiration begins with this anaerobic step in the cytoplasm.
What is glycolisis?
Organisms that make their own food using sunlight are known as this.
What are autotrophs/producers?
These cells support neurons, maintain chemical balance, and form myelin.
What are glial cells?
These cells engulf pathogens as a part of the innate immune system.
What are macrophages/phagocytes?
These are the stacks of thylakoids where light-dependent reactions occur.
What are grana/granum?
This molecule serves as the final electron acceptor in the ETC.
What is oxygen?
This pattern of population spacing occurs when individuals group together around recources.
This part of the brain regulates breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure.
What is the medulla (oblongata)?
Cells of this adaptive branch destroy infected cells via apoptosis.
This enzyme fixes carbon in the Calvin Cycle by converting CO2 into organic molecules.
What is rubisco?
This process produces 2 ATP, 6 NADH, and 2 FASH2 per glucose.
What is the Krebs Cycle.
The process occurs when decomposers convert organic nitrogen from dead organisms back into ammonium in the soil.
What is ammonification?
What division of the PNS handles voluntary movement.
What is the somatic nervous system?
This type of immunity "remembers" past infections using B and T cells.
what is adaptive immunity?
This part of the chloroplast is the site of the light-independent reactions.
What is the stroma?
This fermentation pathway produces ethanol, CO2, and regenerates NAD+.
What is alcoholic fermentation.
These factors increase in intensity as population density rises and include competition, predation, and disease.
What are density-dependent factors?
The "all-or-none" electrical signal that neurons send down their axons.
What is an action potential?
This immune issue occurs when the immune system attacks the body's own cells.
What is autoimmunity?
Only 1-2% of this reaches the leaf surface and is actually used in photosynthesis.
What is light energy?
This process creates ATP by allowing protons to flow down their gradient through ATP synthase.
what is chemiosmosis?
This population growth model levels off when the population reaches carrying capacity.
What is logistic growth?
During action potential propagation, Na+ channels open first causing this major change in voltage.
What is depolarization.
This process in T and B cell development prevents self-reactive cells from maturing.
What is clonal deletion?
