Macromolecules
Proteins, carbohydrates, fats, and nucleic acids all contain these three common elements.
What is STARCH/POLYSACCHARIDE?
This type of cell has free-floating DNA, ribosomes, and cytoplasm but no membrane-bound organelles.
What is PROKARYOTIC?
An outside or environmental influence responsible for shifting the traits present in a population.
What is a SELECTIVE PRESSURE?
This process is part of the nitrogen cycle; bacteria are able to do it to convert nitrogen gas into solid forms of nitrogen, which can be taken in by plants.
What is (NITROGEN) FIXATION?
These macromolecules are responsible for long term energy storage and insulation.
What are LIPIDS?
Bromothymol Blue turns yellow in the presence of this molecule and was used to determine whether water samples were acidic or not.
What is CARBON DIOXIDE?
This organelle is responsible for transporting and modifying proteins as they are made.
What is the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM?
An outside influence responsible for keeping populations at or around their carrying capacity, such as water clarity or oxygen levels.
What is an ABIOTIC LIMITING FACTOR?
Increased carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere leads to ____ pH in the ocean.
What is DECREASED?
The monomer of these macromolecules are amino acids.
What are PROTEINS?
This part of a light microscope changes the amount of light that passes through the sample.
What is the DIAPHRAGM?
These cells have cell walls and a large permanent vacuole.
What are PLANT CELLS?
This is the amount of organisms/population size that an ecosystem can support.
What is the CARRYING CAPACITY?
A solution with a pH of 7 is considered this.
What is NEUTRAL?
These are made of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base and make up DNA and RNA.
What are NUCLEIC ACIDS?
In the sea urchin variation lab, "otters" hunted urchins based on color, so the population became lighter over time. Populations changing over time based on organism fitness is a result of this.
What is NATURAL SELECTION?
Diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis are examples of this type of transport.
What is PASSIVE?
These are the alleles an organism has for a trait, as opposed to the physical expression of that trait.
What is GENOTYPE?
Processes in this cycle include evaporation, precipitation, and transpiration.
What is the WATER CYCLE?
Macromolecules are assembled by connecting monomers together and removing a water molecule in this type of chemical reaction.
What is DEHYDRATION SYNTHESIS?
Cells placed in a hypotonic solution will do this as a result of osmosis.
What is SWELL?
This molecule is found within the phospholipid bilayer and is responsible for maintaining the fluidity of the cell membrane.
What is CHOLESTEROL?
This is a measure of the acidity or basicity of a solution.
What is pH?
This is the state where Mrs. West grew up and recently moved from.
What is RHODE ISLAND?
