Random Biology
The concept that organisms who are the best suited to their environment will be the most successful
Natural selection
These simple molecules form the basis of all proteins
Amino acids
Which organisms have the most available energy in a food pyramid?
Producers
A biomolecule that serves as a fast source of energy?
What are carbohydrates?
The grouping of cells that contain DNA, cytoplasm, ribosomes, and a cell membrane, but no other membrane-bound organelles.
Prokaryote (or prokaryotic cell)
movement of ions, and molecules across cell membranes without the need for energy input
What is passive transport?
The three organelles found in a plant cell but not an animal cell
What are cell wall, large central vacuole, and chloroplast?
This is the process by which organisms break down glucose, without the use of oxygen, to create ATP
What is anaerobic cellular respiration?
This RNA is transcribed from a section of DNA and later leaves the nucleus in order to be translated into an amino acid chain.
mRNA
This process produces four genetically unique cells, each with half the number of chromosomes as in the parent
meiosis
Water molecules have attractive forces to one another and are held together by these types of weaker bonds
What are hydrogen bonds?
Unstable species containing oxygen
The process by which water moves through the cell membrane to balance out a high concentration of solutes.
Osmosis
The formula for photosynthesis
CO2 + H2O —> C6H12O6 + O2
What is a keystone species?
How do ROS cause cell damage? (one of them)
Alter strands, protein misfold.. etc
Activation energy
The legs of crocodiles and cats have similar bone structures and develop in a similar way which indicates a common ancestor. What type of structures are the leg bones?
What are homologous structures?
These are the products of cellular respiration
Water, carbon dioxide, and ATP
Example of an antioxidant?
Vitamin C, E, Selenium etc..
