Organisms that are more adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and pass on the genes that aided their success. This process causes species to change and diverge over time.

What is 'natural selection?'

100

What is ATP used for?

It is the molecule used by all living things for energy

100

Cellular respiration results in the creation of NADH, FADH2, and ______

What is adenosine triphosphate (ATP)?

100

The 4 phases of cellular replication/the cell cycle are prophase, _____, _____, and _____

Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase

100

The line or chain from which energy flows from producers to consumers in an ecosystem

What is the food chain?

200

inherited characteristic that increases an organism's chance of survival

What is an 'adaptation?'

200

What other byproduct is produced by photosynthesis besides glucose (sugar)? 

Oxygen (O2)

200

Where does cellular respiration occur?

The mitochondria 

200

Process of cell division by which the number of chromosomes per cell is cut in half through the separation of homologous chromosomes in a diploid cell.

Meiosis 
200

A living creature that eats plants AND animals

What is an omnivore?

300

Ability of an individual to survive and reproduce in its specific environment

What is 'fitness?'

300

Where does photosynthesis occur in a cell?

300

The two differences between plant cells and animal cells

What are cell walls and chloroplasts?

300

Chromosomes are found in this part of the cell

A living creature that feeds on dead and rotting organic material

What is a detrivore?

400

Random errors in gene replication that lead to a change in the sequence of nucleotides; the source of all genetic diversity

Mutation

What type of cell division involves the division of the nucleus and the creation of IDENTICAL daughter cells?

Mitosis

400

What an organism looks like as a consequence of its genotype

What is an organism's phenotype?

500

remnant of a structure that may have had an important function in a species' ancestors, but has no clear function in the modern species.

What are 'vestigial structures?'

500
