The two components that make up a binomial nomenclature name. Felius cactus, for example.
What is genus and species?
The ratio between the size of an image produced by a microscope and its actual size.
What is magnification?
The production of ATP through anaerobic respiration.
What is fermentation?
Name of the fluid filled region between the thylakoid membrane and inner membrane.
What is the stroma?
The shape of DNA is called this.
What is a double helix?
A level of organization that involves living organisms and their physical environment. A beaver building a dam, for example.
What is an ecosystem?
In the sodium/potassium pump, ____ goes outside of the cell while ____ goes inside of the cell.
What is sodium, potassium?
The first law of thermodynamics.
What is “energy cannot be created or destroyed”?
What chloroplasts are thought to have derived from.
What is cyanobacteria?
The model in which after DNA is replicated: newly synthesized DNA should contain one parental strand and a complementary daughter strand.
What is semi-conservative replication?
This is the concentration of H⁺ ions in a solution with a pOH of 4.
What is 1.0 x 10^-10M?
Characteristics (3) of what makes a phospholipid more fluid.
What are short tails, double bonds, and high temperature?
The change of free energy (ΔG) of an ATP molecule.
What is ΔG = -7.3 kcal/mol?
Product of PSII and PSI, respectively.
What is ATP and NADPH?
The two nucleic acids are different between DNA and RNA.

A product of the Calvin cycle that can be used to make glucose and fructose.
What is G3P?
The three components that make up a nucleotide.
What is a base, sugar, and phosphate?
Two applied principles of biology. Thickly layered feathers help ducks maintain their body heat so they don’t get hypothermia, for example.
What is maintaining homeostasis and structures having function in living organisms?
The three components of cell theory.
All living things are uni or multicellular, cells are the smallest unit of living organisms, new cells emerge only from pre-existing cells via cell division
