Biology terms
This is the study of living things.
What is biology?
The structural unit of most organisms?
What are cells?
Studied pea plants to determine inheritance patterns in life
Who is Gregor Mendel
These cells can either be cocci, sprilli, and baccili.
What is bacteria
This organ absorbed water in the digestive system
What is the large intestine.
Regulation of organism's internal environment to maintain conditions suitable for its survival.
What is homeostasis?
One copy is considered dominant and the other is considered recessive
What is a heterozygous allele
These cells do not contain a nucleus
What is a prokaryote
This tissue allows for the heart to contract
What is cardiac muscle tissue
The process where plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create their own food and release oxygen as a by product.
What is photosynthesis?
A disease where the control mechanisms of cells becomes altered and cells do not stop dividing.
What is cancer?
A Punnett Square is used for this.
What is determining the odds of inheriting certain traits?
These structures contain a protein coat that houses genetic material and do not have the ability to reproduce independently
What is a virus
This process allows food to move through the digestive system so that humans can eat in any direction.
What is peristalsis
This is the emission of water vapor from the leaves of plants.
What is transpiration?
What is the cell cycle
This molecule is made of nucleotides that contain a phosphate, sugar, and a base arranged as a double helix structure.
What is DNA
This condition compromises the immune system of humans by synthesizing DNA from RNA.
What is a retrovirus/HIV
What are muscle contractions
In animal cells O2 and glucose are consumed and CO2, water and ATP are produced
What is cellular respiration
In order for an organism to reproduce, the chromosome number must decrease by half.
What is haploid
This is an organism whose genetic material has been altered by introducing foreign DNA from another species.
What is a transgenic organism
A metabolic process that takes place when oxygen is not present and ethanol is made
What is alcoholic fermentation
