Biosphere
The populations of all species in a habitat at a certain time
What is a community?
All living things are organized into a family tree starting with 6 kingdoms: Eubacteria, Archaebacteria, Protista, Fungi, Plants, and ___________.
What are Animals or Animalia?
The interior fluid of the chloroplast is known as the _____________.
What is the stroma?
A chemical reaction where smaller molecules are joined together to form a larger molecule in a process that releases a water molecule
What is dehydration synthesis?
Water and proteins naturally leak out of capillaries, which becomes ___________: the body fluid between the blood vessels and cells.
What is interstitial fluid?
The process in which organisms break the bonds found in chemicals like hydrogen sulfide (H2S) to release energy which is used to create food.
What is chemosynthesis?
Fast-moving, colder water, such as in a stream, contains more ___________ than stagnant, warmer water. It gets used up quickly when more decomposition is needed in an aquatic environment!
What is dissolved oxygen?
This process (which involves the diffusion of H+ ions across a membrane from high to low concentration) is part of both photosynthesis and aerobic cellular respiration.
What is chemiosmosis?
Mechanical digestion occurs in the mouth, the _________ and the duodenum (part of the small intestine).
What is the stomach?
A lack of this component of the blood can lead to reduced blood clotting (which can lead to extreme bleeding from even minor wounds!)
What are platelets/thrombocytes?
Due to heat loss, metabolism and other life processes, only about ______% of energy passes to the next trophic level in an energy pyramid.
What is 10%?
Clear morphological differences in the body parts of an organism that helps them survive (for example, a camel's thick eyebrows) are an example of a ____________.
What is a structural adaptation?
Anaerobic cellular respiration allows organisms to obtain energy from glucose, even without the presence of oxygen. One type (carried out by bacteria/animal cells) produces _________ and the other (carried out by yeast) produces _____________.
What are lactic acid and alcohol/ethanol?
The digestive system and lymphatic system are connected through the presence of _________ (tiny vessels found in the villi of the small intestine).
What are lacteals?
If you have the O+ blood type, you can receive the _________ blood type(s) during transfusions. (Remember, you can't introduce new antigens to the donor or there will be agglutination!)
What are O+ and O-?
Three processes release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere as part of the larger carbon cycle: __________ , ____________ and __________
What are combustion, decomposition and cellular respiration?
The evolution of similar features/behaviours in organisms that aren’t closely related, often as solutions to the same problems
What is convergent evolution?
There is an electron transport system/chain found in both photosynthesis and cellular respiration. The final electron receptor at the end of the ETS/ETC in photosynthesis is ______________, and in aerobic cellular respiration is ________________.
What is NADP+ in photosynthesis and O2 in aerobic cellular respiration?
This structure at the back of your throat connects the oral and nasal cavities to your digestive and respiratory systems.
What is the pharynx?
Describe the pathway of blood as it is filtered in the kidneys: Aorta → Renal Arteries → ___________→ Glomerulus → Efferent Arterioles → ___________ → Renal Veins → Vena Cava
What are the afferent arterioles and the peritubular capillaries?
Phosphorus can be found in living things (within ___________, for example) and non-living things (within _____________).
Be more specific than plants/animals for where phosphorus is found in living things!
What are (any of the following): DNA/Cell membranes/ATP/bones/shells and rocks/soil?
Currently, hybrids are not considered their own species, because they ___________________.
What is are not fertile/not able to produce viable offspring/can't reproduce?
The overall reaction for photosynthesis is 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2. The parts of this reaction involved in the light-dependent reactions are __________, and the parts involved in the light-independent reactions are __________.
What are water/oxygen in the light-dependent reactions, and carbon dioxide/glucose in the light-independent reactions?
The steps of inspiration are: Diaphragm contracts (flattens), the rib muscles contract (rib cage moves up and out), which ____________ the size of chest cavity and _______________ air pressure in the lungs, causing air to rush from the atmosphere into the lungs.
What are increases and decreases?
Describe the path of newly oxygenated blood coming from the lungs, returning to the heart, and leaving the heart to go to the rest of the body tissues. _____ → _____→ _____→ _____→ _____→ _____
What is pulmonary veins, left atrium, bicuspid/mitral valve, left ventricle, aortic valve, aorta?
