True or False: One of the characteristics of living things is movement.
What is false?
100
This organelle carries out the process of photosynthesis.
What is the chloroplast?
100
This molecule is the main energy currency of the cell.
What is ATP?
100
These are organisms that make their own food using sunlight or chemical energy.
What are producers?
100
This is the approximate carrying capacity of Species 5.
What is 2000?
200
These are the four spheres of Earth.
What are atmosphere, biosphere, geosphere, and hydrosphere (in any order).
200
Plants use CO2 and H2O to make this.
What is glucose?
200
Cellular respiration occurs in this organelle.
What is the mitochondria?
200
On average, about this percent of energy is is available for the next trophic level.
What is 10%?
200
This is competition among individuals of the same species.
What is intraspecies competition?
300
These are the monomers of monosaccharides.
What are carbohydrates?
300
This green pigment absorbs light energy for photosynthesis.
What is chlorophyll?
300
Cells use this type of respiration when oxygen is available.
What is aerobic respiration?
300
This is the natural interconnection of food chains and a graphical representation (usually an image) of what-eats-what in an ecological community
What is a food web?
300
When a population grows without limits, it shows this type of growth curve.
What is exponential growth?
400
These were one of the products made in the Miller-Urey experiment.
What are amino acids?
400
These openings allow carbon dioxide to enter and oxygen to exit the leaf.
What are stomata?
400
These are the three main products of cellular respiration.
What are ATP, carbon dioxide, and water?
400
This is all the biotic things in a particular area and the abiotic parts of the area.
What is an ecosystem?
400
These factors, like disease, predation, and food availability, limit population growth.
What are limiting factors?
500
In cell membranes, phosphate heads are hydrophillic, meaning they're water-loving. Fatty acid tails are hydrophobic, meaning they're water fearing.
What macromolecule can the description above be attached to?
What are lipids?
500
Chlorophyll absorbs light most efficiently at these wavelengths, which is why plants appear green.
What are red and blue wavelengths?
500
This process in cells ensures that temperature, pH, and water balance stay within safe limits, using energy from cellular respiration.
What is homeostasis?
500
In the trophic pyramid shown here, calculate the percent of energy available to the primary consumers in this system. 
What is 15.68%?
500
Ecologists at UConn are attempting to calculate the population density of fishers in East Hartford in order to compare this to other towns in Glastonbury. They estimate the population size to be 68 individuals. The total area of Glastonbury is 54.6 mi². Calculate the population density. Round to the nearest hundredth, if applicable.
What is 1.24 mi²?
