Ecology
These organisms eat plants and animals as food.
What are omnivores?
The scientific name for "Producers"
What are autotrophs
This is a type of cell classification given to organisms that lack a nucleus and have no membrane-bound organelles.
What is prokaryote?
"In air"
What is aerobic?
The pH scale indicates the concentration of this
What are H+ ions?
This is a type of symbiotic relationship where both organisms benefit from each other.
What is mutualism?
The principle pigment in plants. This is responsible for absorbing light in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis
What is chlorophyll?
The main function of this cell structure is to provide support and protection for plant cells
What is the cell wall?
Glycolysis breaks down sugars such as glucose into this 3-carbon molecule.
What is pyruvic acid?
The attraction between molecules of the same substance.
What is adhesion?
The day-to-day condition of Earth's atmosphere at a particular time and place
What is weather?
The process of photosynthesis in which ATP and NADPH are used to turn CO2 into sugars such as glucose
What is the Calvin cycle?
These organelles produce energy through a process called cellular respiration.
What are mitochondria?
The anaerobic pathway of cellular respiration.
What is fermentation?
The type of chemical bond formed when one or more electrons are transferred from one atom to another (resulting in atoms with corresponding positive and negative charges).
What is an ionic bond?
Each step in a food chain or food web.
What is a trophic level?
The light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis take place in the membrane of this part of the chloroplast
What is the thylakoid?
This is the movement of water from an area of higher water concentration to an area of lower water concentration through a semi-permeable membrane.
What is osmosis?
The electron transport chain takes place in the internal membrane of this organelle
What is a mitochondrion?
Atoms of the same element that differ in the number of neutrons they contain
What are isotopes?
The type of ecological succession that occurs on surfaces where no soil exists, such as new volcanic islands or bare rock exposed by receding glaciers.
What is primary succession?
ATP stands for this.
What is adenosine triphosphate?
The process by which a cell divides into two new daughter cells
What is cell division?
The process in cellular respiration in which pyruvic acid is broken down into carbon dioxide in a series of energy extracting steps
What is the Krebs cycle?
The macromolecule that is made from amino acid monomers
What is a protein?
