provide energy, monomers are monosaccharides
What are CARBOHYDRATES?
100
The 2 main differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are that prokaryotic cells have no
What are nucleus or membrane bound organelles?
100
This characteristic of most species(that results from the mixing of alleles due to sexual reproduction) increases the likelihood that the species will survive if environment changes
What is VARIATION
100
In a monohybrid cross; what is the phenotypic ratio of offspring from two heterozygous parents?
What is 3 dominant to 1 recessive
100

The greatest amount of energy is lost at this level of a food chain

What is last. Tertiary or quartenary level consumer

200
provide structure, function and repair, monomers amino acids
What are PROTEINS
200
A cell placed into a salt solution would be expected to
What is shrivel?
200
When bacteria are exposed to antibiotics not all die. Those that survive produce resistant bacteria. The environment the bacteria were exposed to changed the organisms. This major tenant of evolutionary change is referred to as
What is NATURAL SELECTION
200
These three events during meiosis increase genetic diversity of organisms within a species
What are independent assortment of alleles, random segregation of chromosomes into gametes and crossing- over
200

The type of curve that forms when the population has reached its carrying capacity.

S-Shaped Curve, Logistic Growth

300
make up most of the cell membrane, provide stored energy
What are LIPIDS
300
Gases like oxygen and carbon dioxide cross the cell membrane and move passively through the cytoplasm in the process called
What is DIFFUSION?
300
The theory that suggests organelles like mitochondria were at one time independent prokaryotic organisms that were taken into larger prokaryotes and over time became dependent on each other
What is ENDOSYMBIOTIC THEORY
300
These occur spontaneously and can be beneficial, harmful, but in most cases have no effect at all
What are MUTATIONS?
300
If mice were removed from a food web what would be the effect on populations that the mice feed upon?
What increase in numbers?
400
Special groups of proteins, enable reactions to occur with less energy, work like a 'lock and key', usually end in -ase
What are enzymes?
400
The two organelles directly involved in the cyclic conversion of energy
What are the MITOCHONDRIA and CHLOROPLAST
400
A classification diagram that uses evolutionary relationships to group organisms
What are CLADOGRAMS
400
This has occurred when a dominant black cat mates with a recessive white cat and produces all grey kittens
What is incomplete dominance?
400
These 5 elements, necessary for organic macromolecules of life, cycle through organisms and the environment
What is Carbon, Nitrogen, and Phosphorus, Hydrogen, Oxygen
500
The monomers of both DNA and RNA contain a sugar, nitrogen base and a phosphate group
What are NUCLEOTIDES
500
A fish in fresh water must continuously 'pump' water out of its cells or they will swell and burst. This cell pumping requires cells to use energy and is referred to as
What is ACTIVE TRANSPORT
500
Biological evidence that supports the theory of evolution include homologous structures, DNA, fossils and the appearance of these structures, like pelvic bones in whales
What are VESTIGIAL structures?
500
The genetic technology that splices human genes into the plasmid DNA of a bacteria to produce proteins like insulin, growth hormone and clotting factor
What is RECOMBINANT DNA
500
The 2 word process that gradually and predictably returns the dominant climax plant community to an ecosystem following a devastating event like fire
What is SECONDARY SUCCESSION
