Respiration and Photosynthesis
This is the primary energy source for photosynthesis as well as all food webs.
What is the sun?
The process by which DNA makes a copy of itself.
What is replication?
Darwin believed this was the main driving force of evolution.
What is natural selection?
The monomer (building block) of all polypeptide chains (what become proteins).
What are amino acids?
Mr. Welge's response when you ask to go to the bathroom not during a break.
What is ask again in 10 minutes?
The molecule which is a cell's "currency" when it needs to use energy.
What is ATP?
The correct pairing of nitrogen bases when DNA is bound.
What is A––T and C––G?
The two types of evolution or the two scales at which evolution can operate.
What are microevolution and macroevolution?
The central dogma of genetics.
What is DNA makes RNA and RNA makes proteins?
The response when Mr. Welge claps twice.
What is clapping twice in return?
These are the two organelles associated with cellular respiration and photosynthesis.
What are mitochondria and chloroplasts?
The three parts of a DNA nucleotide.
What are sugar (deoxyribose), phosphate, and nitrogen base (A, T, C, G)?
This principle of natural selection is a feature that allows an organism to better survive in its environment.
What is an adaptation?
The mRNA codon if the DNA sequence is TAC.
What is AUG?
This is likely what has happened if Mr. Welge has stooped down to pick something up.
What is dropped his clicker?
Present in all cells, this is the "organelle" where photosynthesis light independent reactions (Calvin Cycle) and cellular respiration's glycolysis happen.
What is the cytoplasm?
The correct, full name of what DNA stands for.
What is deoxyribonucleic acid?
This is the type of evolution where a number of different species arise from one common ancestor.
What is divergent evolution?
The three types of RNA.
What are mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA?
This word has many different lengths and tones depending on the kind of response Mr. Welge is seeking to give.
What is yeah?
The formula for cellular respiration or photosynthesis.
What is either:
6 CO2 + 12 H2O → C6H12O6 + 6 O2 + 6 H2O
C6H12O6 + 6 O2 + 6 H2O → 6 CO2 + 12 H2O
The role of DNA ligase in DNA replication.
What is binding together replicated fragments of DNA so the strand is continuous?
These are similar structures that suggest evidence of common ancestry.
What are homologous structures?
The name of the three RNA nucleotides on tRNA (which help place it correct place the amino acid in the polypeptide at the ribosome).
What is an anticodon?
According to students, and his fiancée, Mr. Welge says this word with a "z" sound instead of its normal "s" sound.
What is conversation?
