Ecology
A BLANK makes its own food through sunlight.
What is a producer.
This macromolecule is made up of amino acids and performs a wide range of functions including catalyzing reactions.
What is a protein
This organelle is the site of cellular respiration and is known as the "powerhouse" of the cell.
What is the mitochondria?
This molecule carries genetic instructions in all living organisms.
What is DNA?
This domain includes organisms with no nucleus and cell walls made of peptidoglycan.
A BLANK breaks down dead organisms and waste, recycling nutrients back into the soil.
What is a decomposer.
Simple sugar, primary source for cells. (Formula is C6H12O6)
What is glucose.
This process, occurring in the ribosomes, uses mRNA to create a specific protein.
What is translation?
This monk is considered the father of modern genetics for his work with pea plants.
Who is Gregor Mendel?
What is Archea?
These unicellular prokaryotes often live in extreme environments.
Max number of individuals of a species that an environment can support without degradation.
What is carrying capacity.
What is ATP.
This type of transport moves molecules against their concentration gradient and requires energy.
What is active transport?
In the central dogma of molecular biology, this process converts mRNA into a protein.
What is translation?
What is the plasma membrane?
This structure regulates what enters and leaves both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
This principle states that two species competing for the same limited resource cannot coexist in the same niche.
What is the Competitive Exclusions Principle.
What is ATP synthase.
This structure, composed of a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins, regulates the movement of substances in and out of the cell.
What is the plasma membrane?
This term describes a situation where both alleles in heterozygotes are fully expressed, as in AB blood type.
What is codominance?
What is the cytoplasm?
Despite lacking membrane-bound organelles, prokaryotes can carry out complex metabolic reactions using this part of the cell.
This term describes a species that has a disproportionately large impact on its ecosystem relative to its abundance, often maintaining biodiversity.
What is a Keystone Species.
The metabolic cycle also called tricarboxylic acid, oxidized acetyl-CoA to produce NADH, FADH2, and CO2
What is the Krebs Cycle.
This series of events in eukaryotic cells involves interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis, resulting in two identical daughter cells.
What is the cell cycle?
This gee-editing technology, adapted from bacterial immune systems, allows scientists to make precise changes to DNA.
What is CRISPR-Cas9?
What is 16S rRNA?
Carl Woese proposed the three-domain system after analyzing this type of genetic sequence.
