carbohydrates (glucose)
Both organisms benefit from this type of symbiotic relationship.
mutualism
Which organisms have the most available energy in a food pyramid?
Producers
Describe commensalism.
A relationship where one species benefits from another species and that species is not harmed or helped.
What is the basic unit of life?

What type of adaptation is it when an organisms blends into the environment to avoid predators?
Camoflauge
What type of relationship is it when organisms are fighting for resources.
Competition
What type of adaptation is it when an organisms imitates another organism to avoid predators?
Mimicry
The process by which water moves through the cell membrane to balance out a high concentration of solutes.
osmosis
How much energy is passed on from one trophic level to the next?
10%
movement of ions, and molecules across cell membranes without the need for energy input
passive transport (diffusion, facilitated diffusion, osmosis)
What type of viral reproduction uses the mnemonic : Tic-Tic-Boom
Lytic
What carbohydrate is responsible for cell rigidity and structural support in plant cells?
cellulose
Are viruses living or nonliving? WHY?
Nonliving; they cannot reproduce on their own...needs a host.

Monosaccharides (single sugars)
What does DRCC stand for?
DNA, Ribosomes, Cytoplasm, and Cell Membrane.
What is the Cellular Respiration equation?
C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + 36/38 ATP
(GO --> COW!)
What type of viral reproduction uses the mnemonic:
So is SlowChange to Genes
Lysogenic
What is the equation of photosythesis?
