What macromolecule is responsible for building, regulating, and maintaining your body?
Protein

What is the function of the golgi body?
Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins to be shipped out in vesicles (looks like a WiFi signal)
200
How does ATP become ADP?
break off the 3rd phosphate group

The process by which water moves through the cell membrane to balance out a high concentration of solutes.
osmosis
300
How much energy is passed on from one trophic level to the next?
10%
300
movement of ions, and molecules across cell membranes without the need for energy input
passive transport (diffusion, facilitated diffusion, osmosis)

What tool would be used to help scientists predict genetic conditions or ideal traits?
Punnett Squares
300
What carbohydrate is responsible for cell rigidity and structural support in plant cells?
cellulose
300
Are viruses living or nonliving? WHY?
Nonliving; they cannot reproduce on their own...needs a host. (Does have DNA & evolve over time)

The legs of crocodiles and cats have similar bone structures and develop in a similar way which indicates a common ancestor. What are these considered?
homologous structures

Function?
"Garbage man", breaks down waste using digestive enzymes.

What is the Cellular Respiration equation?
C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + 36/38 ATP

Name & describe the 3 solutions.
1. Isotonic: Water moves equally in & out
2. Hypertonic; solute sucks water out, cell shrinks
3. Hypotonic; solute sucks water in, cell swells
