The study of life
What is biology
100
The total amount of living tissue within a trophic level
What is biomass
100
Cells are the basic unit of life, cells make up everything and new cells only come from existing cells.
What are the 3 parts of Cell Theory.
100
A cell that has 2 copies of each type of chromosome.
What is diploid?
100
The change in existing species or the appearance of new species over time.
What is evolution?
200
Cells -> Tissues -> Organs -> Organ Systems
What is the organization of living thing’s structures
200
A level that shows you the population size, energy, biomass, and if an organism is a herbivore, carnivore, etc. on an Ecological Pyramid.
What is trophic level?
200
Proteins embedded in the cell membrane that helps certain substances move into and out of the cell.
What are membrane-bound proteins?
200
A particular form of a trait, one comes from the mother, one comes from the father.
What is an allele?
200
The frequency that any one allele is seen in a population.
What is allele frequency?
300
All living things made of this.
What are cells?
300
The way an organism reacts to internal and external changes in its environment.
What is behavior?
300
The movement of particles from one area of high concentration to low concentration with no energy.
What is diffusion?
300
A sequence of 3 nucleotides that make up a unit in DNA or RNA.
What is a codon?
300
Two or more species reproduce at different times.
What is temporal isolation?
400
All living things create more individuals through
What is reproduction
400
Movement in response to stimuli.
What is taxes?
400
Adjusts the pH of a solution and prevents any change in the pH by maintaining it at a certain level.
What are buffers?
400
The inheritance pattern of a trait that is controlled by more than one gene.
What is polygenic inheritance?
400
The process by which two species evolve in response to changes in each other over time.
What is coevolution?
500
Living things maintain this by responding to stimuli.
What is homestasis
500
When a relationship benefits both organisms, they live and interact regularly together.
What is symbiosis?
500
Something that dissolves something else.
What are solutions?
500
This law states that alleles are inherited independently of each other.
What is the law of independent assortment?
500
When unrelated species that live in similar environments evolve the same adaptions in order to survive.
What is convergent evolution?
