The diffusion of water molecules is known as...
Osmosis
When bonds are formed, what happens to energy
It is stored
Name at least 2 structures found in all cells

1%
Organisms that obtain food by breaking down the remains of dead organisms or other organic waste
Decomposers
When there is a difference in the number of molecules between two areas what is this called
Concentration gradient
What are the three stages of cellular respiration
Glycolysis, Krebs cycles, Electron transport chain
Which cellular structure produces ribosomes
Nucleolus
Location where the Calvin cycle occurs
Stroma
Bacteria working together so they can function similar to multicellular organisms
Biofilm
When there is a greater net movement into the cell, what kind of solution has been created
Hypotonic solution
What is the purpose of cellular respiration
To release energy in glucose to make ATP
What was the first type of cells to evolve
Prokaryotic cells
What are the reactants for photosynthesis
Carbon dioxide, water, light energy
How many chromosomes would you find in a human haploid cell
23 chromosomes
exchange of genetic material that results in new combinations of genes(also called recombination)
Crossing over
How much ATP is produced from all of the stages of aerobic(cellular) respiration added together
38 ATP
What is the thickest type of cytoskeleton
Microtubules
What two energy carrying molecules are produced by the light reaction stage of photosynthesis
ATP and NADPH
The process by which information in a gene is decoded to produce a product
Gene expression
What kind of molecules can easily pass through the phospholipid bilayer
Small, non-polar, hydrophobic
What is the main advantage of using aerobic respiration instead of anaerobic
Produces more energy
What allows eukaryotes to perform more functions than prokaryotes
Organelles
What stage of photosynthesis releases the oxygen that makes up our atmosphere
Light reaction
What is the most important benefit of genetic variation
Allows for organisms to be more fit for survival in their environment
