These organisms eat plants and animals as food.
What is omnivore?
100

This is what evolution acts upon in a population. Hint: caused by mutation.

What is variation?

100
This is a type of cell classification given to organisms that lack a nucleus and have no membrane-bound organelles.
What is prokaryote?
100

This pattern of inheritance states that a cross between blood type A and blood type B will result in a phenotype of blood AB.

What is codominance?

100
This is the organelle where photosynthesis takes place
What is chloroplast?
200

This is a level in the energy pyramid with the most energy or biomass.

What is the first trophic level or primary producers?

200

This is a theory proposed by Charles Darwin that says that organisms better suited to their environments will survive and reproduce.

What is natural selection?

200

This is the equation for:

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O

What is cellular respiration

200

The process of repeated cell growth and division.

What is the cell cycle?

200

This polar molecules is made up of hydrogen and oxygen and is essential to life.

What is water?

300

In an experiment testing the effect of different vitamins on human health, which is the dependent variable?

What is human health?

300

These are structures that have lost their major function or serve no function for an organism's survival.

What is vestigial structures?

300
This organelle produces energy through a process called cellular respiration.
What is mitochondria?
300

The enzyme that matches new nucleotides and proofreads in DNA replication.

What is DNA polymerase?

300

The enzyme that breaks down carbohydrates in your mouth

What is amylase?

400

This is a type of symbiotic relationship where one organisms benefit and the other is unaffected.

What is commensalism?

400

This comes from shared ancestry and describes parts of organisms that have similar structures but different functions.

What is homologous structures?

400
This is the movement of water from an area of higher water concentration to an area of lower water concentration through a semi-permeable membrane.
What is osmosis?
400

The part of tRNA that matches with a codon and brings amino acids to the ribosome in translation.

What is an anticodon?

400

The macromolecule that makes up cell membranes.

What are lipids (or phospholipid bilayer)?

500

The pathway that moves CO2 between the ocean and atmosphere?

What is diffusion?

500

This process creates genetically different haploid gametes.

What is meiosis (or crossing over)?

500
This is the process of asexual reproduction in bacteria.
What is binary fission?
500

This is the central dogma of molecular biology

What is DNA to RNA to Protein?

500

In this type of solution, the concentration of dissolved particles is high causing a cell to shrink.

What is hypertonic solution?
