The blue earth
What is the process that plants, algae, and some bacteria use to turn sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into sugar (food) and oxygen?
Photosynthesis
What microorganisms lack a membrane-bound nucleus?
prokaryotes
What are the three subatomic particles?
Protons, Electrons, Neutrons
This molecule carries the genetic instructions used for the growth, development, and functioning of living organisms.
DNA
How many domains are there? And what are they?
Three: Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya
What is the green pigment found in leaves?
Chlorophyll
What microorganisms have genetic material enclosed inside a protein coat and must infect a host cell to reproduce?
Classifications for substances with a pH level higher or lower than 7
Base more than 7, acidic less than 7, Protein
These alternative forms of a gene determine variations in a particular trait, such as different flower colors.
alleles
includes all eukaryotic organisms—mostly unicellular or colonial—that do not fit into the kingdoms of plants, animals, or fungi
Kingdom Protista
What is the primary function of a plant's root system?
Absorbing minerals and water from the soil, anchoring the plant
What type of microorganism is used in making bread and causes dough to rise by producing carbon dioxide during fermentation?
yeast
What are the three primary/basic macronutrients that provide energy and building blocks for the human body?
This term describes an organism with two identical alleles for a particular gene, such as BB or bb.
homozygous
All 8 levels of the biological classification hierarchy that organize living things from broadest to most specific
Domain, Kingdom (Animalia), Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species.
A plant's shoot bends toward a light source because auxin accumulates on the shaded side, causing these cells to elongate more rapidly than cells on the illuminated side.
phototropism
What type of microorganism obtains nutrients by breaking down and absorbing organic matter from its surroundings?
fungus
What are the substance classifications when the pH is above or below 7?
Base = more than 7
Acidic = less than 7
This process produces four haploid cells from one diploid parent cell and creates genetic variation through crossing over and independent assortment.
meiosis
Which of the following phyla is characterized by animals with radial or pentaradial symmetry as adults, a water vascular system, and a true coelom?
Echinodermata
In this process, guard cells change their shape to open or close stomata, regulating gas exchange and water loss.
stomatal regulation
What is the full name of BOx-SHS' Overall Head?
Adrien Shane Siggaoat Zafra
What is the full name of BOx-SHS's org moderator?
Ma'am Remy Lynn S. Magbiray
During meiosis, homologous chromosomes can exchange sections of DNA, creating new combinations of alleles. This process is called this.
crossing over
