What is ATP?

Energy carrying molecule

(adenosine tri phosphate)

100

What are the stages of the cell cycle in correct order.

G1, S, G2, M, & Cytokinesis

100

The type of cells produced by meiosis.

gametes (sperm and egg cells)

100

When two unrelated organisms evolve similar characteristics because they evolved in the same environment.

What is Convergent Evolution

100

What do the arrows in food webs and food chains mean and what direction do they go in?

The arrows show the transfer of energy and they only go in one direction and that is toward the consumer.

200

Where is the energy stored in ATP (be specific on where it is)

In between the 2nd and 3rd phosphate bond.

200

This is the part of the cell cycle that DNA is replicated.

What is the S phase?

200

The process in which chromosomes exchange segments during meiosis increases genetic variation.

Crossing over

200

When a freak accident wipes out a large part of the population and causes a major lose in genetic diversity.

What is the Bottleneck effect?

200

What type of growth is it called when a population experiences growth but hits a ceiling and starts to steady due to limited resources? 

Logistic growth.

300

How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration related?

Opposite reactions-- Products of photosynthesis are reactants of cellular respiration. Products of cellular respiration are reactants of photosynthesis.

300

What part of the cell cycle does the cell spend the majority of its life in.

What is Interphase?

300

If an organism's diploid number is 48, what is its haploid number?

24
300

Structures that are similar in anatomy but differ in functionality.

What is Homologous Structures?

300

What factor is it called when competition and disease has an impact on a population due to its size?

Density Dependent Factor

400

What carries the electrons into the ETC from Glycolysis and the Krebs Cycle?

NADH and FADH2

400

During what phase of Mitosis does the nucleus disappear and chromosomes begin to appear?

What is Prophase

400

What would happen if nondisjunction occurred during meiosis? How might it affect and organism?

Nondisjunction results in haploid cells having to many chromosomes or too few. This could lead to a genetic disorder in the organism.

400




Individuals of either extreme of an inherited phenotype have the advantage over the intermediate forms

What is Disruptive Selection

400

Barnacles live on the sides of whales, they use the constant movement to help them filter feed. But, the whales are not bothered or hurt by their presence. What type of relationship is this?

commensalism

500

Which is preferred- Fermentation or aerobic respiration and why? Please provide actual numbers to support your answer.

Aerobic respiration produces more energy with a max of 38 ATP. Meanwhile, Anaerobic is less efficient and only makes 2 ATP molecules.

500

If all cells within the body contain the same DNA and the DNA holds information for all cell types, what has to be done if muscles want to be created?

The sections of the DNA for muscles cells get turned on while the rest get turned off so that only muscles cells will be made.

500

State one advantage asexual reproduction has as well as one disadvantage it has compared to sexual reproduction.

Asexual repro. only needs one parent when sexual repro. needs two parents.

Asexual offspring are all identical and can be impacted by the environment the same. While sexual offspring have diversity to cause different outcomes from the environment.

500

According to the diagram, which organisms would have the trait of retractable claws and who would not have the trait for retractable claws?

Yes: Leopard & House cat

No: Wolf, Horse, and Tortoise

500

According to the diagram, plants are producing what molecule from photosynthesis that the deer is using. Then, what is the deer producing for itself and then giving back to the carbon cycle?

Glucose

ATP & CO2
