Organization and Development of Living Things
Leeuwenhoek, Schwann, Schleiden, and Virchow were all scientists that contributed to this theory
What is Cell Theory
This molecule serves as the building block (monomer) of DNA.
What is a nucleotide?
These four types of organic molecules are commonly referred to as the "building blocks of life" and are essential components of all living cells.
What are carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids?
These are the factors that determine population size (hint list at least 4 of the 5).
What are births, deaths, immigration, emigration, and limiting factors?
This is the highest level of organization in the biological hierarchy.
What is the kingdom?
The main function of this plant tissue is to transport food (mainly sugars and other organic molecules) from leaves to other parts of the plant, such as roots and fruits.
What is phloem
This cellular process involves the synthesis of a protein from an mRNA template, and is critical for the expression of genetic information.
What is translation?
These are are specialized proteins that catalyze the formation and breakdown of various macromolecules in living cells
What is enzymes
This is the maximum number of individuals that a particular environment can sustainably support.
What is carrying capacity?
This is the scientific theory that explains how species change over time.
What is the theory of evolution?
These specialized pores found on the surface of plant leaves are responsible for gas exchange.
What is stomata?
While both mitosis and meiosis involve cell division, these two processes differ in several key ways.
What is PMAT for mitosis and PMAT & PMAT 2 for meiosis; 2 cells in mitosis, 4 cells in meiosis; identical DNA for mitosis, nonidentical DNA for meiosis; 46 chromosomes for mitosis, 23 chromosomes for meiosis
The interdependence of photosynthesis and cellular respiration is critical for maintaining the balance of ____ and _______ in the atmosphere.
What is Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide
These are the two main types of limiting factors that can affect population growth.
What are biotic and abiotic limiting factors?
This process occurs when organisms with traits better suited to their environment survive and reproduce more successfully than those without those traits.
What is natural selection?
This organelle is responsible for sorting and packaging proteins and lipids for transport to various parts of the cell or secretion outside of the cell.
What is the Golgi apparatus?
This type of inheritance involves the expression of a dominant allele that masks the presence of a recessive allele, and is governed by Mendel's laws of segregation and independent assortment.
What is dominant inheritance?
This unique property of water helps to moderate the temperature of the Earth's surface and is essential for life as we know it.
What is high specific heat capacity?
These are the three main types of organisms in a food web.
What are producers, consumers, and decomposers?
These are the four main components of natural selection.
What are overproduction of offspring, inherited variation, struggle to survive, and differential reproductive success?
This process involves the movement of molecules across the cell membrane against their concentration gradient, and requires the expenditure of energy by the cell.
What is active transport?
In this pattern of inheritance, a given gene may have more than two possible alleles within a population, and different combinations of these alleles can result in a wide range of phenotypic outcomes. Examples include the ABO blood group system and human eye color.
What are multiple alleles?
These are the two stages of photosynthesis.
What is the light independent and light dependent stage? (Electron Transport Chain, Calvin Cycle)
This is the term used to describe the pathway of energy transfer through trophic levels and the reduction of available energy at successive trophic levels.
What is the 10% rule?
This type of evidence for evolution compares the DNA and protein sequences of different organisms.
What is molecular biology evidence?
