What property of water allows for water to absorb large amounts of heat without changing temperature?
High specific heat
100
What are some examples of biotic factors?
- temperature
- (aquatic) pH
- population density
- Scarcity
- habitat loss
- competition level
- invasive species
100
Which lung contains three lobes?
the (anatomical) right lung
100
What are cyclins?
- a group of proteins that control the cell’s progression through the cell cycle/ replication
- bind to cyclin-dependent protein kinases enabling them to act as enzymes. These allow the cell to move from G1 to S and G2 to M at checkpoints.

What properties of water do the xylem of plants take advantage of?
cohesion AND adhesion
200
what does the word amphipathic mean?
- containing both hydrophilic and hydrophobic portions of a molecule
- creation of both polar and nonpolar properties in a molecule
200
How do detritivores make energy?
by eating small pieces of the remains of dead and decaying animals
200
What do type II pneumocytes do?
Secrete pulmonary surfactant
can replicate
200
What is oxidative phosphorylation?
- the process by which ATP is physically created
- ETC and chemiosmosis
- electrons are passed down a series of protein complexes, releasing energy that's used to pump protons across a membrane
- Chemiosmosis then uses the resulting proton gradient to drive ATP synthesis.

What is the cortex in plant anatomy?
Layer between epidermis and endodermis
Buffer layer for nutrient absorption from roots to xylem
300
what types of molecules, when consumed, cause increase in the number of high-density lipoproteins in the bloodstream?
- (trans)) unsaturated fats
300
How much energy is generally passed from one trophic level to another?
10%
300
what kind of blood vessels maintain narrow lumen and high pressure?
arteries
300
What do competitive inhibitors do?
bind to the enzymes’ active site instead of the substrate, making it unable to bind to a substrate (and therefore function)
300
What is the male reproductive organ in plants?
-stamen
400
What do HDLs do differently than LDLs?
- HDLs lower cholesterol levels in body
LDLs raise cholesterol levels in body
LDLs reduce number of HDLs in body
400
Which ecological pyramid shows the number of organisms in each trophic level of an ecosystem?
pyramid of numbers
400
What is fenestration?
pores cover capilleries to facilitate gas and nutrient exchange in the bloodstream
400
Which organelle is a part of the innate immune system and plays a large role in endocytosis?
-lysosomes

Where is the peduncle of flowers?
Stalk of flower

What element does NOT enter the atmosphere in its namesake cycle?
phosphorous
500
What occurs during the repolarization phase of a neuron's firing?
Positive to Negative change
Potassium channels open and potassium rushes out
- Sodium rushes in
500
During which structure do proteins become 3-D and structurally functional?
tertiary structure
500
What structure within the chloroplasts help with light absorption?
thykaloids
