Phylogeny
A diagram that shows evolutionary relationships between organisms
What is a phylogenetic tree (or phylogeny)?
The process of determining an organisms genetic makeup
What is genotyping
Zebras need to eat 35% of its body weight to maintain biomass. This is how many kg a 230 Kg Zebra needs to eat per day.
What is 8.05 Kg per day.
Allow termites to Digest cellulose from wood to obtain energy
what are gut microbes?
Two phases of cellular respiration, broadly speaking?
What are aerobic and anaerobic?
The number of inherited genes at every locus in a lion.
What is two
Mountains and Deserts that prevent interaction of lion prides
What are barriers?
What are the building blocks of Life?
What are macromolecules?
Converting micromolecules into smaller monomers that can pass into the cells from the small intestine
What is digestion?
Happens in the cytoplasm and only releases 2 ATP molecules per glucose molecule
What is anaerobic cellular Respiration or glycolysis?
An inherited trait that contains the same allele from both mother and father at a specific Loci is this.
What is homozygous
A lion cub has no shared alleles with the Dominant male
What is extra-pride relationship or a different father?
Carbon-based molecules that contain carbon and hydrogen, and often oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur.
what are organic compounds
What is a common atmospheric element that is not readily available but= needs some help to get into the food web?
What is nitrogen
Nitrogen Fixation
Think Termites as one avenue
Happens in both the cytoplasm and the mitochondria and releases 36-38 ATPs per glucose
What is Aerobic cellular respiration?
If lions from a pride have 98% shared DNA they would have
A recent common ancestor
How comparison of DNA Sequences help with the determination of group relatedness
What are closer DNA sequences = closer relationship?
The 2 macromolecules that are the primary source of energy?
What are lipids and carbohydrates?
Reservoirs in the Serengeti that hold nutrients and are not living: atmosphere, soil, ocean
what is abiotic?
Is typically called respiration but generally happens strictly using the respiratory tract
What is ventilation?
A lion cub shares at least one allele with a male lion at every STR locus tested
What evidence suggests he is his father?
Short repeated DNA sequences that are commonly used to identify individual lions
What are STRs: Short Tandem Repeats?
Molecule that is directly used for energy for cellular work
What is ATP
Reservoirs in the Serengeti that consist of living organisms: microbes, grasses (producers)
What are Biotic reservoirs?
Males require 17,500 kcal/day Females require 13,500 kcal/day Juveniles require 11,500 kcal/day The pride you are following consists of 1 male, 4 females, and 3 juveniles.This is the calorie requirement per day for pride sustainance.
What is 74, 950 kcals
