Themes of Biology
Essential for the survival of a certain species, has two types.
What is reproduction?
Something that is not considered acidic or basic.
What is neutral?
Dynamic equilibrium; equal movement
A place in plant cells in which photosynthesis occurs.
What is chloroplast?
Method of altering a gene to add change or delete a trait.
What is genetic engineering?
The passing of traits from one generation to the next through reproduction.
What is heredity?
1. Substance that dissolves(in stuff like water)
2. Substance that does not dissolve(in stuff like water)
1. What is polar?
2. What is nonpolar?
Water will diffuse INTO the cell to reach equilibrium, causing the cell to swell; in plant cells, turgor pressure increases; red blood cells swell = hemolysis
What is hypotonic?
Takes place in the grana of the chloroplast; Light is absorbed and converted to ATP, and water is split, releasing oxygen.
What are light-dependent reactions?
Method of identifying sections of DNA using gel. The results, shown as bands, are used to compare the DNA of individuals – looking for similarities.
What is electrophoresis?
Maintenance or regulation of body conditions.
What is homeostasis?
Any hydrogen-containing substance that is capable of donating a proton (hydrogen ion) to another substance; pH below 7.
What is an acid?
Water will diffuse OUT of the cell to reach equilibrium, causing the cell to shrink; in plant cells, it's called plasmolysis; red blood cells shrink = crenation
What is hypertonic?
Takes place in the stroma; the H+ from the split water and CO2 form 3 carbon sugars which in turn can form glucose, starch, or cellulose.
What are light-independent reactions?
Technology that utilizes biological systems, living organisms or parts of this to develop or create different products.
What is biotechnology?
Energy is required for life processes.
What is metabolism?
A molecule or ion able to accept a hydrogen ion from an acid; pH above 7.
What is a base?
Large particles surrounded and engulfed.
What is endocytosis?
The kind of process photosynthesis is.
What is endergonic process?
The _________ shows how the blood stain pattern more closely matches a specific individual's pattern, so the blood stain is most likely the specific individual's.
What is DNA fingerprint?
Responding to the biotic and abiotic factors in the environment is key to survival.
What is response to stimuli?
Equally strong acid (pH = 2.0) combines with an equally strong acid (pH = 12.0) to produce water and salt (pH = 7.0).
What is neutralization reaction?
Large waste is expelled through the membrane
What is exocytosis?
1. Formula for Respiration.
2. Formula for Photosynthesis.
1. What is Respiration: C6H12O6 + O2 → CO2 + H2O + ATP?
2. What is Photosynthesis: CO2 + H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + O2?
Cloning, designer babies, gene therapy, GMOs, etc.
What are methods of genetic engineering?
