The concept that organisms that are the best suited to their environment will be the most successful...the best traits are selected to be passed on.
What is natural selection?
Both organisms benefit from this type of symbiotic relationship.
What is mutualism?
Which organisms have the most available energy in a food pyramid?
Producers
What is the carbon cycle?
Starts with bare rock
What is primary succession?
This body system is responsible for movement & heat regulation.
What is the muscular system?
What is secondary succession (soil is already present).
Starts with bare rock
What is primary succession?
A biomolecule that serves as a fast source of energy?
What are carbohydrates?
Name of the processes illustrated.
What is mitosis (left) and meiosis (right)?
How much energy is lost from one trophic level to the next?
90%
movement of ions, and molecules across cell membranes without the need for energy input
What is passive transport?
Organic compound that can produce steroid hormones & contains the elements C,H,O.
What is a lipid?
The substrate of the enzyme amylase.
What is a starch?
If the producers contain 10,000 Kcal, then how much energy will the secondary consumers contain?
What is 100 Kcal?
The legs of crocodiles and cats have similar bone structures and develop in a similar way which indicates a common ancestor. What type of structures are the leg bones? Analogous or Homologous?
What are homologous structures?
The evolutionary mechanism that changes in allele frequencies because of separation or catastrophic event...genetic drift, geographic isolation, natural selection
What is genetic drift?
The first plants and animals to live in a newly available ecosystem.
Which type of movement across a cell's membrane requires energy supplied by ATP?
Active transport
The process & its function.
What is aerobic respiration & energy production?
The process by which water moves through the cell membrane to balance out a high concentration of solutes.
What is osmosis?
Cell type of animals, plants, fungi, & protists...they can make proteins & go through cellular respiration because of this cell type.
What is eukaryotic?
This is the structural formula for an organic compound.
What is a protein?
Describe commensalism.
A relationship where one species benefits from another species and that species is not harmed or helped.
A complex carbohydrate that is responsible for cell rigidity and structual support in plant cells.
What is cellulose?
