What part of the nephron descends into the medulla and then rises back into the cortex:

What is the Loop of Henle

100

Name two types of interspecies interaction benefits one organism, and harms the other

predation and parasitism

200

Sodium ions use this form of transport through a cell membrane, requiring a protein pump

Active transport

200

The usefulness of fermentation as a means of deriving energy is limited because:

What is fermentation cannot generate enough ATP (it only generates 2 ATP per 1 glucose?)

200

This type of mutation would result in the change of only one amino acid in a polypeptide

Missense mutation because of a substitution

200

This branch of the nervous system controls unconscious life-sustaining activities.

Autonomic nervous system

What is an S-shaped curve model that describes limited population growth often due to limited resources or predation

What is Logistical Growth?

These are released from one neuron into the synapse in neural transmission

neurotransmitters

300

What is a way of dealing with competition by using different resources within a habitat

What is resource partitioning?

400

These functional groups are found in all amino acids

Carboxyl and amino


400

This molecule is an electron "carrier" that ultimately results in the production of 2 ATP during oxidative phosphorylation

FAHD2

(Bonus - why does it only result in the production of 2 ATP unlike NADH?)

400

Initiation or transcription begins when the ______________ binds to the __________________

Which hormone is primarily involved in altering the water permeability of the collecting duct?

ADH

(Bonus 100 - if someone is dehydrated will the collecting ducts receive more or less ADH?)
