Biological Diversity 1
Organisms that can reproduce with one another to produce viable offspring are called this.
What are species?
This type of reproduction produces offspring identical to the parents.
What is asexual reproduction?
This type of property describes how substances react with other substances.
What is chemical property?
The impact of increased surface area on reaction rate.
What is increases reaction rate?
These substances have a pH below 7.
What are acids?
An example of this type of adaptation is wings on birds.
What are physical adapatations?
This type of asexual reproduction occurs when a cells grow from a part of the parent's body and eventually detatches.
What is budding?
This class of substance includes substances such as water, sugar, and iron.
What are pure substances.
This group of elements are highly reactive and easily react with air and water.
What are alkali metals?
The concentration at which half the test population dies.
What is the LD50 concentration?
What are variations within species?
This type of trait is always expressed as long as one copy of the gene is present.
What is a dominant trait?
This type of compound is made up of a metal and a non-metal.
What are ionic compounds?
The number of protons in nitrogen.
What is 7?
The product of acid-base neutralization reactions.
What is a salt and water?
An example of this type of symbiotic relationship would be cattle egrets—birds that eat insects stirred up by cattle while they are grazing.
What is commensalism?
This type of selection occurs when humans choose organisms with desired traits to reproduce.
What is artificial selection?
The chemical name for MgCl2.
What is magnesium chloride?
The number of neutrons in Argon.
What is 22?
This class of macronutrients provides energy the body needs for metabolism.
What are carbohydrates?
This type of cell division produces daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
What is meiosis?
In the following example, this is the ecosystem with a greater biological diversity.
Ecosystem A: 10 species, 20 000 organisms
Ecosystem B: 25 species, 5 000 organisms
What is Ecosystem B?
The chemical formula for boron trifluoride.
What is BF3?
The chemical formula for magnesium nitride.
What is Mg3N2?
The process in which substances increase in the body of organisms over time.
What is bioaccumulation?
