Cell structure & function
What is the term for the jelly-like substance that fills the cell and holds organelles in place?
What is the cytoplasm?
What is the term for a chart used to predict the genetic outcomes of a cross between two individuals?
What is a punnett square?
What is the process by which organisms with traits better suited to their environment tend to survive and reproduce, passing those traits on to the next generation?
What is natural selection?
What is the process by which plants make their own food using sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water?
What is photosynthesis?
What is the term for the relationship between two organisms where one benefits and the other is harmed?
What is parasitism?
What is the process in which molecules move against their concentration gradient, requiring energy in the form of ATP?
What is active transport?
What is the term for the physical expression or observable traits of an organism, determined by its genotype?
What is phenotype?
What is the term for the preserved remains or traces of organisms from the past, providing evidence of evolution?
What are fossils?
What is the process by which cells break down glucose to release energy in the form of ATP?
What is cellular respiration?
What is the term for the relationship between two organisms where one benefits and the other is consumed?
What is predation?
What is the function of the ribosome in a cell?
What is protein synthesis?
What two word phrase can be used to describe the genotype AA?
What is homozygous dominant?
What is the term for a structure that no longer has a function in a modern organism but was functional in an ancestor, such as the pelvic bones in whales?
What are vestigial structures?
What is the process by which the body maintains a stable internal environment?
What is homeostasis?
What is the rule that explains how only about 10% of the energy from one trophic level is passed on to the next?
What is the 10% rule?
What is the term for the active transport process that expels large molecules out of the cell using vesicles?
What is exocytosis?
What is the term for a genetic situation in which one allele is not completely dominant over another, resulting in a blended phenotype in heterozygous individuals?
What is incomplete dominance?
What is the term for the similarity in DNA sequences, proteins, or other molecular structures between different species, which suggests they share a common evolutionary ancestor?
What is molecular homology?
What is the term for a producer in an ecosystem that creates its own food using sunlight or chemical processes?
What is an autotroph?
What is the term for the process by which carbon is transferred between the atmosphere, ocean, land, and living organisms?
What is the carbon cycle?
What is the term for a solution that has a higher solute concentration than the cell, causing water to move out of the cell?
What is hypertonic?
What is the word that describes an equal expression of both alleles?
What is codominance?
What is the term for body structures in different species that perform similar functions but do not have a common evolutionary origin, indicating adaptation to similar environments?
What are analogous structures?
What is the term for the phase of the cell cycle where the cell's chromosomes are duplicated?
What is S phase?
What is the process by which nitrogen gas from the atmosphere is converted into ammonia or ammonium by bacteria?
What is nitrogen fixation?
