Ecology
An organism that makes their own food.
What is a producer/autotroph?
This is the original cause of evolution.
What is a mutation?
This type of macronutrient includes enzymes, hormones, and antibodies.
What is a protein?
This disease develops from a lack of exercise and poor food choices and leads to a high BMI.
What is obesity?
What is a vaccine?
This relationship is when both organisms benefit.
What is mutualism?
The formation of a new species.
What is speciation?
This macronutrient delivers chemical messages.
What is a hormone?
This disease is when the body can not make enough or does not recognize insulin.
What is Type II Diabetes?
This medication is used to treat bacterial infections.
What is an antibiotic?
This relationship is when one organism benefits and the other is not impacted.
What is commensalism?
The exchange of one thing for another, usually one is positive and the other is negative.
What is a trade-off?
This body system is important for the digestion of nutrients.
What is the digestive system?
This hormone is released when there is high levels of glucose in the blood.
What is insulin?
This protein is made by the immune system and identifies and kills pathogens.
What is an antibody?
This species is not native to an area and can cause a disruption in the ecosystem.
What is an invasive species?
This term was coined by Charles Darwin to describe which species survived over time.
What is "Survival of the Fittest"?
This macronutrient is important for energy storage.
What are lipids?
This hormone is released when there is low levels of glucose in the blood.
What is glucagon?
This protein is found on the surface of pathogens.
What is an antigen?
This happens after a natural disaster removed most living things from an area.
What is ecological succession?
This process helps to increase the presence of a trait in a species.
What is reproduction?
This molecule digests and synthesize macronutrients.
What is an enzyme?
This process regulates internal cycles in the body.
What is feedback mechanism?
This body system works with the immune system to fight of infections by allowing for transportation of materials.
What is the circulatory system?
