Biology Ideas
The two types of membrane transport (one needs energy, one doesn't)
Active and Passive
This organism is killed by antibiotics prescribed by a doctor.
Bacteria
The site of cellular respiration (ATP production)
Mitochondria
The process where green plants and some other bacteria use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water.
Photosynthesis
Structure in plant cells that is absent in animal cells.
Cell Wall
Usable Cellular Energy
ATP
A type of cellular respiration that DOES NOT require oxygen.
Anaerobic
This is the name given to the frontal, parietal, occipital, and temporal lobe (all together)
Cerebrum
An organelle where photosynthesis takes place.
Chloroplast
The skeletal system of a shark.
What is cartilage?
Organisms that have the most energy on a food pyramid.
Producers, plants, autotrophs
This is the part of the flower that produces male gametes (pollen).
Anther
These simple molecules form the basis of all proteins
Amino Acids
The fossil record, molecular biology, comparative anatomy and embryology show that all life on earth originated from a...
common ancestor
The concept involving organisms that are the best suited to their environment will be the most successful and live long enough to repopulate
What is natural selection?/ Fitness
A green organelle responsible for the absorption of light to provide energy for photosynthesis.
Type of Cellular Respiration that REQUIRES oxygen to release energy.
Aerobic
If the producers contain 10,000 Kcal, then how much energy will the secondary consumers contain?
What is 100 Kcal?
The molecule created by plants. It provides quick-burning energy.
Glucose
These are the three parts of a nucleotide
Phosphate, Sugar, (nitrogen) Base
The process by which water moves through the cell membrane to balance out a high concentration of solutes.
What is osmosis?
Movement of ions and other molecular substances across cell membranes without need of energy.
Passive transport
This structure regulates the passage of molecules in and out of the cytoplasm.
Plasma membrane/cell membrane
Organisms with helpful adaptations will often survive and reproduce. This can lead to the evolution of the species over time. What term summaries this idea?
Natural Selection
Which characteristic do all organisms in Kingdoms Animalia, Protista, and Fungi have in common?
What is they are eukaryotic.
