◍ secondary succession.
Answer: greatly disrupts but doesn't illuminate population- hurricane
◍ Plants use CO2 in the process of ______________ to make ____________
and oxyen.
Answer: photosynthesis, sugar
◍ commensulism.
Answer: one organism benefits while the other is neither harmed nor helped
◍ C6H12O6 + O2 --> CO2 + H2O + ATP.
Answer: cellular respiration
◍ cytoskeleton.
Answer: found throughout the cytoplasm and supports the cell
◍ what limits cell size.
Answer: - when volume increases faster than surface area- surface area must
allow for adequate exchange or material
◍ list 4 things that when studied provide the evidence for evolution.
Answer: 1. the structure of plants and animals (anatomy)2. the structure of
animals before birth (embryology)3. the distribution of species on earth over
the course of history (biogeography)4. the biochemical similarities among
organisms
◍ what is exocytosis.
, Answer: molecules are moved out of the cell by vesicles that fuse with the
plasma membraneexample: hormones
◍ Too much CO2 in the atmosphere may be responsible for the
________________________ effect..
Answer: greenhouse
◍ describe the fluid mosaic model.
Answer: fluid- because individual phospholipids and protons can move side
to side within the layer, like its a lipidmosaic- because of the pattern
produced by the scattered protein molecules when the membrane is viewed
from above
◍ heterozygous.
Answer: An organism that has two different alleles for a trait
◍ does the calvin cycle need light.
Answer: no
◍ gametes.
Answer: are formed by meiosis; sex cells
◍ aerobic.
Answer: respiration that uses oxygen
◍ does simple and facilitated diffusion require energy?.
Answer: no
◍ self pollination.
Answer: occurs when the pollen from the anther is deposited on the stigma
of the same flower (no outside genes)
◍ what does meiosis produce.
Answer: 4 genetically different cells
◍ chloroplast.
Answer: Site of photosynthesis; contains chlorophyll
◍ in plant cells, this forms during cytokinesis.
