& All Correct Answers (Graded A+)
Military contributions to the Spread of Invasive Species - ANSWER - 1. Unregulated
movement of military personnel
2.Military transport equipment/supplies
3.Foreign food aid
4.Refugee migrations
5. Transportation of reconstruction supplies
Greenhouse Effect - ANSWER - Some sunlight that hits the earth is reflected. Some
becomes heat. Gases in the atmosphere trap heat, keeping the earth warm
Greenhouse Gasses - ANSWER - 1. Water
2. CO2
3. Methane
4. Nitrogen Oxide
5. Ozone
6. Chlorofluorocarbons
Climate Change impacts on Ecosystems - ANSWER - 1. Life cycle events - many plants
and animals triggered by warming temps
2. Shift is Species Distribution - warming temps cause an increase in species
interactions and collapse of specific niches
3. Extinction - species that cannot adapt
DoD LOEs on Climate Change - ANSWER - 1. Climate-informed Decision Making
2.Train and equip a Climate-ready force
3. Resilient Built and Natural Infrastructure
4. Supply chain resilience and Innovation
5. Enhance adaptation and resilience through collaboration
Conservation Biology - ANSWER - seeks to understand and counter the loss of
biodiversity
Restoration Ecology - ANSWER - Uses ecological principals to develop methods of
returning degraded areas to their natural state
Ways to Bring Ecosystems Back to previous Natural State - ANSWER - 1. Detoxifying
polluted ecosystems
2. Replanting Vegetation
3. Removing man-made obstacles
Bioremediation - ANSWER - Use of living organisms to detoxify living systems
, Biodiversity Hotspots - ANSWER - Areas with large number of endangered and
threatened species and a high concentration of endemic species
Cell - ANSWER - The smallest structural and functional unit of all living organisms
Prokaryotic Cell - ANSWER - Smaller
simpler
Lack membrane-bound Organelles
found in bacteria
Eukaryotic Cells - ANSWER - Larger
More complex
Have membrane-bound organelles
Found in protists, plants, fungi, animals
Plasma Membrane - ANSWER - A phospholipid bilayer that regulates entry/exit of
molecules into the cell .
Contains receptor proteins
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum - ANSWER - Synthesizes proteins such as enzymes.
Produces muscle proteins in response to lifting weights
Mitochondria - ANSWER - Cellular respiration to create ATP (energy for cell)
Requires O2
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum - ANSWER - Synthesizes lipids that constitute the
plasma membrane
Vesicles - ANSWER - Originates from ER, transports molecules to Golgi and then
merges with plasma membrane
Nucleus - ANSWER - Stores and protects DNA
Golgi - ANSWER - modifies, sorts, and ships proteins and lipids
Lysosome - ANSWER - are vesicles that contain enzymes to break down old and
harmful structures
Ribosomes - ANSWER - builds proteins
Cytoskeleton - ANSWER - provide cell stability and act as transport pathways for
vesicles and movement
How do Molecules get In and Out of the Cell - ANSWER - Plasma Membrane
Embedded proteins within the membrane help transport molecules in and out of the cell
