double nonpolar covalent bond
all organic molecules contain
hydrogen and carbon
which carbohydrate is used in animals for energy storage
glycogen
which carb in plants cell walls
cellulose
what type of bond forms from one atom gaining an electron and one losing an electron
ionic bond
what bond is found between 2 amino acids
peptide bond
term for the loss of 3d shape of a protein and thereby eliminating its function
denaturation
oragnelle found in plants functions in mainly tonicity but also stores water
central vacuole
organelle primarily responsible for breaking down fatty acids
peroxisome
organelle responsible for synthesis of lipids and detoxification of toxic substances
smooth er
which cell junction allows small molecules and ions to pass between two adjacent animal cells
gap junction
junction that creates a solid barrier to prevent molecules from moving between the cells
tight junction
major chemical that regulates the fluidity of animal cell membranes by stiffening the membrane at higher temp and preventing the membrane from freezing at lower temp
cholesterol

which of the follwoing factors limit exponential growth?
all of them —
-limited resource availability
-increase in predatord
competetion with members of pop and other species
which variable is not a desnity depenedent factor?
d is the answer a-compettition b-hawk preying on mice c-smallpox outbreaks d-an early cold spell that causes the plants to die off earlier than normal
which of the following is correct on predator-prey cycle
correct-a decline in the number of prey causes a decline in the number of predators
not correct-a dceline in the number of predators causes a dceline in prey
-an increase in the number of predators triggers an increase in the number of prey
what is the correct order primary succession
-soil formation pioneer species enter region, shrubs grow, small tress grow
