Biology

Question 1

What is the definition of ECOLOGY?

Answer 1

The study of the relationships between living organisms, including humans, and their physical environment.

Question 2

Abiotic

Answer 2

Non-Living

Question 3

Biotic

Answer 3

Living

Question 4

What are the three trophic levels and how are they displayed on the pyramid?

Answer 4

BOTTOM TO TOP

Producers (100%) - Primary Consumers (10%) - Secondary Consumers (1%) - Apex Predators (.1%)

Question 5

What is the 10% rule?

Answer 5

The 10% rule is when every time the energy is transferred from one organism to another 10% of the energy is lost

Question 6

What are Producers?

Answer 6

They are able to produce their own food (energy) by using external sources like the sun for photosynthesis
Ex: Plants/grass

Question 7

What are Consumers?

Answer 7

Consumers eat the producers to gain their energy but 90% of the energy the producer had was lost when the energy was transferred to the consumer
Ex: Deer, Rabbits, Bunnies, and Snails

Question 8

What are decomposers?

Answer 8

An organism, often a bacterium, or fungus, that feeds on and breaks down dead plants or animals making organic nutrients. They can be found in all layers of the pyramid.

Question 9

What are Apex Predators?

Answer 9

They are at the top of the ecology pyramid and primarily eat secondary consumers who eat Primary consumers who eat the producers.
Ex: Shark, Lions, and Bald Eagles

Question 10

What is a Cell?

Answer 10

The smallest init that can live on its own and that makes up all living organisms and the tissues of the body.

Question 11

How are prokaryotes and eukaryotes different from each other?

Answer 11

Prokaryotes: Is NOT multicellular and the DO have a cell wall, and their cell is simple
Ex: Bacteria

Eukaryotes: SOMETIMES have a cell wall, they ARE multicellular, and they are MORE COMPLEX
Ex: Animals, Plants, and Fungi

Question 12

What is the cell cycle and how does it relate to Mitosis?

Answer 12

The cell cycle refers to the cell’s life cycle or the period of cellular growth and DNA replication. Mitosis represents the final step in the cell cycle.

Mitosis (Cell division at the end of the cell cycle) and the cell cycle is the Entire process

Question 13

What does Meiosis Produce?

Answer 13

Gamete Cells (Sex Cells)

Question 14

What is DNA made of and where is it found in the EUKARYOTIC cell?

Answer 14

It is made up of Deoxyribose sugar, nucleic acids, phosphate group, and it is found in the nucleus

Question 15

What two laws did Gregor Mendel write and what were their impacts on the idea of genetic inheritance?

Answer 15

1. Law of SEGREGATION: The alleles split and you got one letter from each parent
2. Law of DOMINANCE: The dominate allele is expressed in the phenotype

Question 16

What is a Punnet Square?

Answer 16

It is a way to show the genetic makeup of something
Ex: Hair and Eye color

Question 17

What does a pedigree display?

Answer 17

Family relationships

Question 18

What is a transcription and where does it occur in the cell?

Answer 18

Transcription is the process of transcribing DNA in mRNA and it occurs in the Nucleus

Question 19

What is translation and where does it occur in the cell?

Answer 19

it is the process of translating mRNA into amino acids and then into proteins. This occurs in the ribose which is on the cytoplasm.

Question 20

What are the most important events from the revolution timeline?

Answer 20

First eukaryote and prokaryotes, first animals, and first humans

Question 21

Who is Charles Darwin?

Answer 21

Charles Darwin is credited with the theory of evolution?

Question 22

How are organisms organized in a cladogram?

Answer 22

It shows how evolution occurs over time some aspects stayed the same but other aspects changed such as a Brown bear turning into having darker fur and becoming a black bear. It’s a visual that shows a progression of organisms hanging overtime due to the environment.

Question 23

What is the difference between Autotroph and Heterotrophs?

Answer 23

Autotrophs makes it own energy and heterotroph acquires energy

Question 24

What is the difference between producer and Decomposer?

Answer 24

A producer generates its own energy through the use of Chloroplasts

Decomposers break down dead material, which cycles nutrients

Question 25

Which of the following is and example of an autotroph?

Lion or Snail or Plant

Answer 25

Plant

Question 26

Which of the following is an example of an autotroph?

Dog or Elephant or Goat or Slugs

Answer 26

Slugs

Question 27

Which of the following are not part of a nucleotide?

Ribose or phosphate or deoxyribose or None of the above

Answer 27

Ribose

Question 28

DNA is best describe as ________.

Answer 28

Anti-parallel

Question 29

The “Backbone” of DNA contains which of the following structures?

Answer 29

Phosphate and deoxyribose

Question 30

What is the correct order for the central dogma?

Answer 30

DNA -> RNA -> Protein

Question 31

Which organelle does DNA replication occur in?

Answer 31

Nucleus

Question 31

How many strands are produced at the end of DNA replication?

Answer 31

2

Question 31

What are the three general steps of DNA replication?

Answer 31

1. Helicase
2. DNA Polymerase
3. Ligase

Question 31

What is the significance for DNA replication?

Answer 31

It eventually creates Proteins
