Most bacteria are ____ - cellular organisms

A

SINGLE

24
Q

Shared Characteristics b/t Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cells

A
  • membrane (regulates passage b/t cell and surroundings)
  • uses DNA as genetic information
25
Q

What is the role of PRODUCERS in an ecosystem?

A

provides food for the typical ecosystem

EX. TREE
absorbs water & co2 — sunlight— photosynthesis—–&raquo_space; sugar and o2

26

chemical substance of genes

Blueprint for constructing PROTEINS

31
Q

def. Genes

A

units of inheritance that transmit information from parent to offspring

-> controls activities and function of the cell

32
Q

How is a double helix constructed

A

Genes are grouped into DNA molecules (chromosomes )

33

39
Q

Def. Eukarya (domains of life)

A

have nucleaus and internal structures (organelles)

CONTIAN
Protists (mult. kingdoms) - single celled & simple multi-celled

Kingdom Plantae - Produce food through photosythisis

Kingdom Fungi - decompose dead/waste to absorb nuntrients into cells

Kingdom Animalia - eats other organisms

40
Q

Def. Intuitive reasoning

A

gerneralizations from large sets of data

41
Q

Def. Deductive reasoning

A

logic flowing from genral true premis to specific results expected

organsims = cells, humans =cells, THUS humans are organisms

42
Q

ARe you doning great

A

yes
