Finalsssss Flashcards
(25 cards)
ATP
Adenosine triple phosphate
what does a decomposer do?
decomposes organic materials.
What did Lamarck propose?
Species modification- when similar species came from a common ancestor.
What did Darwin propose?
Species vary globally, locally, and overtime.
Descent with modification-
Modification by natural selection-
what are the types of genetic variations?
Homologous body structure,
Analogous body structure,
Vestigial structure,
Similarities in embryology,
Geographic distribution of living species,
Macro-molecule and biochemical similarities,
Transitional species.
biotic
all living things
Abiotic
non living
Hierarchy of life
like a pyramid that ranks organisms from the most simple to complex
Basics about Carbohydrates
monosaccharide, used for fast energy.
Basics about lipids
gylercel and 3 fatty acids
Basics about Proteins
amino acid, used as building blocks for organs/tissues
Basics about Nucleic Acids
nucleotide, used in heredity like DNA and RNA
what is a somatic cell?
any cell produced by mitosis, NOT GAMETE
what is a sex cell?
any cell produced by meiosis
what are the produces of the light reaction
NADPH, ATP, oxygen
what are the produces of the dark reaction?
1/2 glucose
CAM plants
they use special adaptions to sustain water in harsh conditions
complete dominance
when the dominant allele masks recessive
incomplete dominance
when there the traits mix (EX. red and white makes pink)
co-dominance
when there is no dominant allele so both traits show up.
Adaptive radiation
a fast increase in evolution through a common ancestor
Acquired characteristic
traits that are gained in lifetime, not through genetics.
Descent with modification
theory that overtime many species have evolved from one or few common ancestors
Crossing over
occurs during meiosis when a male and female chromosome exchanges DNA which leads to variation
