What is Biology ?
The study of life
|
Who is Robert Hooke?
He is credited with discovering the cell.
|
What is metabolism?
total of all chemical processes that occure in an oganism.

What is ecology?
The study of organisms interactions with their environments.
|
What is predation?
The process by which one orgnaism captures and kills another.
|
What is the scientific method?
A logical way to approch a problem, a problem-solving method.
|
What are prokaryotes and eukaryotes?
The two different kinds of cells.
|
What is ATP?
The energy carrying molecule in cells.
|
What are abiotic factors?
These are the non-living factors of environments.
|
What is symbiosis?
When two organims live together in a close long-term relationship.
|
What is quantitative?
data or an observation that uses numbers.
|
What is the phospholipid bilayer?
Ther cell membrane is made of this, which is composed of a hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tail.
|
What is photosynthesis
The process that plants use to make sugar
|
What is 10%?
This is the amount of energy that is passed between trophic levels.
|
What is competitive exclusion?
When two species compete for reasorces, usually resulting in one dying out, this occurs.
|
What is metabolism, reproduction, growth, orginization, cells, and homeostasis?
MR. John stands for this.
|
What are cell membrane, cytoplasm, ribosomes, or DNA?
Name 3 of the 4 structures all cells have.
|
What is cellular respiration?
sugar & O2 -> CO2 & H2O & ATP is the equation for this chemical process.
|
What is primary productivity?
this is what determines the amount of energy that is availible in an ecosystem, based on the producers in the ecosystem.
|
What are mutualism, commensalism, or parasitism.
Name two of the three symbiotic relationships.
|
What is the U.S.?
this is the only country that doesnt use the metric system
|
What is all living things are make of cells, cells are the basic unit of structure and function, and all cells come from pre-existing cells?
These are the three parts of the cell theory.
|
What are carotenoids?
The chemical that causes the leaves to change colors in the fall.
|
What is chemosynthesis?
when a plant cant get enough sunlight, it uses this to make sugars instead.
