What is a covalent bond? - When two atoms share electrons What are the three key polar covalent bonds (for the sake of this class)? - O-H, N-H, S-H What can H bond to? - Other polar molecules and water. How are polymers built? - Through dehydration reactions (Monomer in, water out) How a...

Biology - Study of life Properties of life - order, energy processing, regulations, response to the environment, reproduction, growth and development, and evolutionary adaptation Types of prokaryotes - bacteria and archaea Kingdoms of eukaryotes - Animalia, protis, fungi, and plants What...

Meiosis lead to the production of ________. - Gametes Mitosis leads to the production of ________. - Somatic cells What are the functions of mitosis? - Growth, repair/replacement, and asexual reproduction in planaria. What is the G1 stage responsible for? - Cell growth, transcription/transl...

Basics of diffusion, gradients, and how they relate - Diffusion: spontaneous movement of very small things. It requires no energy investment by the organism (other than keeping the temperature above freezing) --direction is random Gradients: top of gradient = high concentration, bottom of gradie...

Why don't amoeba need circulatory systems? - Because they are immersed in particles unlike humans. They use phagocytosis to diffuse O2 and food into their bodies. They release CO2 back in the environment with ease. What is a sink for O2 and a producer of CO2 during cellular respiration? - Mitoch...

Define neuroscience, nervous systems, and neurons. - Neuroscience: any science that deals with the structure or function of the nervous system or the brain Neurons: cells that send and receive electrical or chemical signals (nerve cells) Nervous systems: circuits of neurons that integrate internal...

What is biological evolution? - Heritable change in a population across many generations. What is the difference between microevolution and macroevolution? - Microevolution is on a small scale. It is a change in a single gene. Macroevolution is on a large scale and results in the formation of a n...

Why are there so many different kinds of organisms? - -Many different species -Variation within species and between species Geological Evidence - -Fossil record suggests that organisms change -Earth is very old (4.6 billion years) -Biological life is also very old (3.5 billion years) Linnae...

1. adaptation: inherited characteristics of organisms that enhance their survival and reproduction in specific environments 2. artificial selection: controlling survival and reproduction, dramatic change can occur in a short period of time 3. homology: similarity due to common ancestry 4. homolog...
