AB
What are the parts of the molecule of ATP?Phosphate groups; ribose; and adenine
Which letter shows where the energy is stored in a molecule of ATP?A-adenine
How many phosphates are in a molecule of ATP, ADP and AMP?3, 2, 1
What is the definition of a calorie?The amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of a liter of water 1 degree celsius
What is the source of all energy for life on earth?The sun
What are the main reactants of photosynthesis?Carbon dioxide and water
What are the main products of photosynthesis?Carbohydrates (glucose) and oxygen
What is the energy used to start the process of photosynthesis?Light energy from the sun
Approximately how many ATP are made at the end of photosynthesis?18 ATP
What are the main reactants of cellular respirationCarbohydrates and oxygen
What are the main products of cellular respiration?Carbon dioxide and water
What is the energy used to start the process of cell respiration?Energy from glucose from glycosis.
Approximately how many ATP are made at the end of cell respiration?36 ATP
Since Oxygen is present, what type of respiration is this? Aerobic or Anaerobic?Aerobic
What is glycolysis? Aerobic or anaerobic? Where does it occur? How many ATP are made?Series of chemical reactions in the cytoplasm of a cell that break down glucose into molecules of pyruvic acid. 4 ATP are made.
What is alcoholic fermentation? Aerobic or Anaerobic? When does it occure? How many ATP are made?It is when pyruvic acid and NADH make alcohol, carbon dioxide, and NAD. Yeast use this type of fermentation to create CO2 and ethyl alcohol. Makes 2 ATP
What is lactic acid fermentation? Aerobic or Anaerobic? When does it occur? How many ATP are made?When Pyruvic acid and NADH make lactic acid and NAD. This is the cause of sore muscles. 2 ATP are made.
What do arrows represent in a food web?Point to what the living organism is eaten by and where the energy goes.
What is the producer?Organisms (autotrophs) that produce/make their own food
What percent of energy is passed on at each trophic level?10%
What percent of energy is lost at each trophic level?90%
What is an energy pyramid?Amount of incoming energy
What is a numbers pyramid?The number of organisms
What is a biomass pyramid?Mass of living tissue
One species benefits at the expense of anotherParatism
Both species benefit from their relationshipMutualism
Neither individuals benefit due to wasted energy for the same resourceCompetition
One species benefits and the other is neither helped nor harmedCommensalism
Both species keep one another in check below their carrying capacityPredator/prey
What are the two abiotic factors that limit a biome?Precipitation and Temperature
What is biomagnification? How does it increase?The bioaccumulation of a substance up the food chain by transfer of residues of the substance in smaller organisms. Organisms have a higher concentration of a substance that is present in the organism's food
Who is Rachel Carson? What is she known for?Created environmental policy to prevent the environmental problems caused by synthetics pesticides. Book Silent sprung nation-wide ban on DDT
What are density-dependent limiting factors?Based upon the population size; ex: competition, predation, stress, disease
What are density-independent limiting factors?Affects the entire population regarding of size; ex: extreme weather, seasonal cycles, and human activities
What is the carrying capacity?The amount of organisms that can live without completely depleting resources.
How has human population growth been a growing concern for our planet. What is a good way to moderate it?Since humans hit the Modern Age, 200 years ago, there has been an exponential increase of the population. There will eventually not be as many resources and land. Can monderate it by raising status of girls and women, birth control, and education. DEVELOPMENT.
