24
New cards

Haploid

23 chromosomes

25

26
New cards

Passive transport

Minerals and water are transported passively through osmosis, diffusion, evaporation, and mass flow, without using metabolic energy.

27
New cards

Active transport

Active transport requires energy from cells because it moves particles against their natural flow, from low to high concentration.

28
New cards

primary succession

Primary succession occurs in areas without plants, animals, or soil, starting with bare conditions unsuitable for most life forms.

29
New cards

Gamete cells

Mature haploid cell

30
New cards

Somatic cells

any cell other than a reproductive cell

31
New cards

Lamarck

Acquired traits develop during an organism's lifetime and are not inherited.

32
New cards

Darwin

Acquired traits are characteristics gained during an organism's life and cannot be passed to offspring.

33
New cards

Cellular respiration

Respiration is the process that produces the energy needed to fuel all cell activities.

34
New cards

What % of air is oxygen

21%

35
New cards

Small-scale evolutionary changes within a population

What is microevolution?

36
New cards

Adaptation is the process by which a species develops traits that improve survival and reproduction. A trait qualifies as an adaptation if it enhances fitness, is heritable, and evolves through natural selection.

Describe the process of adaptation and when a trait can be considered an adaptation.

37
New cards

Mutations create variation. Helpful mutations improve survival, leading to evolution.

How do mutations lead to evolution, and under what circumstances are they significant?

38
New cards

Reproductive isolating mechanisms prevent different species from interbreeding.

What are the reproductive isolating mechanisms, and how do they contribute to speciation?

39
New cards

Explain how variation develops within a population?

Variation develops through mutations, genetic recombination during reproduction, and gene flow from other populations.

40
New cards

Compare and contrast artificial selection with natural selection, including pros and cons of selective breeding.

Comparison:

  • Both involve choosing traits that pass to the next generation.

  • Natural selection occurs naturally, while artificial selection is human-controlled.

Contrast:

  • Natural Selection: Traits improve survival and reproduction in the wild.

  • Artificial Selection: Traits are chosen for human benefit (e.g., higher yield, appearance).

Pros of Artificial Selection:

  • Enhances desirable traits (e.g., bigger fruits, stronger animals).

  • Faster than natural evolution.

Cons of Artificial Selection:

  • Reduces genetic diversity.

  • Can cause health problems in animals (e.g., dog breeds prone to diseases).

41
New cards

Provide examples of characteristics that can be selected for through sexual selection and explain why they are advantageous

  • Bright feathers (e.g., peacocks) - Attract mates.

  • Large antlers (e.g., deer) - Compete for mates.

  • Complex songs (e.g., birds) - Impress potential mates.

42
New cards

How does genetic drift differ from natural selection?

Genetic drift is a random process, while natural selection is a non-random process

43
New cards

What is variation in the context of adaptation and evolution?

Differences in traits among individuals

44
New cards

What is descent with modification as described by Charles Darwin?

The process by which species evolve over time through gradual changes

45
New cards

Vestigial structures are remnants of organs that have lost their original function (e.g., human appendix, goosbumps)

What are vestigial structures? Can you provide an example?

46
New cards

Ciliated cells move mucus to the throat to be swallowed

What is the significance of ciliated cells in the respiratory system?

47
New cards

Artery, veins, and capilaries

What are the three main types of blood vessels in the circulatory system?

48
New cards

Liver

Which organ produces bile, an important substance for digestion?

49
New cards

What are macronutrients?

Carbohydrates, proteins, and fats

50
New cards

Enzymes break down food into absorbable molecules.

What is the role of enzymes in digestion?

51
New cards

To facilitate exchange of materials between blood and tissues

What is the main function of capillaries in the circulatory system?

52
New cards

Mouth, Esophagus, Stomach, Small intestine, Large intestine, Rectum

Describe the path food takes through the digestive system.

53
New cards

Accessory organs help digestion by producing enzymes and substances. The liver makes bile, the pancreas releases digestive enzymes, and the gallbladder stores bile, improving nutrient absorption.

Explain the importance of accessory organs in the digestive process?

54
New cards

Discuss the differences in digestive systems between herbivores, carnivores, and insectivores.

  • Herbivores: Long intestines, specialized teeth for grinding plants, fermentation chambers for cellulose digestion.

  • Carnivores: Shorter intestines, sharp teeth for tearing meat, strong stomach acids for protein breakdown.

  • Insectivores: Short intestines, specialized adaptations for digesting insects, often have sticky tongues or quick jaws.

55
New cards

Gas pressure is key in breathing. Inhalation lowers lung pressure, drawing in air, while exhalation increases pressure, pushing air out. This helps take in oxygen and expel carbon dioxide.

How does gas pressure relate to the process of respiration?

56
New cards

What are the four major groups of macromolecules, and what are their main functions?

Carbohydrates, Proteins, Lipids, Nucleic Acids

57
New cards

4

how many chamber are in a heart

58
New cards

to break down food into nutrients

What is the primary function of the digestive system?

59
New cards

Digestion breaks down food in the stomach and intestines. Nutrients are absorbed in the small intestine, enter capillaries, and are carried to the liver and the rest of the body.

How do nutrients enter the bloodstream after digestion?

60
New cards

Herbivores have longer intestines than carnivores

What distinguishes herbivores from carnivores in terms of digestive structure?

61
New cards

Both mechanical and chemical digestion

Which type of digestion occurs in the stomach?
