Question | Answer |
---|---|
four elements are essential to life | carbon hydrogen nitrogen and oxygen |
what can you find out from atomic mass | protons plus neutrons |
chemical behavior of an atom depends on what | the number of electrons in the valence shell |
difference bt covalent and ionic bonds | covalent bonds share electrons bt atoms, ionic bonds involve the electrical attraction bt atoms |
if an atom has an inner middle and valence electron shell, which would hold the highest potential energy | valence or outer shell |
which of the following will be found in nearly all eukaryotic cells | mitochondria |
prokaryotes are classified as belonging to two different domains. what are they | bacteria and archaea |
what stucture is common to plant and animal cells | mitochondria |
which of the following describes the pathway taken by a protein destined for secretion from an animal cell | rough er transport vesicle golgi transport vesicle plasma membrane |
3 characteristics of prokaryotes | no nucleus, no organelles, smaller than eukaryotes |
3 characteristics of eukaryotes | DNA in nucleus, organelles, larger than eukaryotes |
what is catabolism | breaking down |
what is anabolism | building up |
what is true of metabolism in its entirity in all organisms | it depends on constant supply of energy from food |
what is true about enzymes | they increase the rate of reaction by lowering the activation barrier |
what are the 3 kinds of work a cell can do | chemical mechanical and transport |
in animal cells where does glycolysis occur | cytosol |
why is glycolysis described as having an energy investment phase and an energy pay off phase | early steps consume energy fromATP later steps store an increased amount of energy in ATP and NADH |
the complete oxidation of glucose in aerobic respiration occurs through which of the following sequence of metabolic reactions | glucose glycolysis pyruvate oxidation citric acid cycle electron transport chain |
what best describes the relationship of the light reactions and the calvin cycle | light reactions provide oxygen and carbon fixation for the calvin cycle in return the calvin cycle provides sugars to produce ATP |
what is the difference bt photo system 1 and 2 | photo 1 recycles neutrons and photo 2 is linear |
which photo system is coupled with the calvin cycle | 1 |
which of the following is true concerning cancer cells | they evade the controls that trigger cell death |
what type of cells are produced by meiosis | a haploid animal cell |
what event occurs in meiosis but not in mitosis | crossover of chromosomes |
why did the F1 offspring of mendels pea crossover always look like one of the two parental varieties | one allele was dominant |
which of the following traits is an example of polygenic inheritance | skin pigmentation |
what is meant by antiparall regarding the two strands of nucleic acid that makes up DNA | it goes 5' to 3' and the lagging strand goes 3' to 5' |
the leading strand and lagging strands of DNA formed during DNA replication differ that | the leading strand is replicated in the same direction of the replication fork and the lagging strand is replicated in the opposite direction |
why is semi conservative replication important | it helps protect against mutations |
what is an okazaki fragment | the lagging strand |
which of the following descriptions of nucleotide triplets best represents a codon | a triplet in the same reading fragment and corresponding to an amino acid |
what is the difference bt a DNA exon and intron | introns are non coding and exons are coding |
how does phylogeny differ from systematics | in the classification of organisms by evolutionary history |
how does a molecular clock work | by counting the number of nucleotide substitutions over fixed periods of time |
please define convergent evolution | when 2 animals that are somewhat similar adapt in the same way, even though the animals are in different areas of the world |
which of the following statements about species as defined by the biological species concept is are correct | bio species are defined by reproductive isolation and a species is the largest unit of population in which successful interbreeding is possible |
which of the following reproductive types of isolation illustrates postzygotic barriers | hybrid breakdown |
the phylogenetic species of concept defines a species as | the smallest group of individuals that share a common ancestor |
the evolution of mammals from early tetrapods | is an example of macro evolution |
which of these planet substances is the richest of fossils | sedimentary rock |
which event stimulated the rapid development of eukaryotes | addition of oxygen to the atmosphere |
which of the following is the correct sequence of events in the origin of life | 2 3 1 4 |
the first genes on earth were probably | self replicating RNA molecules |
what are the three most common prokaryotic bacterial shapes | rod sphere spiral |
which of these observations gives the most support to the endosymbiotic theory for the origin of eukaryotic cells | the similarity in size bt the cytosolic ribosomes of prokaryotes and the ribosomes within mitochondria and chloroplast |
the evolution of multicellularity in animals has primarily occurred by | changing how existing genes are used |
of the 4 supergroups of eukaryotes which one contains red algae green algae and all land plants | archeplastida |
please describe one of the supergroups | archeplastida has red and green algae and all land plants |
challenges for survival of the first land plants include | sources of water sperm transfer desiccation 1 2 3 |

which of the following is incorrectly matched | eutherians; egg laying mammals |
what is not true about hominins | increased brain size led to bipedalism in hominins |
what are the 3 true tissue layers | ectoderm endoderm and midderm |
certain nutrients are considered essential in the diet of animals because | they are required for animal diets but these animals are not able to synthesize these nutrients |
