Term
7 criteria of living things
Definition
1)Hierarchy of complexity
2)Acquisition of nutrients and materials
3)Growth
4)Homeostasis
5)Adaptive response capability
6)Reproduce
7)Evolve
Term
Classification done by:
Definition
1)Cell Type-Eukaryote/Prokaryote
2)Cell Number-Uni/Multi
3)Nutrient Acquisition-Absorbative, photosynthetic, ingestive
Term
5 kingdoms
Definition
1)Monera
2)Protista
3)Fungi
4)PLantae
5)Animalia
Term
Investigative Science
Definition
1)Natural Causality
2)Uniformity in time and space
3)Common perception
Term
Scientific Method
Definition
1)Observation
2)Hypothesis
3)Experimentation
4)Reevaluation
5)Conclusion
Term
Autotrophs
Definition
Self feeders
Term
Heterotrophs
Definition
Consumers
Term
Pyramid of Consumption
Definition
autotrophs > primary > seconday > tertiary
10% of E transferred from level to level
Term
Bioaccumulation
Definition
Toxins concentrate from level to level in Pyramid
Term
Open/Closed Loop
Definition
E has open loop. E never returns to sun
Nutrients have closed loop, always conserved
Term
delta pop
Definition
delta pop = (b-d) + (I-E)
Term
Biotic potential/environmental resistance
Definition
pop able to be created/pop killed by nature, relationship between creates actual population
Term
2 types of cycles-
Definition
Boom-Bust-abiotic busts in population
Sigmodial-biotic resistance to biotic potential creates equilibrium at "carrying capacity"
Term
Biotic resistance
Definition
Predation, Pathogens, Parasites, Competition
Term
ecological niche
Definition
role of an organism in environment, home and job, overlapping niches create competition
Term
Nature reduces niche overlap by:
Definition
competitive exclusion-one species outperforms another, dominates
niche specialization-narrow niches to avoid overlap
Term
Symbiosis:
Definition
relationship b/t two organisms:
Parasitism-+/-
Commensalism-+/0
Mutualism-+/+
Term
Predator/prey
Definition
Predator keeps prey population controlled, keystone predator is top predator, keeps niches from overlapping
Term
demographics
Definition
pop patterns(spatial/temporal)
spatial: aggregate, uniform, random
temporal: I (convex), II (constant), III (concave)
Term
I, II, III
Definition
I-K stategy, few young, larger, slow maturation, parental guidance, reproduce several times
II- constant
III- R Strategy- many offspring, smaller, no parents, fast maturation
Term
ecological succession
Definition
one ecosystem phased out by another, either primary (barren) or secondary (previous ecosystem changed, new one forms)
Term
Buffon
Definition
Seed organisms - make fossils
Term
Cuvier
Definition
Catastrophism
Term
Hutton/Lyel
Definition
Uniformitarianism/Gradualism (old planet)
Term
Lamark
Definition
genetic passing on of acquired characteristics
Term
Malthus
Definition
Carrying capacity/competition
Term
Darwin
Definition
Incorporates all previous ideas into grand theory of evolution
Term
Evidence of evolution
Definition
biogeographical distribution
fossils
comparative anatomy (homologus/ Analagous)
Vestigal structures
Competitive Biochemistry
Artificial Selection
Industrial Melanism
Term
what stimulates cell division?
Definition
Untenable ratio of volume to surface area
Term
interphase
Definition
stages in between cell division.
g1- performs cell function, grows to point of SA/V
r1- replicates DNA
g2- sets up for division/fissure
Term
Mitosis
Definition
replication/division for eukaryotes
1)Late interphase
2)Prophase-nucleus/nucleoulus gone, chromosomes appear, spindles appear
3)Metaphase-chromosomes align equitorially with chromatids facing opposite poles
4)Anaphase-chromatids move to opposite poles, becoming full chromosomes
5)Telephase-reform nucleus,nucleolus, spindles dissolve
6)Cytokinesis-cytoplasm splits
Term
Gametes
Definition
Sex cells, formed by meiosis, 1/2 diploid
Term
Mendel
Definition
1st genetic experiments, monohybrid experiment with pea plant colors
Term
Mendellian Principles
Definition
1) Inheritance-segregation into gametes, 2 alleles per gene, one is dominant
2) Genotypes- genetic makeup of alleles, Phenotype- displayed allele
3) independent segregation of alleles
Term
Homozygous/Heterozygous
Definition
same 2 alleles, mixed allele
Term
Test Cross
Definition
breed unknown genotype with homozygous recessive, mathematically calculate genotype of unk, use Punnett Square
Term
Dihybrid Cross (Mendellian)
Definition
9:3:3:1
Term
Bateson/Punnett
Definition
linked genes lead to non mendellian patterns b/c don't independently sort
Term
Bateson/Punnett
Definition
linked genes lead to non mendellian patterns b/c don't independently sort
Term
genetic crossover
Definition
chromosomes in prophase I of meiosis swapping genes, results in variation
Term
genetic crossover
Definition
chromosomes in prophase I of meiosis swapping genes, results in variation
