GRADE A +
Change in the inherited traits in a population of organisms over time. - CORRECT ANSWER >>>Evolution
How organisms interact with each other and the environment - CORRECT ANSWER >>>Ecology
A natural process resulting in the evolution of organisms best adapted to the environment. - CORRECT ANSWER >>>Natural selection
Created by Charles Darwin, organisms pass on their DNA to their offspring; avoiding close relatives for more variety. - CORRECT ANSWER>>>Theory of evolution
The change in the inherited traits in a population of organisms within a single species over time (ie. bacteria gaining the ability to
withstand/resist antibiotics and survive) - CORRECT ANSWER>>>Microeveolution
Production of new species via thousands-to-millions of years of microevolution (ie Finches in the Galapagos have different beaks depending on the bird's respective needs for survival). - CORRECT ANSWER >>>Macroevolution
Selection by humans for breeding of useful traits from the natural variation among different organisms (ie. dog breeds) - CORRECT ANSWER >>>Artificial selection
A type of cell lacking a membrane-enclosed nucleus and membrane-enclosed organelles; found only in the domains Bacteria and Archaea. - CORRECT ANSWER >>>Prokaryotic cell
Larger, complex, with nucleus, membrane bound organelles, DNA tightly wrapped around histone proteins in chromosomes, cellulose in plant cell walls. - CORRECT ANSWER >>>Eukaryotic cells
A cell structure that forms a maze of passageways in which proteins and lipids are carried from one part of the cell to another.
- CORRECT ANSWER >>>Endoplasmic Reticulum
Lipid synthesis - CORRECT ANSWER >>>Smooth ER function
Protein synthesis - CORRECT ANSWER >>>Rough ER function
A system of membranes that modifies and packages proteins and lipids for export by the cell - CORRECT ANSWER >>>Golgi apparatus
A part of the cell containing DNA and RNA and responsible for growth and reproduction - CORRECT ANSWER >>>Nucleus
Surrounds the nucleus - CORRECT ANSWER >>>Nuclear membrane
Fluid inside the nucleus - CORRECT ANSWER >>>Nucleoplasm
Where ribosomes are assembled - CORRECT ANSWER>>>Nulceolus
Made up of RNA; this aids in protein synthesis around the rough ER or in the cytoplasm - CORRECT ANSWER >>>Ribosomes
An organelle containing digestive enzymes - CORRECT ANSWER>>>Lysosomes
A selectively-permeable phospholipid bilayer forming the boundary of the cells - CORRECT ANSWER >>>Plasma membrane
A molecule that is a constituent of the inner bilayer of biological membranes, having a polar, hydrophilic head and a nonpolar, hydrophobic tail. - CORRECT ANSWER >>>Phospholipids
Embedded in the bilayer of the cell membrane - CORRECT ANSWER>>>Proteins
Provides strength and fluidity to the cell membrane - CORRECT ANSWER>>>Cholesterol
Connected to the protein found in the cell membrane, they help with cell communication - CORRECT ANSWER>>>Carbohydrates
