  14. 13. CARBOHYDRATE a. an organic macromolecule composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen b. forming sugars or more complex polysaccharides c. both are correct

  15. 14. CARBON CYCLE a. moving carbon in the environment from living to non-living components of the ecosystem b. cellular respiration vs photosynthesis c. carbon dioxide to oxygen to carbon dioxide d. all choices

  16. 15. CARRYING CAPACITY a. b.

  17. 16. CATALYST • chemical that changes the rate of a chemical reaction without being altered nor used up • chemical that changes the rate of a chemical reaction using up the catalytic energy

  18. 17. CELL MEMBRANE Which is INCORRECT? Is a boundary of cells that act as a: a. regulatory barrier b. holds the cell together • responds to environmental changes • holds the DNA 

  19. 18. CELLULAR RESPIRATION- Which is INCORRECT? • chemical pathways that break down organic fuel for energy; • aerobic respiration uses oxygen • transportation system for proteins

  20. 19. CHEMOSYNTHETIC A process that converts inorganic substances to organic substances and that uses • something other than sunlight as an energy source • radiant energy or sunlight • radiant energy or may use something other than sunlight

  21. 20. CHLOROPLAST Which is INCORRECT? • an organelle found in plants that carries out photosynthesis • uses primarily the green portion of visible light • is where the energy for making carbohydrates is produced

  22. 21. CHROMOSOMES • threadlike, gene-carrying molecule composed of DNA and associated proteins • threadlike, gene- carrying molecule composed of RNA and associated proteins • threadlike, gene-carrying molecule composed of DNA and RNA and associated proteins

  23. 22. CO-DOMINANT • One allele is dominant • One allele is recessive then becomes • both alleles of a gene are expressed

  24. 23. COMMENSALISM- A relationship between two organisms in which • one is benefited and the other is unaffected. • one benefits while the other is harmed. • neither benefits.

  25. 24. COMMON ANCESTOR • previous species from which two evolutionary branches emerge • previous species from which two or more evolutionary branches emerge

  26. 25. COMMUNICATION 25. Animal behavior involving transmission, reception, and response to signals. Knowing this, which is NOT a form of communication? a. bird songs b. bird feeding the young c. bird displaying its colors to attract a match.

  27. 26. COMPETITION A. interaction when two or more organisms try to utilize the same limited resource B. interaction when two or more organisms try to utilize different resources

  28. 27. CONDENSATION Change in state of a substance from a a. liquid to a gas b. gas to a liquid c. liquid to a solid d. solid to a liquid

  29. 28. CONTROLLED EXPERIMENT • scientific investigation where an experimental group (with treatment) is compared to a control group (without treatment). • The reverse

  31. 30. DEDUCTIVE a. a form of reasoning where general principles are used to predict specific outcomes b. a form of reasoning where general conclusions are based on a series of specific observations

  32. 31. DEOXYRIBONUCLEIC ACID (DNA) The genetic material of living organisms which provides: a. a template for protein synthesis • contains the code that triggers characteristics • BOTH

  33. 32. DESCENT WITH MODIFICATION • Process by which traits arise in populations that are not usable nor viable for successive generations. b. process by which traits arise in populations and are inherited by successive generations

  34. 33. DIFFERENTIATION = changes in the a. differences in cell shape b. differences in cell physiology c. differences in cell function d. all are correct.

  35. 34. DIGESTION • mechanical decomposition of biological molecules • chemical decomposition of biological molecules • both are involved

  36. 35. DISEASE a. any condition that impairs normal function of a living organism b. only those conditions that impair normal functions of certain human systems
