Cards

Term
Population Density Definition
Definition
number of individuals per unit area
Term
birth rate definition, symbol and unit type
Definition
RATE of birth, b, number of births per individual per unit time
Term
death rate definition, symbol and unit type
Definition
rate of death, d, number of units per individual per units of time
Term
population growth rate formula
Definition
r=b-d
Term
exponential growth (include formula)
Definition
unlimited resources, G=rN -> G=population growth increment, r=population growth rate, N=initial population size
Term
logistic growth (include formula)
Definition
limited resources, G=rN[(K-N)/K] -> K=carryig capacity
Term
carrying capacity
Definition
maximum number of animals in an environment
Term
what affects disease risk? (5 things)
Definition
1. Population Density
2. Nutrition
3. Hygiene
4. Age
5. Vaccinations
Term
what is the innate immunity our bodies have?
Definition
Macrophages
Term
How do macrophages work and what is their weakness?
Definition
They attack anything alien in the body, can't remember a specific pathogen or recognize "cheating" cells
Term
what is the acquired immunity our body has?
Definition
B cells
Term
how do B cells work?
Definition
encounter invader -> remember invader -> mark the so macrophages destroy them

takes time to develop!
Term
how do the cells recognize our cells from invaders?
Definition
protein structures outside the cell
Term
antigens
Definition
provokes immune response, can be glycoprotein or other molecule on surface of cell
Term
antigen receptors
Definition
complementary molecules found on the surface of host cells
Term
antibodies
Definition
complementary molecules released into the blood by activated cells to flag alien cells for macrophages to engulf and kill
Term
how long do memory cells last?
Definition
rest of your life
Term
what are vaccines for?
Definition
bacteria and viruses
Term
what are vaccines?
Definition
low doses of pathogens often in inactive form injected into an individual
Term
how do vaccines work?
Definition
they help B cells lear about the specific antigen and create
Term
What is some evidence of the endosymbiont hypothesis for mitochondria and chloroplasts? (5)
Definition
size, membrane structure,divide on their own, contain own DNA and ribosomes, chloroplast pigments similar to cyanobacteria
Term
Why do we need vaccine boosters?
Definition
The virus/bacteria can mutate and evolve over time, thus  aking themselves unrecognizable by the B-Cells a previous vaccine helped creat to fight this disease
Term
genotype definition
Definition
genetic makeup of an organism
Term
phenotype defintion
Definition
observable characteristics or traits of an organism
Term
synonymous substitutions definition
Definition
some changes in codons do not change the amino acid
Term
non-synomous substitutions
Definition
some changes in codons change the amino acid
Term
diploid organisms
Definition
organisms with homologous chromosomes (pairs) -> if one is lost, there is a backup
Term
haploid organisms
Definition
organisms with one pair of chromosome, most unicellular organisms
Term
Genotype - AA
Definition
homozygous dominant
Term
Genotype - Aa
Definition
heterozygous
Term
Genotype - aa
Definition
homozygous recessive
Term
phenotype - AA
Definition
dominant
Term
phenotype - Aa
Definition
dominant
Term
phenotype - aa
Definition
recessive
Term
autosomal
Definition
transmission of trait independent of parent sex; mother and father pas traits to both sons and daughters equally
Term
sex-linked
Definition
transmission of trait differs by parent; a mother passes traits on the X to sons ad daughters equally, a father passes traits on the X only to daughters
Term
Complete Dominance
Definition
one allele is expressed in the phenotype of a heterozygote and the other is not
Term
codominance
Definition
both allele products are expressed in the phenotype of heterozygote
Term
possible blood genotypes
Definition
AA/AO, BB/BO, AB, OO
Term
blood donor understanding
Definition
O is a universal donor but only receives from O, AB is a universal recipient but only donates to AB, A can receive O and B and can donate to A and AB, B can receive O and B but can only donate to B and AB
