Additional Biology Flashcards

 


 

Cards

Term

 

 

Gametes

Definition

Sex cells (they have 1/2 the number of chromosomes)

 

*Ex: Humans- diploid: 46, haploid: 23

 

Term

 

 

Pedigree Chart

Definition

 

 

 

 

*Ex: X linked-colorblindness

Term

 

 

RNA & DNA

Definition

Each unit is called a nucleotide

 

 

 

*Ex: A=T and C=G <--(these are hydrogen bonds that are easily broken by enzymes)

Term

 

 

Transcription

Definition

It takes place in the nucleus

 

 

*Ex: ATT- DNA and UAA- RNA

Term

 

 

Translation

Definition

Takes place on the ribosomes

 

 

(USE THE CHART!!) *Ex: 1st base, 2nd base, and 3rd base

Term

 

 

tRNA

Definition
It moves amino acides to the ribosomes
Term

 

 

Ribosomes

Definition

It makes the proteins (Protein Synthesis)

 

*Ex: Small black dots in the cell

Term

 

 

Prokaryotes & Eukaryotes

Definition

BOTH have ribosomes

 

(Only eukaryotes have membrane bound organelles *Ex: Nucleus, mitochondria)

Term

 

 

Transgenic Organism

Definition

Has DNA from another organism

 

*Ex: Insulin produced by bacteria (Advantages: More DNA can be produced)

Term

 

 

What can we make glow in the dark?

Definition

 

 

Plants

Term

 

 

Gene Therapy

Definition
It is used to fix genetic disorders
Term

 

 

Karyotype

Definition

It is a chromosome map that can be used to see if the fetus has too many chromosomes

 

*Ex: Down-Syndrome

Term

 

 

What is caused by nondisjunction?

Definition
Down-Syndrome
Term

 

 

Crossing Over

Definition
It occurs when chromosomes exchange genetic material, it also increases genetic variety (more combinations of traits)
Term

 

 

ALL bacteria are...?

Definition
Prokaryotes
Term
Definition
Bacteria WITHOUT limited resources (plenty of food)
Term
Definition
Bacteria WITH limited resources
Term

 

 

Bacteria can be killed with what?

Definition

Antibiotics

 

*Ex: Infections like streptococcus (strep throat)

Term

 

 

Is more surface area better or worse?

Definition

Better

 

*Ex: DNA and small intestines are coiled inside your body, and mitochondria folds inside the membrane (this means more energy is produced)

Term

 

 

What do plant walls contain?

Definition
Cellulose
Term

 

 

The gas that plants give off is called...?

Definition
Oxygen (O)
Term

 

 

Angiosperms

Definition

Plants that produce flowers

 

*Ex: Apple trees

Term

 

 

Gymnosperms

Definition

Can produce cones

 

*Ex: Pine trees (conifer)- the seed falls out of the cone (naked seed)

Term

 

 

Cellular Respiration

Definition

Glucose + Oxygen --> CO2 + H2O + Energy

= ATP

Term

 

 

Acid rain is caused by what?

Definition

Humans putting to much pollution in the air

 

*Ex: SO2 (sulfur dioxide)

Term
Definition
These two are the closest kin (similar amino acids + DNA)
Term

 

 

Nitrogen Cycle

Definition

If too much nitrogen builds up it can cause problems

 

*Ex: Algae in a pond

Term

 

 

E

Definition

The 'Big E' is a lipid (fatty acids & glycerol)

 

*Ex: Think of Elvis being big and fat when he died

Term

 

 

Hemoglobin

Definition
It carries oxygen to the cells, it is a protein that is on your red blood cells, you would get tired and have no energy if you didn't have enough of it
Term

 

 

Pheromones

Definition

Chemical scents that many insects use to communicate

 

*Ex: Bumble bees and ants (social behavior)

Term

 

 

Pavlov's Dog

Definition
Bell + Dog = Food ( the man will ring the bell and the dog salivates- expects to be fed)
Term

 

 

Trial & Error

Definition
Rat in a maze
Term

 

 

Imprinting

Definition
Bird follows the first thing it sees (thinking its his mother)
Term

 

 

Mutualism

Definition

Both organisms benefit

 

*Ex: Bees & flower

Term

 

 

Commensalism

Definition

One organism benefits, the other doesn't

 

*Ex: Chino & the birds

Term

 

 

The trophic level with the MOST energy is what?

Definition
The plants
Term

 

 

The trophic level with the LEAST energy is what?

Definition
The hawk
Term

 

 

What causes lung cancer & emphysema?

Definition
Cigarette smoking
Term
Definition
Osmosis
