Energy Cycles
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Energy | gives organisms abillity to do certain things |
| Autotroph | organisms that makes it's own food |
| Primary consumers | a herbivore, first in the food chain |
| Omnivores | organisms that eat plants and meat |
| detritus | eroded matter |
| Photosynthesis | using suns energy to convert water and carbon dioxide into sugars |
| Consumer | obtain food by eating producers or other consumers |
| Secondary consumers | organism that feed on smaller herbivores in the food chain |
| Decomposers | organisms that break down dead plants and animals |
| Food Webs | depicts feeding connections |
| Producers | produce organic molecules, that serve as food for organisms in ecosystem |
| Heterotroph | Organisms that can't make own food |
| Carnivores | organisms that eat meat from other animals |
| Trophic Level | position that a organism has in a food chain |
| Food Chain | sequence of which organisms eat what organisms |
| Biomass | biological material deprived from living or dead organisms |
| Herbivores | Organisms that only eat plants |
| Tertiary consumers | animals that feed on secondary consumers |
| Cellular Respiration | chemical process that uses oxygen to convert the chemical energy, stored in organic molecules into another form of chemical energy, a molecule called ATP. |
| Primary Productivity | rate at which producers in an ecosystem build biomass |
| Energy Pyramid | emphasizes the energy loss from one trophic level to the next |
| biomass pyramid | represents the actual biomass in each trophic level in a ecosystem |
| biomass pyramid | represents the actual biomass in each trophic level in a ecosystem |
| pyramid of numbers | depicts the number of individual organisms in each trophic level of an ecosystem |
| kinetic energy | energy of moton |
| potential energy | energy that is stored due to an objects position or arrangement |
| thermal energy | type of kinetic energy, random molecular movement |
| chemical energy | potential energy to perform work is due to the arrangement of atoms in the molescules |
| calorie | ammouint of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree celsuis |
| ATP | transports chemical energy within cells for metasbolism |
| chloroplast | cellular organelle where photosynthesis takes place |
| thylakoid | disk-shaped sacs suspended in the stroma |
| photosynthesis | using suns energy to convert water and carbon dioxide into sugars |
| light reactions | convert energy in sunlight to chemical energy |
| chlorophyll | chemical compounds that make plants green |
| stroma | inner membrane that encloses thick fluid |
| light reactions | convert energy in sunlight to chemical energy makes sugar from the atoms in carbon |
| Calvin cycles | atoms in carbon dioxide plus the hydrogen ions and high energy electrons earned by nadph |
| equation for photosynthesis | 6co2+6h20+light energy------c6h12o6+6o2 |
| wavelength | the length of a single cycle of a wave from light |
| electromagnetic spectrum | range of all types of em radiation |
| pigment | material that changes the color or reflected or transmitted light as a result from wavelengths |
| paper chromatography | separating and identifying mixtures like pigments |
| photosystem | help absorption of light for photosynthesis |
| mitochondria | powerhorse of cell |
| aerobic | with oxygen |
| electron transport train | |
| metabolism | a cell's chemical process |
| glycolysis | first stage in breaking down a glucose molecule |
| krebs cycle | finishes breakdown of pyruvic acid molecules to co2 releasing more energy enzymes of kreb are dissolved in the fluid matrix |
| equation for cellular respiration | c6h12o6+6o2===6co2+6h2o+energy |
| atp synthase | protein structures, act like mini turbines |
| fermentation | makes atp with oxygen |
| lactic acid fermentatiom | glucose is converted to energy with oxygen |
| alcoholic fermentation | glucose is converted to energy without oxygen |
| anerobic | without oxygen |
| chromosome theory of inheritance | genes are located on chromosomes during meiosis and fertilization accounts for inheritance patterns |
| gene locus | alleles of a gene that reside at the same location |
| genetic linkage | tendency for the alleles on one chromosome to be inherited together |
| hybrid | offspring of 2 different true breeding varieties |
| monohybrid cross | pairing in which the parents plants differ in only are (mono) character |
| alleles | alternate forms of genes |
| homozygous | two of the same alleles |
| heterozygous | different alleles |
| dominant | one allele that is heterozygous and takes over |
| recessive | takes two to affect genotype |
| punnet square | shows all possibilities or particular offspring outcomes |
| phenotype | observable trait |
| genotype | genetic make up |
| testcross | breeds an individual of unknown genotype |
| dihybrid cross | crossing organisms in differently in two characters |
| intermediate inheritance | hetero zygotes having a phenotype that is intermediate between the phenotype of 2 homozygotes |
| codomiance | hetero zygote expresses both traits |
| polygenic inheritance | two or more genes affect a single character |
