Question
Answer
Who developed Gram Staining in 1884?   Hans Christian Gram  
🗑
Gram Staining is composed of what two parts?   primary crystal violet stain and counter safranin stain  
🗑
What are the two major classes of bacteria?   Gram + (purple) and Gram - (pink)  
🗑
Cell walls do what?   strength/stability and protection  
🗑
How many methods in the gram staining process?   3  
🗑
study of life   biology  
🗑
basic unit of life   organism  
🗑
interaction of living and non-living; study of ecosystem   ecology  
🗑
bare necessities of life   water, nutrients, and energy  
🗑
How can organisms receive energy?   self produced or stolen  
🗑
produce energy for the rest of the web of life   producers  
🗑
primary consumers   herbivores (1*)  
🗑
secondary consumers   carnivores (3*)  
🗑
eat dead/decaying organisms   scavengers  
🗑
return nutrients to soil and get energy from the sun; complete the movement of matter; without these, soil would be nutrient free   decomposers  
🗑
the sun provides almost all of this to Earth as light   energy  
🗑
light energy ---> chemical energy (sugars)   photosynthesis  
🗑
a complex interaction to food chains   food web  
🗑
energy moves with arrows; matter stores energy (sugars, fats, proteins)   matter and energy  
🗑
community and abiotic enviroment in a specific area   ecosystem  
🗑
all ecosystems in the world   biosphere  
🗑
an organism's role in a community (defined by what it eats, what eats it, etc.)   niche  
🗑
location that an organism lives   habitat  
🗑
bear eats slamon   direct interaction  
🗑
throw away plastic ring -> ring ends up in ocean -> animal gets trapped in it -> animal is seriously injured/dies   indirect interaction  
🗑
relationships are not always equal   community interactions  
🗑
prey harmed to benefit predator   predator-prey  
🗑
parasite injures the host to get nutrients; parasite may weaken or kill host   parasite interactions  
🗑
one example of symbiosis   parasitism  
🗑
2 or more organisms live in direct physical contact   symbiosis  
🗑
example of symbiosis   lichens  
🗑
microscopic producers provide energy   lichens  
🗑
consumers provide nutrients to producers   algae  
🗑
mutually beneficial   relationship  
🗑
allows balance to be maintained; harder for individuals to access resources   communal benefits of competetion  
🗑
too many grasshoppers -> less marsh grass live and snails to die out -> snakes have less food   excessive competition  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
