Ecology

1. In order to have a stable food web, it is important to have much more autotrophs than heterotrophs
2. Exponential growth
3. Carrying capacity – maximum amount of organisms that can live in an area without using up all the resources
4. Animals, humans, plant life
5. Weather, precipitation, rain fall, water, soil,
6. More mice would die because there would be more snakes eating, eventually, snake population would go down because there wouldn’t be enough food.
7. Pollution increases the thickness of the atmosphere → traps more of the suns heat → global warming


Cell Parts and Organelles

1. Prokaryotes – no nucleus, no organelles, small
Eukaryotes – has nucleus, has organelles, big
2. Animal Cell (see Notes)
3. Plant Cell (See Notes)
4. Lysosomes
5. Nucleus
6. Ribosomes
7. Mitochondria
8. Chloroplast

Cell Transport

1. Diffusion is the movement of molecules from a high concentration to a low concentration.
2. Salt water fish in hypotonic solution would cause the cell to swell (get bigger)
3. Cell membranes are mostly made up of lipids, with a few large proteins embedded in it to function like a gate
4. Diffusion that happens through a protein is called: facilitated diffusion

Biochemistry Study Guide Answers

1.

• Carbohydrates / energy, plant structure / bread, rice, grain, pasta
• Protein / transport, speed up reaction, structure / enzymes, hormones, skin, hair, muscles
• Lipids / barrier, energy / oil, wax fat
• Nucleic Acid / genetic information / DNA

2. monomer is one unit (example, monosaccharide), polymer is made up of many monomers put together.

3. product (the end product of a chemical reaction, what you make), reactants (starting molecules)

4. proteins

5. 75

6. 65

7. enzymes lower the activation energy. less energy is needed to for reaction to occur.

8. positive

9. active site changes shape, can no longer bind to the substrate

10. a. hydrogen peroxide

b. catalase (enzyme in living cells)

c. hydrogen peroxide

d. water, oxygen gas

Ecology Study Guide Answers

1. Benefit
2. Benefit, Not harmed, does not benefit
3. benefits, harmed
4. ex. 1 - eyelash mites and humans, ex.2 - whale and barnacles, ex 3 - sea cucumber and pearlfish
5. a. Birth b. Death c. Emigration d. Immigration
6. emigrated, immigrated
7. Other squirrels in the community would have more competition for food; Animals that prey on squirrels will grow in population because they have more food; Producers that are eaten by squirrels will decrease in number
8. Phosphorous, Carbon, Water, Nitrogen
9. Bacteria
10. When organisms die and decompose; Urine
11. Organisms that have died many years ago.
12. Sun, Wind, Food, Water
13. Coal, Oil, Natural Gas
14. We started using coal and oil to produce more energy. More energy --> more food --> Increase in population
15. Agriculture, Urban Development, Hunting and Gathering
16. Rarely does being "green" pay off. Often times it comes at a personal cost. Human nature tends to only care about their own well being.
17. Global warming occurs when the atmosphere is thickened by the carbon emissions released by human activity. The thickening of the atmosphere causes more of the sun's heat to be trapped which leads to increased global temperature.
18. Primary succession - predictable changes in an ecosystem that starts from bare rock. Secondary succesion - predictable changes in an ecosystem that begins after the original community has been cleared. Starts with soil.
