Everything you need to know about Active Transport: 41) ENDOCYTOSIS is the movement of larger particles INTO the cell by engulfing the object. This process uses energy. 42) EXOCYTOSIS is the movement of larger particles OUT of the cell with the assistance of a vesicle that moves the object to the cell membrane and then releases it outside of the cell. This process uses energy. Solutions 43) HYPOTONIC is a solution where the cell swells as water moves into the cell. 44) HYPERTONIC is a solution where the cell shrinks as water moves out of the cell. 45) ISOTONIC is a solution where the concentration of water inside and outside of the cell is equal. 46) In a hypertonic solution, the concentration of water outside the cell is GREATER OR LESSER than inside. (circle one) 47) In a hypotonic solution, the concentration of water outside the cell is GREATER OR LESSER than inside the cell. (circle one) 48) If the concentration of water in a solution is 30%, then the concentration of particles in that solution must be 70%. 49) A cell is in a solution. Will the water move INTO or OUT of the cell if the particle concentration outside the cell is higher than the particle concentration inside the cell? Photosynthesis / Respiration / Fermentation 50) The formula for Photosynthesis is: SUN’S ENERGY+ CARBON DIOXIDE + WATER GLUCOSE+ OXYGEN 51) The formula for Respiration is: GLUCOSE +OXYGEN CARBON DIOXIDE +WATER + ATP ENERGY 52) What cellular process turns food into energy?

PHOTOSYNTHESIS 54) Cellular respiration takes place in the cells MITOCHONDRIA organelle. 55) Photosynthesis takes place in the cells CHOLORPLAST organelle. 56) FERMENTATION is the processes of turning food into energy (respiration) without the presence of oxygen. Cell Division 57) MITOSIS is the name of cell division for body cells. 58) MEIOSIS is the name of cell division for sperm and egg cells. 59) If a body cell starts out with 24 chromosomes, each of the 2 cells created after MITOSIS will have 24 chromosomes. 60) If a sperm or egg cell starts out with 36 chromosomes, each of the 4 cells created after MEIOSIS will have 18 chromosomes.

These are then bred in hopes that the offspring will inherit each desirable trait. 75) Genetic Engineering is taking a slice of DNA out of one cell and placing it into the DNA of another cell. 76) Cloning is the process of removing the nucleus of an egg cell, then placing the DNA from one cell of a donor organism, then allowing the egg cell to divide and create an organism that is identical to the donor organism. Evolution 77) Darwin studied the finches/adaptations in the Galapagos islands. 78) Explain the “Survival of the Fittest” theory in your own words: Organisms most suited or most fit to their environments will survive. 79) Explain the process of how the population of Peppered Moths of England changed from light to dark during the Industrial Revolution: Prior to the Industrial Revolution there were more white colored moths because they blended into the environment better than the dark colored moths. The dark moths were less abundant because their predators could find them. After the Industrial Revolution soot covered the landscape and the white colored moths didn’t blend in to their environment anymore so their predators could find them. 80) Most fossils are found in sedimentary rock. 81) What percentage of a radioactive sample is left after 3 half-lives? 12.5 % 82) Fill out the half-life table: Half-Life 0 1 2 3 4 % Unstable 100% 50% 25% 12.5% 6.25% Ecology 83) Carnivore eats only animals 84) Omnivore eats animals and plants 85) Herbivore eats only plants 86) In a food web, a producer turns the suns energy into food. 87) In a food web, a primary consumer eats the producer. 88) In a food web, a secondary consumer eats the primary consumer. 89) In a food web, a decomposer breaks down the dead things. 90) Explain the difference between a scavenger and a decomposer. A decomposer breaks down dead organisms and returns the nutrients to the earth whereas a scavenger feeds off the carcass of dead animals. 91) Energy levels in a food chain or energy pyramid are called trophic levels. 92) Make a food pyramid from the food chain below: Fox goes on the top, then the snake, next the mouse and the grass is on the bottom. 93) Which organism in the above pyramid has the least available energy? fox 94) Which organism is most abundant in the above food chain? grass 95) 10 % of energy is passed along to each level in a food chain. 90% of energy that is consumed at each level. 96) A limiting factor is something that: - limits the size of a population in an area - causes a population to go down Interactions among organisms: 97) Predation refers to the Predator-Prey relationship. 98) In a Predator-Prey relationship the prey is eaten by the predator. 99) Adaptations are traits that help a predator catch prey <or> help a prey avoid capture. 100) Mimicry is an adaptation where the prey looks like something that is dangerous, fierce or poisonous. 101) Symbiosis relationships are two organisms living together. 102) Mutualism is when both organisms benefit. 103) Commensalism is when one organism benefits and the other is not helped or hurt. 104) Parasitism is when one organism benefits and the other is hurt.
