One benefits while the other is neither harms or benefites. +/0 relationship polysome - correct answer cluster of ribosomes notochord - correct answer a semi-rigid rod in the dorsal part of all chordates, this remains as a semi-rigid chord, although in highrt chordates it is seen only in the embryo and as a vestigial organ. -a flexible material made out of similar material to cartilage. If a species has notochord it is by definition it is a chordate. Ex: fish, birds, mammals enzymes - correct answer proteins, typically work best at pH7.2 electron transport chain - correct answer directly produces the pH gradient by pumping protons out of the mitochondrial matrix. the proton gradient is used to make ATP. closed circuit - correct answer has continuity and allows current to flow in it as you go from left to right across a period, what happens to electrons - correct answer electrons are added one at a time, the electrons of the outermost shell experience an increasing amount of nuclear attraction becoming closer and more tightly bound to the nucleus. voltage drop - correct answer happens as current passes through a resistance, represents an energy loss, this energy is usually dissipated in the form of heat. what temperature does water at sea level boil - correct answer 212F, 100C, 373K logy - correct answer lethargic, lacking in energy or vitality, mental and physical slowness gametes - correct answer sex cells (sperm and egg), humans have 23 chromosomes in each sex cell (made of 22 autosomes), 1n, haploid because they have half as many as regular human cells. In a regular cell (not sex cell) there is a total of 46 chromosomes in each cell or a set of 23. regular cells - correct answer 2n, or diploid a set of 23 chromosomes or 46 chromosomes sexual reproduction simplified - correct answer a sperm which is haploid (n) with 23 chromosomes combines with an egg which is also haploid (n) with 23 chromosomes to form a zygote (2n) which creates 46 chromosomes or diploid then it forms an embryo which turns into a fetus. autosomes - correct answer In a diploid or 2n human cell there are 46 chromosomes. 2 sex cells (one from mom, one from dad) join with 44 autosomes (23 from mom 23 from dad). Mom and dad have identical cells called autosomes. *These are essentially chromosomes that both mom and dad posess that are not determinants of the zygotes gender (the sex cells do this). Mom has 22 autosomes, and dad has 22 that each will donate. In addition to the 22 chromsomes that mom and dad will both donate, 1 more chromosome has to be added to make 23 chromosomes in total This is the sex chromsome which determines the sex of the baby. These sex cells are not identical like autosomes because there is either an X chromsome or a Y chromsome that can be donated. Mom can donate only an X chromosome. Dad can donate either an X or a Y chromosome. sporophytes and how they reproduce simplified - correct answer sporophyte is just another name for a plant. some sporophytes produce oversized ovaries which presents itself as a fruit. There is a remains of a flower on one end of it. If you cut into the ovary there are fertilized ovules or seeds. Inside of the seed is an embryo or fertilized egg. When we plant a seed we should be able to grow a sporophyte through mitosis. Many sporophytes produce a flower which is diploid (2n). Through meiosis sporophytes (2n) produce spores which are haploid (n). One cell in the sporangia undergoes meiosis. At the end we get 4 haploid cells or two diploid cells. A bunch of haploid cells create a gametophyte. Some of these gametophytes differentiate into gametes. When a grain of pollen reaches the entrance of an ovary, it releases the sperm that fertilizes the egg and creates a zygote or egg. The zygote/egg develops by mitosis into an embyro within an ovule/seed which is inside of an ovary that starts the process all over again. genotype - correct answer determines genetic code (female: XX. male XY) the father is the one that determines what the sex of the child will be because the mom can only donate an X chromosome. terse - correct answer short, abrubt fawn (v.) - correct answer act in a servile manner, attempt to please jeer - correct answer taunt, ridicule query - correct answer question disinterested - correct answer impartial, unbiased pathetic - correct answer sad clandestine - correct answer secret auspicious - correct answer favorable, hopeful, shadows sucess callow - correct answer immature or unsophisticated rankle - correct answer irk, annoy, irritate garrulous - correct answer talkative tactiturn - correct answer quiet magnanimous - correct answer greedy loquacious - correct answer talkative miserly - correct answer thrifty
