, Bacteria cells have what charateristics? Answer: Cell wall, plasma membrane, No
nucleus, No organelles
When the density and atmospheric pressure of the atmosphere decreases, what
happens to the altitude of the atmosphere? Answer: The altitude increases
What is a neurosecretory cell? Answer: A cell that secretes hormones
proto-oncogene Answer: A normal cellular gene corresponding to an oncogene; a gene
with a potential to cause cancer but that requires some alteration to become an
oncogene.
oncogene Answer: Cancer-causing genes that are formed due to mutations
adiabatic cooling Answer: air moves up and expands, causing the temperature to
decrease.
An earthquake that registers an 8 on the Richter scale is how many times more
powerful than one that registers a 5 on the Richter scale? Answer: 1000 times. (The
richter number is actually referring to an exponent of 10. ie 10^8 vs 10^5)
Earthworms belong to the what phylum? Answer: Annelida (segmented worms)
Which person in history can be considered to be the Father of the Modern Scientific

Kingdom? Answer: Kingdom Monera. (Bacteria)
The concept of the processes that we observe today that have been occurring for a long
time is known as Answer: uniformitarianism
What are the three theoretical approaches to learning objectives? Answer: Behavioral,
Cognitive, Constructivist
Hardy-Weinberg Law Answer: A law of population genetics that states that the
frequencies of alleles in a given gene pool do not change over time. 5 things must be
present: there must be no mutation, there must be no migration, there must be no
random mating between individuals in the population, and the population must be large.
