UIUC IB 150 CERTIFICATION
EVALUATION FULL QUESTIONS
WITH SOLUTIONS
◉ 10% rule. Answer: The transfer of biomass from a lower tropic
level to the next higher one in which 10% of the biomass gained is
stored as energy.
◉ Abiotic. Answer: Anything non-living.
◉ Activation energy. Answer: energy that is required for an
endergonic reaction to occur.
◉ Active site. Answer: Location in an enzyme where substrates bind
and react with one another.
◉ Alternative hypothesis. Answer: Specifies what should be
observed when the claim is correct.
◉ ATP. Answer: Energy storing molecule, a ribose sugar, and three
phosphate groups; energy is stored on the molecule's chemical
bonds and can be used quickly and easily by cells.
, ◉ ADP. Answer: The releasing of a phosphate group from ATP;
results in a release of energy that is used for biological reactions.
◉ ATP synthase. Answer: An important enzyme in the inner
mitochondrial membrane the coverts ADP and Pi to ATP.
◉ Biotic. Answer: Anything that is considered alive.
◉ Birth rate. Answer: The rate of offspring being produced. When
subtracted by the death rate, the r value (per capita rate of increase)
is the difference.
◉ Calvin cycle. Answer: Part of the photosynthesis process in which
Carbon Dioxide, ATP, and NADPH are used to output G3P, ADP,
NADP+, and Pi. RuBP is recycled within the process. When the
process is done twice, glucose is made. Takes place in the storm of
chloroplasts.
◉ Carbon fixation. Answer: The process in which Carbon Dioxide is
covered to an organic molecule. An example is the reaction with it
and RuBP in the Calvin cycle to create 2 molecules of 3PGA.
◉ Carrying capacity. Answer: The total amount of organisms a
region can support. Represented as K.
