whimsical - ANS playful, opposite of grim or grave
penitent - ANS person who tends to regret
querulous - ANS habitually whining person, tends to complain or argue over minor details
virtuouso - ANS having great skill, opposite of incompetent
mutable - ANS prone to change (think of a mutation or an abnormal change)
antediluvial - ANS before a flood
diluvial - ANS having to do with a flood
,legislate - ANS mandate throught the creation of laws
prattle - ANS talk aimlessly or idly
erroneous - ANS mistake (err-think error)
ominous - ANS predicts or foreshadows disaster
unguent - ANS ointment used to soothe or heal, opposite of irritant
orator - ANS public speaker who needs to be able to articulate
exculpate - ANS clear from blame
ravenous - ANS extremely hungry
supplicant - ANS humble begger has humility
maven - ANS expert, has expertise
insidious - ANS something that spreads harmfully in a subtle or stealthy manner
cede - ANS yield, give up, transfer title to someone else
,eschew - ANS forbid, shun, abatain from, avoid it
proscribe - ANS forbid or prohibit as harmful
percent increase formula - ANS (change/original number) x 100%
circumfrence of a circle formula - ANS 2 x pie x radius OR diameter x pie
commensal relationship - ANS form of a symbiotic relationship, two organisms live in close association
with each other. One benefits while the other is neither harms or benefites. +/0 relationship
polysome - ANS cluster of ribosomes
notochord - ANS 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 - ANS proteins, typically work best at pH7.2
electron transport chain - ANS directly produces the pH gradient by pumping protons out of the
mitochondrial matrix. the proton gradient is used to make ATP.
closed circuit - ANS has continuity and allows current to flow in it
as you go from left to right across a period, what happens to electrons - ANS 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 - ANS 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 - ANS 212F, 100C, 373K
logy - ANS lethargic, lacking in energy or vitality, mental and physical slowness
gametes - ANS 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 - ANS 2n, or diploid a set of 23 chromosomes or 46 chromosomes
sexual reproduction simplified - ANS 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 - ANS 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 - ANS 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
