percent increase formula - ANSWER (change/original number) x 100%
circumfrence of a circle formula - ANSWER 2 x pie x radius OR diameter x pie
commensal relationship - ANSWER 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 - ANSWER cluster of ribosomes
,notochord - 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.
Flexible Material made out of similar material to carton. If a species has notochord it is
by definition it is a chordate. Ex: fish, birds, mammals
enzymes - ANSWER proteins, typically work best at pH7.2
electron transport chain - ANSWER directly produces the pH gradient by pumping
protons out of the mitochondrial matrix. the proton gradient is used to make ATP.
closed circuit - ANSWER has continuity and allows current to flow in it
as you go from left to right across a period, what happens to electrons - 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 - ANSWER occurs as current flows through a resistance, is a loss of
energy, this energy is generally lost as heat.
what temperature does water at sea level boil - ANSWER 212F, 100C, 373K
logy - ANSWER lethargic, devoid of energy or vitality, mental and physical slowness
gametes - ANSWER sex cells, 23 chromosomes in each of the human sex cells, made of
22 autosomes, 1n, haploid because they have half as many as regular human cells. A
regular cell, not a sex cell has a total of 46 chromosomes in each cell, or a set of 23.
regular cells - ANSWER 2n, or diploid set of 23 chromosomes, or 46 chromosomes
Sexual reproduction made easy - 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 generates 46 chromosomes or diploid then it gives rise to an
embryo which becomes a fetus.
autosomes - 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 possess that are not determinants of the zygotes
gender-the sex cells do this.
Mother has 22 autosomes, and father has 22 which each will donate.
Along with the 22 chromsomes that mom and dad will both donate, 1 more chromosome
needs to be added to make 23 chromosomes total. This is the sex chromsome which will
determine 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 - 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 of the sporangia undergoes meiosis. Ultimately,
we have 4 haploid cells or two diploid cells. A cluster of haploid cells form a
gametophyte. Few such gametophytes obtain the ability to differentiate into gametes.
When a grain of pollen reaches the opening of an ovary, it gives out the sperm which
fertilizes the egg and forms 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 - ANSWER determines genetic code_trait (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 - ANSWER short, abrubt
fawn (v.) - ANSWER act in a servile manner, attempt to please
jeer - ANSWER taunt, ridicule
