Update 2025-2026 185 Questions and 100%
Verified Correct Answers Guaranteed A+
adaptation - CORRECT ANSWER: any inherited trait that increases an organisms
chance of survival
aerobic - CORRECT ANSWER: respiration that uses oxygen
allele - CORRECT ANSWER: different forms of a gene
anaerobic - CORRECT ANSWER: respiration that does not use oxygen; krebs cycle and
electron transport shuts down, runs on glycolysis
analogous structures - CORRECT ANSWER: superficially similar but result due to
convergent evolution, not common ancestry
example: many animals have wings but are not the same type of structure (bee vs bird)
anaphase I (step 2) - CORRECT ANSWER: spindle fibers move homologous
chromosomes to opposite sides
anaphase II (step 6) - CORRECT ANSWER: chromatids seperate
Animals use oxygen in the process of _____________ and make more CO2. -
CORRECT ANSWER: respiration
ATP structure ***STUDY*** - CORRECT ANSWER:
,before a cell divides, when does it duplicate its DNA - CORRECT ANSWER: S1
carnivores - CORRECT ANSWER: eat herbivores and other animals
carrying capacity - CORRECT ANSWER: max number of individuals in a population that
can be supported in a given area
cell membrane - CORRECT ANSWER: A cell structure that controls which substances
can enter or leave the cell.
cell theory - CORRECT ANSWER: 1. all living things are made of cells
2. basic unit of structure and function in living things
3. new cells are produced from existing cells
cell wall - CORRECT ANSWER: surrounds cell membrane in plants; rigid
Cellular Respiration equation - CORRECT ANSWER: 6O2 + C6H120 -----energy-->
6CO2 + 6H2O
characteristics of simple diffusion - CORRECT ANSWER: - requires no energy (ATP)
- molecules move from area ***HIGH TO LOW*** concentration
characteristics of viruses - CORRECT ANSWER: 1. too small to be seen with a light
microscope
2. capsid surrounds the genetic material
3. contain nucleic acids (DNA or RNA)
4. no nucleus
, 5. do not have membrane bound organelles
6. not a cell; not considered living
7. cannot reproduce by themselves
chloroplast - CORRECT ANSWER: Site of photosynthesis; contains chlorophyll
chromosomes are visible - CORRECT ANSWER: prophase
chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell - CORRECT ANSWER: metaphase
cilia - CORRECT ANSWER: hairlike structures on the outer surface of the cell; used for
movement
codominance - CORRECT ANSWER: A condition in which neither of two alleles of a
gene is dominant or recessive.
codon - CORRECT ANSWER: three consecutive nucleotide on mRNA that specify a
particular amino acid
commensulism - CORRECT ANSWER: one organism benefits while the other is neither
harmed nor helped
community - CORRECT ANSWER: all the interacting populations within an area
consumers - CORRECT ANSWER: cannot create their own energy
crossing over - CORRECT ANSWER: when homologous chromosomes form tetrads in
meiosis 1, they exchange portions of their chromatids in this process
