BHS Remediation Assignment (Biology Sem.1 Review)

Front

What is carrying capacity in an ecosystem?

Back

The maximum number of individuals of a particular species that an environment can support sustainably without degrading the habitat.

Front

What factors can increase the carrying capacity of an ecosystem?

Back

Factors such as an increase in available food, water, and shelter can increase the carrying capacity.

Front

What is homeostasis in biological systems?

Back

Homeostasis is the process by which living organisms regulate their internal environment to maintain stable, constant conditions.

Front

How do cells maintain homeostasis?

Back

Cells maintain homeostasis by regulating what enters and leaves the cell through the cell membrane.

Front

What are the main types of biological macromolecules?

Back

The main types are carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids.

Front

What are lipids and their functions?

Back

Lipids are a group of hydrophobic molecules that include fats, oils, and waxes. They store energy, provide insulation, and make up cell membranes.

Front

What is the structure of proteins?

Back

Proteins are made up of amino acids linked by peptide bonds, and they have complex structures that determine their function.

Front

What is the role of carbohydrates in living organisms?

Back

Carbohydrates provide energy and serve as structural components in cells.

Front

What is the significance of the cell cycle?

Back

The cell cycle is crucial for growth, development, and repair in organisms, allowing cells to divide and reproduce.

Front

What are the stages of cell division?

Back

The stages of cell division include interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
