Front

What organelle is responsible for cell respiration?

Back

Mitochondria

Front

What type of competition occurs when a lion and a cheetah attempt to occupy the same niche, and the more aggressive lion survives?

Back

Density-Dependent: Competition

Front

Which system is responsible for breaking down food?

Back

Digestive System

Front

What is the correct order of the guiding principle of Biology?

Back

DNA to RNA to Proteins

Front

What is the effect of bottleneck events on populations that have nearly become extinct?

Back

Bottleneck events reduce the size of the population and greatly reduce genetic variation.

Front

Define cell respiration.

Back

The process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the role of chloroplasts in plant cells?

Back

Chloroplasts are organelles that conduct photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy.

Front

Explain the concept of genetic diversity.

Back

Genetic diversity refers to the total number of genetic characteristics in the genetic makeup of a species.

Front

What is the founder effect?

Back

The founder effect is a loss of genetic variation that occurs when a new population is established by a very small number of individuals.

Front

What is the difference between density-dependent and density-independent factors?

Back

Density-dependent factors are influenced by population size (e.g., competition), while density-independent factors affect populations regardless of size (e.g., natural disasters).
