  • Autotrophs = organisms that are able to automatically make their own food (energy), also known as producers, they perform photosynthesis or chemosynthesis (ex: plants,

    bacteria)

  • Heterotrophs = organisms that must consume other organisms to gain energy, also known as consumers (ex: animals)

Autotroph vs. Heterotroph

33

Carrying capacity - The maximum amount of organisms that can an ecosystem can hold given the resources it has​

Limiting factors - decrease carrying capacity ​

​Ch. 3-7 - Ecology

Carrying Capacity & Limiting Factors

media

34

  • ​Density dependent limiting factors: Number of organisms in the environment DOES influence the effect of the factor.

    • Examples: Competition, Disease, Water/food resources

  • Density dependent limiting factors: Number of organisms in the environment DO NOT influence the effect of the factor.

    • Examples: Natural disasters

​Ch. 3-7 - Ecology

Ecological Succession

  • Succession is a series of progressive changes in the composition of an ecological community over time.

  • In primary succession, newly exposed or newly formed rock is colonized by living things for the first time.

  • In secondary succession, an area previously occupied by living things is disturbed—disrupted—then recolonized following the disturbance.

Cell Division

  • In mitosis, chromosomes are separated and create 2 identical diploid daughter cells (body cells)

    Diploid = all the DNA (think double)

    In meiosis, homologous chromosomes in a diploid cell separate and creates 4 genetically unique haploid daughter cells (gametes/reproductive cells)

ADP vs. ATP

  • ADP = adenosine diphosphate (2 phosphate groups) (dead battery)

  • ATP = adenosine triphosphate (3 phosphate groups) (full battery)

  • When ATP is converted into ADP + Pi, energy is released and used by the cell.

  • It is the release of the 3rd phosphate group in ATP that gives the cell the energy it needs. ADP then needs to gain back the 3rd phosphate group to turn into ATP and store the energy.

75

​Ch. 8-11 - Cells, Cellular Energy & Cell Division

Photosynthesis

  • Reactants = light, water, CO2 (carbon dioxide)

    Products = O2 (oxygen), glucose

    Remember: it is the opposite of cellular respiration

  • 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6

​Ch. 12 - Intro to Genetics

Genotype vs. Phenotype

  • Genotype: the genetic makeup of an organism (ex: BB, Bb, bb)

  • Phenotype: the physical characteristics of the organism as a result of the genotype (ex:

    brown hair, green eyes)

media

93

​Ch. 12 - Intro to Genetics

Genotypes & Their Effect on Phenotype

  • BB = homozygous dominant, phenotype will show dominant trait

    Bb = heterozygous, phenotype will show dominant trait since at least 1 dominant allele* is present

    bb = homozygous recessive, phenotype will show the recessive trait

media

​*Definition of allele - the different variations of genes that will make up the genotype.

94

​Ch. 12 - Intro to Genetics

Forms of Inheritance

  • ​Codominance - When neither of the alleles are dominant over the other. They are BOTH dominate so both appear in the phenotype (ex: white dog with black spots)

  • Genotype would look like: BW (you use the 2 big letter alleles for both genes)
