    towards, gas or air pressure
  5. An organism whose body temperature ______ with the outside environment is called an ______ or ______. Its metabolic rate (increases/decreases) as temperature increased.
    ectotherm or poikilotherm, increases
  6. An organism who is able to maintain a stable body temperature regardless of the environmental temperature is called an ______ or _______. Its metabolic rate (increases/decreases) as temperature increases.
    endotherm or homeotherm, decreases
  7. What is the reaction for photosyntheses?
    Carbon dioxide + water --> glucose + oxygen
  8. Which type of energy is used in this reaction?
    Sunlight energy
  9. What absorbs sunlight energy?
    Chlorophyll
  10. After carbon dioxide was blown into the test tube, what color was the bromothymol blue solution?
    Yellow
  11. Why did the color change yellow after the carbon dioxide was blown into the solution?
    The solution became acidic due to the production of carbonic acid.
  12. As photosynthesis occurred, the color changed to ____ because
    blue; carbon dioxide was being used by the plant for photosynthesis so the environment was becoming more alkaline
  13. A spectrophotometer measures
    absorption of light wavelengths
  14. Paper chromatography seperates pigments on the basis of which 3 properties?
    • a) molecular weight
    • b) solubility in the solvent
    • c) affinity for the chromatography paper
  15. What color does carotenes represent?
    Bright yellow
  16. What color does xanthophyll represent?
    Yellow
  17. What color does chlorophyll a represent?
    blue-green
  18. What color does chlorophyll b represent?
    yellow-green
  19. How many daughter cells are produced by mitosis?
    2
  20. How does the number of chromosomes in each daughter cell compare with the number of chromosomes in the orginal parent cell after mitosis?
    Same number and type of chromosomes
  21. When are chromosome replicated?
    During interphase
  22. During cytokinesis plant cells form a ____ _____ while animal cells form a _____ ______.
    cell plate, cleavage furrow
  23. What does PCR allow scientists to do in a relatively short amount of time?

  25. What happens to the template DNA when it is heated to 95 degrees?
    The double strand melts to single stranded DNA
  26. What does "anneal" mean?
    The reformation of double stranded DNA from thermally denatured DNA
  27. What is annealed to each of the DNA strands?
    The primers bind to the single strand created in the previous PCR step

    segregation
  33. What is the law of independent Assortment
    homologus chromosomes and the respective alleles segregate independently during meiosis and end up in different gametes
