3) Susie wondered if the height of a hole punched in the side of a quart-size milk carton would affect how far from the container a liquid would spurt when the carton was full of the liquid. She used 4 identical cartons and punched the same size hole into each. Susie recorded her results in the chart below.

|Height of hole |Distance liquid spurts from the |

|punched in container (cm) |container (cm) |

|5 |10 |

|10 |20 |

The polarity of the phospholipids that form the membrane is the primary mechanism that determine what can go through. Small, non-polar molecules (like oxygen and carbon dioxide) are free to move through the membrane, whereas polar (like water) or large molecules (like proteins) need to be “ushered” through transport or channel proteins, sometimes requiring energy, but sometimes not.

151) Describe what is happening in graph 1. Explain why?

As light intensity increases, rate of photosynthesis increase ; the more photon exposed to, the more ATP and NADPH can be made ( therefore leading to more glucose in the dark reactions

152) Describe what is happening in graph 2. Explain why?

As temperature increases, so does the rate of photosynthesis…. To a point! After about 25o Celsius, temperature has a negative effect on the rate of photosynthesis.

Ecology

153) List the levels of organization from smallest to largest. Understand the differences. Organism (one individual) ( population (more than one of the same species) ( Community (one species and all the living things it interacts with) ( Ecosystem (All the living and non-living things that interact) ( Biosphere (whole earth basically)

154) What is a biome?

Geographical areas that share the same climate, vegetation, and wildlife

155) What defines different biomes?

Temperature, rainfall, amount of sunlight, similar plants, similar animals, etc

156) What is the difference between primary and secondary succession?

Primary ( initial build of soil, followed by life

Secondary ( already a soil base so just a return of life (usually after a fire)

157) In primary succession what is the first species to start to grow? Why?

Lichens ; they can build a soil base by growing on rock, hard lava, etc

158) What is a symbiotic relationship?

A relationship between TWO living organisms

159) Compare and Contrast Mutualism, Commensalisms, and parasitism.

Mutualism – Both benefit (+. +)

Commensalism – One benefit and the other is neither harmed nor helped (+, O)

Parasitism – One is harmed while the other benefits (+. -)

160) What factors influence the growth of human population?

Available resources, economic status, health & nutrition, medical development, etc

161) What is the difference between density dependent factors and density independent factors?

density dependent – changes due to the density of the population, i.e. available resources (water, food, shelter)

density independent – Changes that occur independently of population density ( i.e. weather patterns, other natural disasters)

162) Compare and contrast exponential growth to logistical growth. Draw a graph to represent each.

Exponential growth – rapid, consistent growth

Logistic – includes a period of exponential growth, but then levels out about carrying capacity

[pic]

Exponential growth Logistic growth (more “logical”/“realistic”)

163) What happens if a population exceeds the carrying capacity?

Typically will crash due to overpopulation leading to major competition – resources deplete very quickly and many die off or move away

164) What is the relationship between population and resources?

The lower the population = more resources

The larger the population = more competition / lack of resources

Above is a population pyramid. Spend some time and read the graph then answer the following question.

165) Describe what is happening in each of the population pyramids.

Kenya – rapid growth due to highest % age groups being ages 0 -20ish

US – fairly steady growth rate as most ag groups are about the same % of the population

Italy – Growth has slowed, due to lower % of ages 0-20

166) As a population gets older, what type of jobs will be in high demand?

Nurses; home care takers, nursing home attendants

167) What is the relationship between predators and prey?

Predators eat prey

168) What are the parts of the water cycle?

a) Carbon Cycle -

b) Nitrogen Cycle-

169) How is a food web different from a food chain?

Food chain – one linear flow of energy

Food web – ALL possible flows of energy through a community

170) What happens to the energy level as you go from one trophic level to the next?

90% is lost, therefore 10% is passed on

171) What is binomial nomenclature?

A way to classify living organisms

172) What are the levels of naming?

Kindom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species

173) What are the six kingdoms?

1 - Eubacteria / Archae bacteria = MONERA (also classified as ONE kingdom)

2 – Protista (protists – microscopic single or multicellular eukaryotes)

3 – Fungi (fungus – i.e. mushrooms)

4 – Plantae (plants)

5 – Animalia (Animals)

174) How are the kingdoms different?

1 - Eubacteria / Archae bacteria = prokaryotes; asexual; single-celled

2 – Protista = eukaryotes; single or multicellular ; asexual , gains energy in many ways

3 – Fungi = eukaryotes, multicellular, use spores to reproduce either asexual or sexual, gain energy through absorbing it from soil or other organisms

4 – Plantae = eukaryotes, multicellular, gain energy through photosynthesis

5 – Animalia = eukaryotes, multicellular, gain energy by EATING, sexual

175) What are the characteristics that all animals have?

(see above – number 24)

176) What are the 9 phylum of animals and what does each phylum mean what is an example organism?

|Name of Phylum |Meaning of the Name |Example organism |

|Porifera |Pores |Sponges |

|Cnidaria |Stinging-cells |Jellyfish |

|Platyhelminthes |Flatworms |Tapeworm |

|Nematoda |Thread-like |Roundworms (many parasites) |

|Annelida |Little rings |Earth worm |

|Mollusca |Soft-bodied |Octopus |

|Echinodermata |Spiny-skinned |Starfish |

|Arthropoda |Jointed foot |Lobster |

|Chordata |With a cord |Human |
