is this

The common term for “differential reproductive

advantage” within a population

This is required for growth, repair, and metabolism in

heterotrophs

In a test to determine the effect of wavelength on photosynthesis,

photosynthesis is the __________ variable.

Carbon will form this many covalent bonds

one that occurs between cytosine and guanine, is this

The formula C254H377N65O75S6 is most likely this organic

macromolecule

Functional group transfer of the phosphate group of this

nucleic acid is used to change the shape and functionality of

molecules like protein channels or enzymes.

Enzymes catalyze reactions by decreasing this

The process where substances move from an area of high

concentration to an area of low concentration

If a toxin, such as a bacterial toxin, destroys ribosomes, this will be the cellular activity first

affected

This is the organelle involved with packaging materials for

export

With a high concentration of chloride ion on the outside of

the cell and a low concentration on the inside, it will enter the

cell by this process.

This is the Theory that chloroplasts and mitochondria were once autonomous cells

before they were incorporated into eukaryotic cells

This is the location of glycolysis in cells

which will be translated into a particular amino acid

This refers to the fact that most amino acids are coded for by more

than one codon
