Percent Error
Difference between a measured value and a known value.
Used to report the difference between a measured or experimental value and a true or exact value.
Organic Compounds
Compounds that contain carbon, hydrogen and usually
oxygenFrequently contains N, S, P
Organic Chemistry
C forms 4 bonds H forms 1 bond O forms 2 bonds H is more plentiful than C because of the
bonding EX: CH4

Progress of the reaction
It prevents wastes, which would cause problems, from accumulating. It assures that the ecosystem will not run out of essential elements.
All organisms are made of roughly the same organic
molecules in similar proportions
A measure of their dry weight is a rough measure of the
energy they contain.
BiomassA census of the population, multiplied by the weight of an
average individual in itGives an estimate of the weight of the population.

Biomagnification The increase of the concentration of a substance that occurs in the food chain.
Substances - pesticides or heavy metals The substances become concentrated in
tissues or internal organs because the substances are very slowly metabolized
or excreted.
Eutrophication
Occurs when a body of water acquires a high concentration of nutrients (phosphates and
nitrates). This increases amount of algae in water.
As the algae die/decompose, high levels of organic matter and the decomposing
organisms deplete the oxygen from the water. This causes the death of other organisms
(fish).
Greenhouse Gases Carbon Dioxide – fossil fuels, solid waste,
trees Methane – production and transportation of
coal, natural gas, and oil Nitrous Oxide – agricultural and industrial Fluorinated gases – industrial, commercial,
and household uses
Ozone Layer
•Ozone - 0₃ - naturally occurring in the stratosphere
•Ozone layer - Protects earth from ultra violet rays
•CFC’s –– destroy ozone by releasing chlorine into the atmosphere
Atmospheric CO2 is reflecting heat back down to the planet’s surface.
Only by phasing out coal use, ending deforestation and reducing the use of other fossil fuels can the numbers be
reversed.
Deforestation Removal of a forest/trees where the land is
thereafter converted to a non-forest use Trees may be cut down to be used or sold as fuel Cleared land is used as pasture for livestock,
plantations of commodities and settlements. Results in damage to habitat and loss of
biodiversity. It has adverse impacts on using of atmospheric
CO2, causing a buildup.
Greenhouse EffectCar in summer
Greenhouse gases absorb some the energy radiated from the earth and
trap it in the atmosphere.Human activities have INCREASED
the amount of greenhouse gases
Animal: Heterotrophs – consume food
Plants: Autotrophs – make their own food
Fungus: Heterotrophs/ Decomposers – absorb food
Organelles Nucleus: Control center ER: Transportation center Rough ER: Helps make protein Smooth ER: Breaks down toxins Golgi: Packaging and shipping Mitochondria: Power House, ATP Vacuole: Store water nutrients and waste
Organelles Lysosome: Recycling center Cytoskeleton: Support and movement Ribosomes: Makes protein Cytoplasm: Bathes organelles
PhotosynthesisGreen plants and algae use the
solar energy and molecules of CO2 into sugar/starch and 02.
CO2 + H20 C6H12O6 + O2
Primary Productivity
is the production of organic compounds from atmospheric
or aquatic CO2 through the process of photosynthesis
Cellular Respiration
Occurs primarily in the mitochondriaAerobic breakdown of glucose into
CO2 and H20
C6H12O6 + O2 CO2 + H20 + energy
MeiosisOccurs in plants and animals
that reproduce sexually.Usually occurs in specialized
sex organs - Ovaries, Testes
Haploid Found in gametes
n=? Cells formed in meiosis
Diploid Found in somatic cells
Fertilized egg 2n =?
Cells formed in Mitosis
Principle of Independent Assortment
The inheritance of alleles for one trait does not affect
the inheritance of alleles for another trait
Principle of Segregation
2.For each characteristic, an individual carries 2 factors, one inherited from each
parent
Principle of Segregation
3.The 2 factors of each pair segregate
from each other and end up in gametes
Frederick Griffith - studying 2 strains of bacteria
1 causes pneumonia, 1 harmless When killed pathogenic bacteria and mixed
with living healthy bacteria - some converted Martha Chase and Alfred Hershey - showed that
DNA was genetic material Used radio isotopes to label DNA and protein
in Phage T2 and ecoli cells Sulfer - protein Phosphate - DNA
Nuclear Transplantation: replaces the nucleus of an egg cell or a zygote with a nucleus of an adult
somatic cell Cells divides creates blastocyst
Reproductive Cloning: If animal is a mammal, the blastocyst is implanted into uterus for further
development Therapeutic Cloning: Produce embryonic stem
cells for therapeutic treatments
Cloning
Combining genes from different sources into a single DNA
moleculeCan use different species
Often uses plasmids
Recombinant DNA Technology
Polymerase Chain ReactionDNA is copied many times in a
test tube.Process can generate 100 billion
copies of DNA in 4 hours
PCR
Human Genome Project
The main goals were to provide a complete and accurate sequence of the 3 billion DNA base pairs that make up the human genome and to find all of the estimated 20,000 to 25,000 human genes.
Adaptation
Product of Natural SelectionChange usually is caused by
mutationStructures or behaviors that make
efficient use of environment
Selection
Natural Survival of the
fittest Those with the best adaptations,
survive and reproduce
Artificial Done by us
Typically done by breeders or geneticists
Select desirable traits and breed those individuals with
those traits
Allopatric Speciation
Speciation due to being separated by a geographic
barrier
Sympatric Speciation
New species develop without geographic isolation
Formation of a new species as a result of a genetic change that produces reproductive barriers
Mostly in plants
Parapatric Speciation
Speciation that occurs due to variations in the mating habits
or rituals of a population within a continuous geographical area.
Punctuated Equilibrium
Abrupt Changes in species within very long periods of equillibrium
Evolutionary changes happens radidly
Trilobites, some dinosaurs
Divergent Evolution
The process by which an interbreeding population or species diverges into two or more descendant species.
Occurs when a group from a specific population develops into a new species
Ex: Human foot vs Monkey foot
Protein Synthesis DNA: Made in nucleus, double stranded, A-T, G -C RNA: 3 types, single stranded, A,U,G,C
mRNA: Messenger RNA, made in nucleus according to DNA (DNA: ATGC mRNA: UACG)
tRNA: Brings amino acids to ribosome based on mRNA mRNA: AUG tRNA brings in Methionine
rRNA: Holds ribosome together Transcription: Process of making mRNA Translation: Process of making a polypeptide
MutationsChange in DNA sequence
Can change phenotype
Can be passed down to future generations
X – Rays can cause
Genetic Problems
Monohybrid Cross: Cross involving 1 trait Dihybrid Cross: Cross involving 2 traits Incomplete Dominance: Blending of
phenotypes Codominance: Shared dominance; blood
type AB Sex Linked: On X chromosome; more
