Speed Match Review Game

This game has been played times
The best time ever was at seconds.
The best time today is at seconds.
How To Play:
Drag the squares in the gray area and drop them in the matching squares in the blue area below.
If you drop a square in the correct spot, it will disappear.
If you make a mistake, the square will return to its original spot.
Good luck!

Let's Play Speed Match!

Fossils
carbon dioxide (CO2) + water (H2O) --> glucose (C6H12O6) + oxygen (O2)
Homologous structures, similar DNA sequences, similar embryology, biogeography, fossils
To reduce chromosome number for fertilization
glucose (C6H12O6) + oxygen (O2) --> carbon dioxide (CO2) + water (H2O) + ATP
Mitosis and/or cell cycle
Overproduction, Variation, Competition, Survival of the fittest
Many possible answers
A stable resting state in an organism
G1: growth; S: DNA synthesis; G2: growth; Mitosis: split nucleus; Cytokinesis: split cytoplasm
DNA--transcription-->mRNA--translation-->protein
Organisms of the same species in the same place for populations; groups of populations are communitites
Archaebacteria and Eubacteria
Many answers; the stimulus is reversed
Different sugar, T in DNA, U in RNA, and DNA is double stranded
0.1%
Water cycle, Carbon cycle, Nitrogen cycle
Protein: amino acid/polypeptide; Lipid: Fatty acid or tryglyceride/fat; Carbs: monosaccharide/polysaccharide; Nucleic Acids: nucleotide/nucleic acid
Parasitism: +/- Mutualism: +/+ Commensalism: +/0
They do not have organelles and require a host cell for reproduction
Ground: support and photosynthesis; Vascular: transport; Dermal: protection
100%; 50%
Thick cuticle, reduced leaves, extensive roots, water storage systems
Categorizing organism; in order to have a universal system of nomenclature
They lower the energy of activation, speeding up reactions

Give the monomers and polymers for each of the 4 biological macromolecules
Briefly explain these symbiotic relationships: parasitism, mutualism, commensalism.
What is the relationship between the following: population, organism, community
In the genetic cross TTxTt, what percentage of the offspring would be tall? What percentage would be heterozygous?
What is the most important evidence we have that evolution happens?
