\ Chapter 23 Reading guide 1. what is the smallest unit of evolution and why is this important to understand? The population is the smallest unit of evolution . This is important to understand because it keeps clear what is evolving. 2. Define the following terms: a. Microevolution: evolutionary change below the species level; change in the genetic makeup of a population from generation to generation. It is evolutionary change on its smallest scale b. Population: a localized group

Ecology ➢ Climate is weather conditions of a region like temperature‚ humidity‚ precipitation‚ sunlight pressure‚ winds‚ throughout the year over a period of time ➢ Ecology – is the study of the interactions between organisms and the environment ➢ Abiotic factors –temperature and water ➢ Microclimate – a classification at the small scale variation ➢ Dispersal – movement away fro origin ➢ Macroclimate – a classification at the global and regional level

4A- The hypothesis was partially supported because glucose left the bag and is proven by the positive test on the surrounding water. Also the beaker turned orange because of osmosis which attests to glucose leaving the bag. Iodine Potassium Iodine and water entered the bag. This was proven by the color change in the starch test as the bag turned black also because of osmosis. The only thing that the hypothesis lacked was that starch did not move at all. The beaker stayed yellow before and after because

Energy and Metabolism Chapter 6 Energy and Metabolism • Organisms require the constant input of free energy and matter for growth‚ reproduction‚ and maintenance of living systems • Life requires a highly ordered system ▫ What is free energy? Energy available to do work in any system G What other types of energies do cells use? • Potential ▫ Stored energy ▫ Chemical • Kinetic ▫ Energy of motion Thermal Energy • • • • All forms of energy can be converted to heat Thermodynamics

Hypothesis 1: It was hypothesized that the growth and seed pod production in the standard plants would increase when less competitors were present and that growth would be more affected by competition than seed pod production would be. The data in Figure 1 and Figure 2 support this hypothesis; the standard plant grew the most when it was in a container alone and‚ on average‚ produced more seeds when no competitors were present (Figure 1). Though growth and seed pod production had similar trends

Ben Milam January 29‚ 2013 A.P. Biology Chapter 29 “Do You Understand” Questions Chapter 29.1: 1) The roles of the blood plasma and the interstitial fluid in serving the needs of the body are to exchange materials and nutrients with the cells it surrounds. These two extracellular fluids interrelate because the plasma is 20% of all extracellular fluid and the interstitial fluid is the remaining 80%. 2) A) Epithelial tissues are sheets of densely packed‚ interconnected epithelial cells

Plant Pigments and Photosynthesis Problem: We are going to separate and identify pigments and other molecules from cell extracts through a process called chromatography. We will also test the theory that light and chloroplasts are required for light reactions to occur. Background: Pigments are chemical compounds which reflect only certain wavelengths of visible light. This is what makes them seem colorful. Many things contain pigments including flowers‚ corals‚ and even skin. More important than

Question: Why would sensing and responding to vinegar be important to an organism? -It could train them to respond to certain smells and respond in a certain way. How would natural selection affect an organism’s ability to sense and respond to this stimulus? -The organism depends on its ability to sense and respond. The organisms could compete for water or hydration. What other types of stimuli would be important for the organism to respond to? - An organism that is used to light is

Book Write Up The novel Your Inner Fish‚ by Neil Shubin‚ shows profound knowledge of evolution in the origins of the humans. Shubin writes enthusiastic chapters that specify major organs of general life on earth‚ ranging from aquatic life like sharks to terrestrial animals such as mice. Shubin skillfully explains complex connections to us humans to other present animals with evidence‚ in fossils‚ that show evolution throughout millions‚ even billions of years. How did we inherit all those
