  1. 4. Describes the amount of water/fluid in a cell moreover the rigidity of cells, typically due to the amount of fluid absorbed
  2. 8. An organism known to be __ if it bears modified DNA that has been intentionally introduced through genetic engineering.
  3. 9. A means by which excess water from the plant body is removed
  4. 11. Survival ability of certain species to adjust their development in response to environmental cues.
  5. 12. The first and key enzyme in the fixation of atmospheric CO2 during the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis
  6. 15. Nonrandom mating between individuals of shared ancestry that leads to increased homozygosity and may cause the expression of harmful, recessive genes.
  7. 16. Adaptation during cold weather since it protects them from freezing and enables them to carry on with their regular activities at low temperatures. Creative hint: _____man-BD
  8. 18. Organisms that are unable to self-regulate their body temperatures, but instead adapt to their environment’s temperature.
  9. 19. Pores in leaves that primarily function in gas exchange between the plant and the environment. It also plays a role in facilitating photosynthesis. Creative hint: leaf : house/room, ______ : door
  10. 20. Animals can conserve energy enabling them to survive extreme environmental conditions by staying dormant for a period of time.
Down
  1. 1. Distinct populations exhibiting phenotypic differences due to physiological adaptations to their local environments.
  2. 2. A type of selection wherein individuals exhibiting extreme values of a certain phenotype are considered more fit compared to individuals near the population mean.
  3. 3. Range of temperatures wherein an organism can perform metabolic activities without consuming too much energy.
  4. 5. Pattern of phenotypes expressed by a single genotype under varying environmental conditions.
  5. 6. Occurs when plants that are acclimated to a deeply shaded environment are exposed to excessive light, which lowers their ability to perform photosynthesis.
  6. 7. A process in photosynthesis that produces glucose in the chloroplast stroma by converting carbon dioxide and hydrogen-carrying molecules
  7. 10. A quantifiable variation in a certain phenotypic character over a gradient of an environmental condition.
  8. 13. Finding a sustainable environment suitable for the survival of an organism.
  9. 14. Reproductive Success.
  10. 17. Regulates the organism from the environmental factors including the temperature, humidity, and air quality interacting with it by surrounding the organism's/ earth's surface.
