AP Biology Terminology
Across
- 3. number of trophic levels and the reason/ 4-2nd law of thermodynamics (hint: 8 words)
- 4. recessive alleles that cause defective protein
- 6. fibrosis/ recessive allele (need two bad copies) to get (hint: 2 words)
- 9. behaviors performed reasonably complete form from the first time an animal of an appropriate age encounters the stimulus
- 11. raises blood sugar
- 12. syndrome/ trisomy of chromosome 21 (hint: 2 words)
- 15. polymerase/ enzymes involved in replication that adds complementary nucleotides and proofreads DNA
- 17. increases metabolism, constricts blood vessels, increases respiration-Fight or Flight response
- 18. Rot growth and germination
- 20. promotes uterine lining growth
- 24. vs learned behavior/ innate behaviors are largely genetically controlled and exhibit by the species (nature). learned behaviors are gained through experience (nurture). (hint: 4 words)
- 25. excites skelatal muscles-neurotransmitter
- 27. lowers blood sugar
- 29. sachs/ autosomal recessive (hint: 2 words)
- 31. progressive mutation
- 32. class of enzymes involved in phosphorylation
- 34. Acid/ Inhibits growth, seed dormancy, closes stomata (hint: 2 words)
- 35. cell anemia/ single nucleotide substitution causes incorrect amino acid in hemoglobin protein (hint: 3 words)
- 36. stimulates contraction of uterus
- 40. biological rhythms; clock
- 41. stem elongation, development of fruit and phototropism
- 42. that limit growth of a population/ habitat, food resources, shelter, predation, competition. (hint: 6 words)
Down
- 1. promotes food ripening and aging of flowers
- 2. colors, patterns and shapes to resemble surrounding
- 3. mosquito spread disease caused by protozoa (protista)
- 5. a species ressembles another that possesses a warning color (ex coral snake vs king snake or bees, hornets and yellow jackets)
- 7. behavior that includes both innate and learned actions-young geese following their mother.
- 8. "glues" the nucleotides on the lagging strand during replication
- 10. maintains metabolism
- 13. loss of response to stimuli if it does not cause consequence (crying wolf-you stop believing what is said because it was never true in the past)
- 14. rapid growth in response to sunlight detected when shoot breaks through soil (phytochromes)
- 15. muscular dystrophy/ x-linked recessive (hint: 3 words)
- 16. molecules that sense and respond to light to control greening and growth
- 19. promotes seed germination
- 21. primase/ enzyme responsible for transcribing the DNA strand to RNA (hint: 2 words)
- 22. and error/ aquire new and appropriate responses to stimuli through experience (hint: 3 words)
- 23. sum of a species use of biotic and abiotic resources (think of its habitat as its address and the niche as the profession)
- 25. programmed cell death
- 26. close interaction between organisms of different species over extended times.
- 28. a protein used to keep the helix apart during replication
- 30. stimulates milk production
- 33. vs K-strategy/ R species maximize reproductive success in uncrowded environments. K species maximize population size operating near the carrying capacity of their environment. (hint: 3 words)
- 37. capacity/ K=maximum population size a particular environment can support (hint: 2 words)
- 38. unwinds the helix to begin replication
- 39. promotes production of ova and sperm
