Across
- 5. Results to natural selection as these differences influence survival and reproduction of individuals within the environment
- 7. A quantifiable gradient in a single biological character of a species across its geographic range
- 9. Atype of natural selection that favors the extreme values for a trait.
- 11. For plants to continue their metabolic processes they need this variety of elements in sizable quantities.
- 13. This is utilized by some animals to minimize evaporative cooling and conserve water in the desert.
- 16. A process where green plants derived their carbon needs.
- 19. Capacity of individuals to alter their phenotype in response to the modifications in their environment.
- 23. Process which allows aquatic plants to dissipate heat.
- 25. Organisms which keep enough oxygen supply despite the fluctuations in their surrounding.
- 27. Enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of carbon dioxide into sugar
- 29. It refers to the range of the temperatures in the environment where the metabolic rates are minimal.
Down
- 1. Plant converts this compound into glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate(g3p)during the process of carboxylation.
- 2. Gene alteration which contributes to genetic variation.
- 3. Organisms with degree of their survival depends on their capacity to tolerate the changing conditions from their external environment
- 4. Reversible changes in phenotype as a response to alterations in its surroundings.
- 6. This group of organisms follow Bergmann's rule which states that as the mean annual temperature decreases the body size for species rises.
- 7. Utilizes fuel for their metabolism through the oxidation of inorganic molecules.
- 8. Organisms which have low metabolic rate and high thermal conductivity.
- 10. Since completely submerged aquatic plants lack this part they tend to rely on simple diffusion.
- 12. Produces offspring that can most probably inherit rare and deleterious genes.
- 14. These traits allow individuals to flourish in their environment.
- 15. Period of dormancy actuated by dry conditions.
- 17. Utilized by ectothermic organisms to tolerate extreme cold conditions.
- 18. This micronutrient helps in the activation of enzymes in the fatty-acid synthesis in plants.
- 20. Aside from stomatal density, this also influences stomatal conductance.
- 21. Refers to the representation of reproductive success of an organism as it copes with its environment.
- 22. The main source of energy of carnivorous animals.
- 24. This happens when the system deviates the set point observed in homeostasis.
- 26. A population which flourished in a specific local environment with its own set of conditions.
- 28. Organisms that particularly fed on woody matter.
