Biology EOC Vocab Review
18
Aerobic respiration:Growing or metabolizing only in the presence of molecular oxygen
Asexual reproduction:Nonsexual means of reproduction which can include grafting and budding
Bacteria:A single-celled, microscopic prokaryotic organism
Biosphere:The area on and around Earth where life exists
Cellular respiration:The process by which cells generate ATP through a series of redox (chemical) reactions
Chromosome:A single DNA molecule, a tightly coiled strand of DNA
Endocytosis:The process by which a cell surrounds and engulfs substances
Epidemic:An outbreak of a contagious disease that spreads widely and rapidly
Evolution:The long-term process through which a population of organisms accumulates genetic changes that enable its members to successfully adapt to environmental conditions and to better exploit food resources
Fungi:Microorganisms that lacks chlorophyll
Prokaryote:A bacterial cell lacking a true nucleus; its DNA is usually in one long strand
Genotype:The structure of DNA that determines the expression of a trait
Hypotheses:Statement or predictions that can be tested
Lipid:Any of a group of organic compounds that are insoluble in water but soluble in nonpolar solvents; serve as energy storage and are important components of cell membranes
Microbe:A microorganism
Mutation:An alteration in DNA structure or sequence of a gene
Osmosis:The diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane
Prophase:First phase of mitosis in which duplicated chromosomes condense and mitotic spindle fibers begin to form
Telophase:Final phase of mitosis during which chromosomes uncoil, a nuclear envelope returns around the chromatin, and a nucleolus becomes visible in each daughter cell
