Eco & Evol 100
• The key event in the formation of a new speciation– Evolution of reproductive barriers
Eco & Evol 200
• A speciation event where geographic separation is the initial block to gene flow– Allopatric speciation
Eco & Evol 300
• A definition of a species based on the ability of individuals to successfully mate and reproduce – Biological species concept
Eco & Evol 400
• A possible result of competition where one species goes locally extinct– Competitive exclusion
Eco & Evol 500
• A population growth pattern that occurs when a population grows rapidly at first but then reaches a carrying capacity– Logistic Growth
Diversity 100
• The Kingdom that used to include all unicellular eukaryotes but now includes some multicellular ones– Kingdom Protista
Diversity 400
• The name given to animals that have a true body cavity, located within mesoderm tissue– coelomates
Diversity 500
• Along with a notochord, pharyngeal slits and a post-anal tail, it is one of the 4 common characteristics of the Phylum Chordata– Dorsal hollow nerve cord
Reproduction & Development 100
• Another name for asexual reproduction in plants– Vegetative reproduction
Reproduction & Development 200
• When the sperm and the egg unite outside of the female’s body– External fertilization
Reproduction & Development 300
• A series of rapid cell divisions that occurs after fertilization in animals– cleavage
Reproduction & Development 400
• The stage in vertebrate development where the three germ layers form in the embryo– gastrulation
Reproduction & Development 500
• The stage in vertebrate development where the structure that becomes the spinal cord forms– neurulation
Nutrition 200
• The organ where most chemical digestion takes place in the digestive system of vertebrates– Small intestine
Nutrition 400
• An adaptation common to all structures that are used for absorption of nutrients in various organisms– Increased surface area
Nutrition 500
• The three most important nutrients that plants must get from soil and the common components of fertilizers– Nitrogen, phosphorous & potassium
Gas Exchange 400
• The method that mammals use to ventilate their lungs– Negative pressure breathing
Gas Exchange 500
• The process that increases the efficiency of gas exchange in the gills of fish– Countercurrent exchange
Transport 100
• The name of the system of tubes that transport water and dissolved nutrients throughout a plant– xylem
Transport 200
• The name of the system of tubes that carry sap from sugar source to sugar sink– phloem
Transport 300
• The main mechanism that causes water to move up from the roots to the tips of a plant– Transpiration/cohesion
Transport 400
• The movement of fluid due to pressure differences, as occurs in the phloem of a plant– Mass flow or bulk flow
Transport 500
• The waxy coating of the endodermis that forces water and dissolved materials to pass through a cell before entering the vascular cylinder of a plant– Casparian strip
Circulation 100
• A circulatory system where the fluid is always enclosed with blood vessels– Closed circulatory system
Circulation 300
• The number of capillary beds a red blood cell would pass through in a mammal from when it leaves the heart to when it returns to the heart– one
Circulation 400
• The chamber in the heart of mammals that pumps blood through the systemic circuit– Left ventricle
Circulation 500
• Known as the pacemaker of the heart, this is the node that initiates the signal that causes the heart to beat– Sinoatrial node
Osmoregulation & Excretion 200
• The nitrogenous waste that is the most efficient to excrete and is excreted by marine invertebrates– ammonia
Osmoregulation & Excretion 300
• The portion of the nephron that is responsible for water reabsorption– Loop of Henle
Osmoregulation & Excretion 400
• The hormone that is produced when the blood concentration or osmolality increases and your body needs to conserve water– ADH Anti-Diuretic Hormone
