1every ecosystem carries out the basic processes of:
energy flow and matter cycling

photosynthesis and nitrification

solar energy capture and re-radiation

evaporation and precipitation

2 the biological role played by a species in its environment is called a:

ecosystem

habitat

niche

population

3 predators rarely kill and eat all available prey because:

predator and prey species often occupy the same trophic level in an ecosystem

prey species often lack protective mechanisms to deter being eaten

many predator and prey species have a commensalistic relationship

predator species often will switch its prey as one prey species becomes less abundant

4 is an overabundance of nutrients that leads to excessive plant growth and

reduction of oxygen in an ecosystem.

denitrification

eutrophication

nitrification

phosphorylation

5 which of these biomes receives the greatest amount of yearly rainfall?

boreal forest

grasslands

temperate forests

tropical forests

6 an organism's position within a food web is known as its:

ecosystem

habitat

niche

trophic level

7 which of the following describes organisms in a pelagic zone?

plankton floating near the ocean surface

bottom-dwellers on the ocean floor

barnacles glued to stone in an intertidal zone

frogs in a pond close to the pond's edge

In a hypothetical breed of dogs, coat color is controlled by two genes. there are six different coat colors in this breed: black, brown, cream, gray, silver, and tan. consider the following crosses.cross 1: black females from a lineage of all black dogs are crossed with brown males from a lineage of all brown dogs. f1 males and females are all black. when f1 are intercrossed, f2 males and females are black or brown.cross 2: black females from a lineage of all black dogs are crossed with tan males from a lineage where all males are tan and all females are cream. f1 males are black, f1 females are gray. when f1 are intercrossed, f2 males and females are black, brown, gray, or tan.cross 3: silver females from a lineage where all females are silver and all males are gray are crossed with brown males from a lineage of all brown dogs. f1 males and females are all gray. when f1 are intercrossed, f2 males are black, brown, gray, or tan, f2 females are cream, gray, silver, or tan.select the correct statements regarding the mode of inheritance of the coat color genes.a) both genes are x-linked.b) both genes are autosomal.c) one of the genes modifies the expression of the other gene.d) each gene has an additive effect on the intensity of coat color.e) each gene independently specifies three colors.f) one of the genes is autosomal, and the other is x-linked.

Protein synthesis actually begins in the nucleus when transcribes a single gene on the dna molecule is copied. the process of copying this gene is called this copy is known as and contains the protein building instructions. this copy is sent out into the cytoplasm to the part of the cell known as the the of the ribosome will join together to form a functional ribosome when they attach to the mrna. as the mrna moves through the ribosome, the message is read by transfer rna brings the correct back to the ribosome. the amino acids are placed in the correct order and are hitched together by
