AP Bio Insta-Review: Unit 8

Front

What property of water allows for cooling from sweat?

Back

High Heat of vaporization: This property allows water to absorb a lot of heat before it evaporates, which helps cool the body when sweat evaporates.

Front

What makes up a population?

Back

Same species in the same area: A population consists of individuals of the same species living in a specific area.

Front

If N = 500, K = 250, and r = 0.1, solve for dN/dt?

Back

dN/dt = -50: This is calculated using the logistic growth model formula.

Front

As prey population increases, predator population…

Back

Increases: More prey leads to more food availability for predators, allowing their population to grow.

Front

An adaptation is…

Back

Favored by selection and provides advantage in environment: Adaptations are traits that enhance survival and reproduction.

Front

What is cohesion in water?

Back

Cohesion is the property of water molecules to stick to each other, which is responsible for surface tension.

Front

What is adhesion in water?

Back

Adhesion is the property of water molecules to stick to other substances, which helps in processes like capillary action.

Front

Define carrying capacity (K).

Back

Carrying capacity (K) is the maximum population size that an environment can sustain indefinitely.

Front

What is the difference between a population and a community?

Back

A population consists of individuals of the same species, while a community includes different species living together.

Front

What is natural selection?

Back

Natural selection is the process where organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring.
