Cells require glucose as a source of energy to carry out life processes. large molecules like glucose cross the cell's plasma membrane by a) being pumped through ion channels. b) active transport through protein channels. c) passive diffusion through the lipid bilayer. d) facilitated diffusion through protein channels.

Chapter 11.1 & 11.2 notes section 11.1 1. every living thing has a set of ? inherited from its parents. 2. after becoming a ? , mendel spent several years studying ? and mathematics at the university of vienna. 3. during sexual reproduction, male and female reproductive cells join, a process known as ? . 4. pea flowers are normally ? , which means that sperm cells in pollen fertilize the egg cells in the ? flowers. 5. when mendel crossed plants with ? characters for the same trait, the resulting offspring had only one of the characters. 6. a ? is a specific characteristic, such as seed color or plant height, that varies from one individual to another. 7. filius and filia are the latin words for ? and ? . 8. the offspring of crosses between parents with different traits are called ? . 9.to mendel's surprise, all of the offspring had the character of only ? of the parents. 10. mendel's first conclusion was that biological inheritance is determined by ? that are ? from one generation to the next. 11. scientist calls the chemical factors that determine traits ? . 12. mendel's second conclusion is the ? . 13. the principle of dominance states that some alleles are ? and others are ? . 14. when mendel allowed the f1 plants to reproduce by self-pollination the traits controlled by ? alleles reappeared in about ? of the f2 plants in each cross.

Ascience research group is testing a new type of plant food. one trial is conducted in a controlled experiment. the data from the trial show that the plant that received the new food grew faster than the control plant. the group announces that the new plant food makes plants grow faster. what is the main weakness in this scientific claim?

How do you think earths interior affects what is happening on the surface? 2. how do fossils support the continental drift hypothesis? 3. how does sea- floor spreading support the hypothesis of continental drift? 4.what do scientists observe when they studied the magnetic fields of rocks on the sides of mid-ocean ridges? 5. what is a tectonic plate ? 6. explain mantle convection 7.how can movements of the continents affect earths climate? 8. what occurs during drifting?
