Episode 81 will recap multiple topics - it’ our third Listener’s Choice Episode. Cladograms are branching diagrams that show common ancestry among groups of organisms. (0:46) Cellular respiration and photosynthesis are energy conversion processes - focus on what goes in, what comes out, where, and why. (2:07) Cell signaling involves reception, transduction and response. (3:22) DNA replication is semiconservative and involves several enzymes. (5:38) And the central dogma has information flow from DNA to RNA to protein. (7:05)

Communities with greater biodiversity are more resistant to ecosystem disruptions and environmental change. (1:00) Some community interactions are permanent, having evolved dependency over many many years with symbiosis. (2:22) A niche is the role or job that an organism has within an ecosystem (4:21).
The Question of the Day asks (6:22) The clownfish hides within the anemone and excretes wastes within it. What type of symbiotic relationship is this?

The APsolute Recap: Biology Edition - Biodiversity
What is an ecosystem? Ecosystems have biotic and abiotic components working together in a system (0:54). The more diverse an ecosystem is, the more resilient it is during environmental changes. (1:27) Both biotic and abiotic factors play a role in maintaining species diversity and the keystone species is the lynch pin. (2:13)
The Question of the Day asks (6:35) Approximately how much energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next?

Graphs and ecology - they go together like predator and prey. Episode 77 recAPs the four equations discussed in Unit 8 - population growth (1:11), exponential growth (2:42), logistic growth (5:00) and Simpson’s Diversity Index (6:26). Get your calculator ready for some practice examples!
The Question of the Day asks (9:01) Autotrophic organisms that capture energy from small inorganic compounds are classified as these.

What does the fox say? ALOT! Each yip, growl, howl and cry is a response to a stimulus in its environment and aids in the fox’s survival and overall reproductive success. (0:30) Survive long enough to pass on those genes and use every trick in your biological power to do so (1:39). Melanie recAPs a variety of examples ranging from phototropism (2:13) and shark blood detection (4:30) to honeybees (5:56).
The Question of the Day asks (7:53) This is the state animals enter when they lower their metabolic rate in summer months.

Evolution doesn’t have goals or dated deadlines, but simply responds to environmental change. Seen through continual changes in genotypic frequencies (1:09), the fossil record (2:01) and antibiotic resistance (4:26) - evolution isn’t about the destination, but the pathway of change.
The Question of the Day asks (7:45) N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide is an insect repellent developed by the US Army in 1946. What is it commonly known as?

Everything is connected and the evidence is overwhelming. You are in the Domain Eukarya, Kingdom animalia – but the common ancestor of all eukaryotes was the OG with membrane bound organelles (1:02), linear chromosomes (2:47) and genes that contain introns(4:51). Each piece of structural and process evidence on the molecular and cellular level supports the common ancestry of all eukaryotes.
The Question of the Day asks (7:25) Collectively, what is a stack of thylakoids called?

Join Melanie on a 5K in episode 73. Phylogeny studies the evolutionary history amongst groups of organisms. It tells the story of relatedness, the branches in the road. (1:37). Be careful - just because two organisms are physically adjacent on a diagram, does not mean they are more closely related (4:05). The episode concludes with unit connections and exam tips (5:34).
The Question of the Day asks (6:50) Ernst Haeckel coined the phrase “ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny.” What is ontogeny?

It is not practical to perform a Punnett square analysis on all possible combinations of all members of a population (1:24). Enter the Hardy-Weinberg equation! The Hardy-Weinberg equation is a tool biologists use not only to make predictions about a population but also to show whether or not the population is evolving. There are 5 conditions that must be met for this to be true. (2:14) Melanie break’s down the H-W equation variables and walks you through an example problem. (5:25)
The Question of the Day asks (7:25) What type of genetic drift occurs when a small group of individuals gets separated from a large population?

Search for signs of life in Episode 71. Do you know the primordial soup recipe? (1:05) Melanie recaps the when (1:46) and how (2:38) life may have begun. Scientists have gathered evidence and created models to describe their thinking (4:29).
The Question of the Day asks (7:35) T/F - The first organisms on earth were likely anerobic.

You have enough DNA in your body to stretch to the sun and back over sixty times. And your cells need to copy it all! Episode 70 recaps the primary enzymes in DNA replication: topoisomerase (3:53), helicase (4:24), DNA polymerase (5:11), and ligase (6:11).
The Question of the Day asks (7:36) When comparing pentose sugars, on which carbon does ribose have a hydroxyl group where deoxyribose does not?

Melanie gets poetic in Episode 69. Roses are red, violets are blue. If a promoter is blocked this may be untrue. Make sure to appropriately distinguish between genes and alleles (1:59). Gene expression occurs at many levels, all of which are essential in producing an organism’s phenotype (3:03). The episode concludes with a recap of the Lac Operon - everyone’s favorite bacterial gene expression example (6:17).
The Question of the Day asks (8:31) In the Lac Operon, is the promoter upstream or downstream from the operator?

Episode 68 explores how does the structure of DNA influence the process of replication and transcription. Beginning with cell cycle placement (1:20), Melanie then distinguishes between quantity of synthesis (2:21). Zoom in further to draw 5’ to 3’ on a nucleotide (3:12). Lastly, the episode contrasts enzymes, cell types and Chargaff’s rules (5:55).
The Question of the Day asks (10:10) Which nitrogenous bases are classified as purines?
