What are the two types of energy? - Be able to define the following: gene pool, evolution, natural selection, phenotype, genotype, equilibrium population, immigration, emigration, bottleneck and founder effect, directional influence, stabilizing influence, disruptive influence, extinction, virus, viroid, prion, kinetic energy, and potential energy.Lecture 6 (January 29)- What are the uses of energy? What are the Laws of Thermodynamics? What are we dependent on? What is photosynthesis and where does it take place? What is respiration and where does it take place? What is an autotroph? What does C3 favor? What does C4 favor?Sample questions. I have not seen the test and do not know what the questions will be. I have made up these questions simply for you to test your knowledge. This should hopefully give you an idea of what you know and what you need to study. Remember, the professor specifically said the test format will consist of multiple definition, example, and list type questions.1. Which of the following is not a main concept for this course? a.
