Chemistry of Life
the smallest basic unit of matter
What are Atoms?
is the storehouse for most of the genetic information or DNA
What is a Nucleus?
is a molecule in chloroplast that absorbs some of the energy in visible light.
What is chlorophyll?
cellular respiration in the presence of oxygen
What is aerobic?
Consist of Gap1, Gap2, and the Synthesis
What is the cell cycle?
one particular type of atom and it cannot be broken down into a simpler substance by ordinary chemical means.
What is an element
tiny organelles that link amino acids together
What are ribosomes?
coin shaped membranes enclosed compartments in the chloroplast
What are thylakoids?
splits glucose into two three-carbon molecules and make 2 ATP
What is Glycolysis?
the division of the cell nucleus and its contents
What is Mitosis?
is a substance made of atoms of different elements bonded together in a certain ratio.
What is a compound?
supplies energy to cells through cell respiration
What is mitochondria?
captures energy from the sun in the thylakoid
What is the light dependent reactions?
consist of Glycolysis, Kreb cycle and electron transport chain
the process that divides the cell cytoplasm and organelles
What is Cytokinesis?
is an atom that has gained or lost one or more electrons
What is an Ion?
are a general name used to describe small membrane-bound sacs that divide some materials from the rest of the cytoplasm
What are vesicles?
use energy from the light-dependent reaction to make sugars in the stoma
What is the light independent reactions?
removes electrons from NADH molecules and recycles NAD+
What is Fermentation?
a group of protein that allow DNA to wrap around them
What are Histones?
formed when atoms share a pair of electrons.
What is a covalent bond?
is a fluid-filled sac used for the storage of materials needed by a cell.
What are vacuoles?
a series of proteins in the membrane of the thylakoid
What is the electron transport chain?
The products of this process are two molecules of an alcohol two molecules of carbon dioxide and two molecules of NAD+
What is alcoholic fermentaiton?
The spindle fiber appears, nuclear membrane disappear and chromatin condensed to form Chromosomes
What is Prophase?
