Enzyme/homeostasis
The state when an organism maintaining stable internal conditions when external conditions change.
What is equilibrium
This word pard means two
What is di
This nitrogenous base replaces thymine when genetic instructions are transcribed into RNA.
What is uracil
The longest overarching stage of the cell cycle, which includes cell growth and DNA replication.
What is interphase
This organelle is known as the "control center" of the cell and houses the DNA
What is the nucleus
Most enzymes belong to this class of biological macromolecules and are built from amino acid chains.
What are proteins
This is the specific suffix found at the end of most enzyme names (such as lactase or amylase).
What is ase
Present in RNA but absent in DNA, this five-carbon sugar forms part of the molecule's backbone.
What is ribose
The specific sub-phase of interphase where a cell creates an exact replica of its genetic material.
What is S phase
This organelle generates most of the cell's supply of ATP energy.
What is the mitochondrion
This type of feedback loop stops or reverses a response to bring the body back to its set point (such as sweating to cool down).
What is a negative feedback loop
This word part means below or under
what is sub
These repeating monomer units serve as the building blocks for both DNA and RNA, each consisting of a sugar, a phosphate, and a nitrogenous base
What are nucleotides
The rapid stage of mitosis where sister chromatids are pulled apart toward opposite poles of the dividing cell
What is anaphase
These tiny structures are responsible for building or synthesizing proteins.
what are ribosomes
Enzymes speed up chemical reactions by lowering this specific type of energy.
What is activation energy
This prefix found at the beginning of a simple single cell that evolved before eukaryotes
What is pro
These weak chemical bonds connect complementary nitrogenous bases across the center of the DNA ladder.
what are hydrogen bonds
The final division of the cell's cytoplasm, resulting in two separate, independent daughter cells
What is cytokinesis
This organelle packages, modifies, and distributes proteins and lipids throughout the cell.
What is the golgi apparatus
The term used when extreme temperature or an improper pH level permanently alters the 3D shape of an enzyme, making it stop working.
What is denature
The definition of this word part may be synonymous with "large" but has a different meaning
what is lip
DNA replication is considered this because each new molecule of DNA has one original strand and one newly synthesized strand
What is semi-conservative
The biochemical term for programmed cell death, which triggers if a cell fails its cycle checkpoints beyond repair.
What is apoptosis
This type of cell contains a true, membrane-bound nucleus and specialized organelles.
What is a eukaryote
