Chem of Life
This type of bond involves the sharing of electrons between atoms, such as between Oxygen and Hydrogen within a single water molecule.
What is a covalent bond
Enzymes increase the rate of a reaction by lowering this specific energy requirement.
What is activation energy?
According to Base Pairing rules, Cytosine always pairs with this nitrogenous base.
What is Guanine?
This "Father of Genetics" used pea plants to derive the Law of Segregation.
Who is Gregor Mendel?
This organelle is often called the "post office" of the cell because it modifies and packages proteins.
What is the Golgi Apparatus?
Because water has both a partial positive and a partial negative charge, it is classified as this type of molecule.
What is Polar?
This is the primary electron carrier used during Glycolysis and the Krebs Cycle.
What is NAD+ or NADH
This process involves DNA being "read" to produce a strand of mRNA.
What is Transcription?
This term describes the change in an allele frequency due to chance events, typically affecting small populations.
What is Genetic Drift?
Unlike active transport, this type of transport moves substances down their concentration gradient without the use of ATP.
What is Passive Transport?
This reaction occurs when two monomers are joined together, resulting in the loss of a water molecule.
What is dehydration synthesis?
In photosynthesis, the light-dependent reactions take place in this specific part of the chloroplast.
What is the Thylakoid Membrane?
These are the non-coding sequences of mRNA that are removed during RNA processing in eukaryotes.
What are introns?
Name what happens to two organisms that don’t interbreed and produce fertile offspring together anymore.
What is Speciation?
If a cell is placed in this type of solution, water will leave the cell, causing it to shrivel.
What is a Hypotonic Solution?
This level of protein folding involves the formation of alpha-helices and beta-pleated sheets via hydrogen bonding.
What is secondary structure?
This enzyme, powered by a proton gradient, is responsible for the bulk of ATP production during oxidative phosphorylation.
What is ATP Synthase?
In cell signaling, this term refers to the process of converting an extracellular signal into a specific cellular response.
What is signal transduction?
This condition must be met for a population to be in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium, specifically regarding the movement of individuals.
What is no gene flow/migration?
This model describes the cell membrane as a tapestry of several types of molecules (phospholipids, cholesterols, and proteins) that are constantly moving.
What is the Fluid Mosaic Model?
What are the three components of a Nucleotide:
What are a Five-Carbon Sugar, a Phosphate Group, and a Nitrogenous Base?
This type of inhibition occurs when a molecule binds to an allosteric site, changing the shape of the enzyme's active site.
What is Non-Competitive Inhibition?
This type of point mutation results in a premature stop codon, often leading to a non-functional protein.
What is a nonsense mutation?
These are genes located on the same chromosome that tend to be inherited together unless crossing over occurs.
What are linked genes?
These are the specialized protein channels that allow for the rapid transport of water across the cell membrane.
What are Aquaporins?
