Macro Molecules and More!
Macro molecules are divided into these major categories
What are carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids
Binary fission, mitosis, and meiosis are examples of this?
What are the forms of cell division?
The number of protons ans electrons an element contains
What is the atomic number?
The most important inorganic substance is this
What is water?
The study of the chemical basis of heredity is called this
What is molecular genetics?
The process of combining molecules by adding water is called this
What is dehydration syntethsis?
Mitosis has these two main parts
What is mitosis proper (division of nuclear material) and cytokineses (division of the cytoplasm)
This tells you how many valence electrons there are
What is the group number (family number)
Because water can dissolve so much, it is called this
What is the Universal Solvent?
An important enzyme that breaks the hydrogen bonds and allows DNA strands to separate forming a replication fork is called this
What is helicase?
A nitrogen base and a ribose sugar form this piece of usable cell energy
What is adenosine?
A cancer causing gene is called this
What is an oncogene?
Chemical bonding between atoms/ elements follows this general pattern.
What is: 1) Metals combine with nonmetals by transferring electrons. 2) Nonmetals combine with nonmetals by forming covalent bonds (sharing valence electrons). 3) Hydrogen combines with C, H, O, N, P, and S by forming covalent bonds (sharing valence electrons)
H2O molecules are attracted to each other through a process known as this
What is adhesion?
Purines are associated with these bases
What is Guanine and Adenine (GA).
This type of bond is found connecting amino acids together. Hydrolysis will break this type of bond.
What are peptide bonds?
Synapsis occurs during this stage of meiosis
What is prophase I?
When Li transfers an electron to F it is said to be this
What is oxidized?
H2O repels non-polar molecules (like oils). This is because oils are called this
What is hydrophobic?
This scientist found that nucleic acids had 3 basic components in their nucleotide building blocks
Who is Levene?
This is a complex, neutral fat of 3 fatty acids and 1 glycerol.
What is a triglyceride?
This occurs at the end of cell division to split the cell
What is invagination?
An atom that has the same number of protons and electrons is aid to be this
What is neutral?
Ionic bonded molecules do this when dissolved in H2O
What is dissociate?
The process in which a ribosome attaches on to the mRNA and starts reading at a "start" codon
What is Initiation?
