BIOMOLECULES
These are the building blocks of proteins:
Amino acids
This type of cell does not have a nucleus or membrane bound organelles
What is a Prokaryotic cell?
This is the process in which plants and other autotrophs convert light energy to carbohydrates
What is Photosynthesis?
What happens during mitosis?
The nucleus divides
This process requires oxygen and creates ATP in the the mitochondria.
What is CELLULAR RESPIRATION
The term that describes a genotype made of two identical alleles
Homozygous
The cell wall (plants) is made up of this type of biomolecule.
What is a carbohydrate?
This type of cell includes things like Chloroplast and cell walls.
What is plant cells
This process happens in the mitochondria to give us energy
What is cellular respiration?
The cell spends about 90-95% of its lifetime in this phase?
INTERPHASE
A pigment that converts solar energy to chemical energy in the form of ATP (found in plants).
What is CHLOROPHYLL
What are the three (3) steps of interphase?
G1, S-phase, G2
What are four (4) structures found in ALL cell types? (Hint: RCDC)
Ribosomes, cytoplasm, DNA, cell membrane
Organisms that make their own food are called?
Producers (autotrophs)
1. Reproduction (new organisms)
2. Growth (organisms gain cells as they grow)
3. Repair (fixing damaged organs)
This organelle is responsible for protein synthesis.
What is a ribosome?
Identify the monomer (building block) of DNA?
Nucleic Acids
This biomolecule is responsible for making up a large part of the cell membrane.
phospholipids
Are non-living and need a host cell to reproduce?
VIRUSES
Photosynthesis takes place in the __________ of plant cells.
Chloroplasts
Uncontrolled or unregulated cell division leads to ________________.
CANCER
What molecule is broken down during cellular respiration to release energy?
GLUCOSE
Movement of molecules from high concentration to low concentration?
Diffusion (passive transport)
These proteins act as a catalysts to speed up reactions in the body and usually end in "-ase"
What is an ENZYME
Type of cell containing a nucleus (ex: protista, fungi, plant, animal cells)
Eukaryotic!
A vascular tissue that carries sugar and nutrients down from the leaves
PHLOEM
Stage of interphase in which DNA replication occurs?
Movement of particles across a membrane that uses a protein but no energy?
What is facilitated diffusion
The physical makeup of an organism, the traits you see (ex. tall, short, brown)
