Cell Respiration & Photosynthesis
The energy source for plants in photosynthesis
What is sunlight/solar energy?
The type of biomolecule that makes DNA and RNA
What is a nucleic acid?
The base pairing rules for RNA
What is A-U, G-C?
Proteins are made up of these subunits, which are coded for by RNA codons
What are amino acids?
This happens to a gene when its trait or protein product is temporarily needed by the organism.
What is activation/turning on the gene?
The organelle that carries out cellular respiration
What is the mitochondria?
The shape of a DNA molecule
What is a double helix?
The process of making RNA from DNA
What is transcription?
The process of making RNA into protein
What is translation?
A fox that turns from red to white in the winter changes color because of this.
What is gene expression?
The products of cellular respiration which are the reactants of photosynthesis
What are water and carbon dioxide?
The three parts of a nucleotide
What is a phosphate group, a nitrogenous base and a sugar?
The location of transcription in the cell
What is the nucleus?
The location of translation in the cell
What is the ribosome/cytoplasm?
When a gene is expressed, this means the _______ product is allowed to be made and used by the organism.
What is protein?
The end product of cellular respiration that provides energy
What is ATP?
The enzyme that builds the new DNA strand, using the original strand as a template
What is DNA Polymerase?
What is RNA polymerase?
The molecule that contains an amino acid on one end, and an RNA anticodon on the other end
What is tRNA?
A molecule that "turns a gene off" by stopping transcription
What is an inhibitor?
The types of organisms that can perform cellular respiration
What are animal and plant cells?
What the D in DNA stands for
What is deoxyribose?
The copy of the genetic code is carried from the nucleus to the ribosome by this molecule
What is mRNA?
The central dogma of biology, or how the genetic code is used by the organism
What is DNA to RNA to protein?
Gene activation is a _________ change that (does/does not) change the organism's DNA
What is temporary, and does not?
