Where does photosynthesis happen? Where does cellular respiration happen?
Photosynthesis- chloroplast
Cellular Respiration- mitochondria
What is a carbohydrate?
A biomolecule used for a a source of energy; bread, sugar, starch, ect.
List the 3 parts of the cell theory.
1. Cells are the basic unit of life. 2. All living things are made of cells. 3. All cells come from pre-existing cells.
What is cancer?
A disorder when cells lose their ability to control their growth rate (divisions) - Uncontrolled cell growth
What is DNA replication? What does it result in?
The copying of DNA. Results in a new DNA molecule where 1/2 the DNA molecule is a new strand and 1/2 the DNA molecule is the original strand.
What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?
Aerobic respiration requires oxygen
Anaerobic respiration does not require oxygen
What is a lipid?
Fats, oils, waxes, and steroids are all examples of this.
What is the difference between prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells? (List at least 3 differences)
Prokaryotic cells have NO nucleus and NO organelles and only make up bacteria (unicellular organisms). Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and organelles and can make up both unicellular AND multicellular organsims
What are checkpoints, and why are they important?
Checkpoints are self regulating intervals where the cell will check for mistakes and either correct them or self destruct.
What sugar does DNA have? What sugar does RNA have?
DNA = deoxyribose RNA = ribose
What organic compound is the main source of energy for living things?
Carbohydrates (glucose)
What are DNA & RNA?
The function of these are to carrying genetic information.

What is a nucleotide?
The building blocks of DNA and RNA.
Why are plants green?
Because they have chloroplasts that contain chlorophyll, a pigment that reflects green light.
