Biological Processes
Really?
100
6CO2 + 6H2O + E ==> C6H12O6 + 6O2.
What is the formula for photosynthesis?
100
Organisms built of many cells.
What are multi cellular organisms?
100
movement, reproduction, growth, respiration/use of energy, organization, response to stimuli
What are several of the properties of life?
100
Something plants can do that you can't. It is the energy source for most life on earth.
What is photosynthesis?
100
Hydrogendioxide is better known as this.
What is water.
200
A lipid ring that performs a specific function in an organism. Hormones such as estrogen, testosterone, and human growth hormone are examples.
What are steroids?
200
The cell membrane is made up of this.
What is a bilipid layer
200
The study of life.
What is biology?
200
The 'waste' product from respiration.
What is CO2 or carbondioxide?
200
This delicious clawed ocean invertebrate is a candidate for biological immortality.
What are lobsters?
300
Consists of a three-carbon backbone called glycerol attached to three fatty acids, which contain long hydrocarbon chains.
What is a lipid or fat?
300
The division of a cell into two identical daughter cells.
What is mitosis?
300
Three of the six most common elements in living things.
What are hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur? (Only have to name three of these to be right.)
300
An energy-using process in which cells absorb molecules (such as proteins) by engulfing them.
What is endocytosis?
300
During these processes the cell wall actually breaks apart and engulfs materials to bring them in to a cell or to take them out of it.
What is endocytocis and exocytocis?
400
A three atom molecule that is positively charged on one end and negatively charged on the other.
What is H20?
400
The site of protein synthesis within a cell.
What are ribosomes?
400
Contains its own DNA separate from the rest of the organism. Produces ATP which powers the cell.
What is a mitochondria?
400
The last step of mitosis when the cytoplasm fully separates forming two daughter cells.
What is cytokineses?
400
This organelle found in eukaryotic cells may actually be a symbiant rather than part of the organism.
What are mitochondrian?
500
Lowers the activation energy of a reaction. Some humans cannot digest milk because of a deficiency of these.
What are enzymes?
500
A channel protein uses ATP to pump material across concentration gradient.
What is active transport?
500
Amino acids differ from each other only in these:
What are side groups?
500
A specific reactant an enzyme acts upon
What is a substrate?
500
This corrosive gas is necessary for life but also speeds aging. Iron cannot rust without it.
What is oxygen?
