Macromolecules
The four main types of macromolecules in living things
Proteins, Lipids, Carbohydrates, Nucleic acids
This is the basic unit of life
Cells
The main purpose of photosynthesis
To produce food/energy for plant cells
The main purpose of mitosis
To divide cells for growth and repair(asexual reproduction)
The 4 nucleotide bases in DNA
A, T, C, G
Macromolecule that stores genetic information
Nucleic acids
This is the function of the mitochondria
Provide energy for the cell(powerhouse of the cell)
The reactants of photosynthesis
Sunlight, carbon dioxide, water
Type of daughter cells produced by mitosis
Two identical diploid cells(2n)
In RNA, this base is complementary to base A
Base A pairs with base U
This macromolecule is the main source of energy for cells
Carbohydrates
The structure that controls what enters and leaves the cell(security guard)
Cell membrane
The products of photosynthesis
Oxygen, glucose
This process is required to produce egg and sperm cells for sexual reproduction
Meiosis
This happens during transcription
DNA is copied to mRNA
The basic building block of proteins is
Amino acids
This might happen if a cell’s lysosomes stop working properly
Waste will not be able to exit the cell
Cellular respiration is used by (blank) to create energy
Animals
The symbol that represents a haploid cell
n
The two functions of tRNA in translation
tRNA reads mRNA codons and brings amino acids to the ribosome
These elements are found in all macromolecules
Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen
Structures that plant cells have that animal cells don’t(name at least two)
Cell wall, chloroplast, large central vacuole
The gas used for cellular respiration and the gas produced by cellular respiration
Oxygen, Carbon dioxide
The difference in chromosome number between cells made by mitosis and meiosis
Mitosis(46), Meiosis(23)
This may happen if there is a mutation in DNA
It can change the protein that is made, cause disease, etc.
