Cells and Organelles
This fluid-like, "jelly" substance fills the cell and surrounds the organelles
What is cytoplasm?
These are the monomers (building blocks) of proteins
What are amino acids?
This green pigment is responsible for capturing light energy in the chloroplast.
What is chlorophyll?
This is the physical appearance or observable traits of an organism.
What is the phenotype?
Cells placed in this kind of solution with a higher solute concentration outside than inside causes the cell to shrink.
What is hypertonic?
Often called the "shipping center", this organelle modifies, sorts, and packages proteins
What is the golgi apparatus?
This class of biomolecules includes fats, oils, and waxes, and are used for long-term energy storage.
What are Lipids?
This "energy currency" is created during cellular respiration.
What is ATP?
This grid-like tool is used to predict the probability of genotypes in offspring.
What is a punnett square?
This system is responsible for transporting oxygen, nutrients, and waste throughout the body.
What is the circulatory system?
This organelle contains digestive enzymes to break down waste and "old" cell parts.
What is a lysosome?
Polysaccharides like starch and cellulose belong to this group of biomolecules.
What are Carbohydrates?
In the absence of oxygen, cells perform this process to continue producing a small amount of ATP.
This type of inheritance occurs when both alleles are fully expressed, such as in AB blood types or "speckled" chickens.
What is codominance?
These chemical messengers are produced by the endocrine system and travel through the blood to target organs.
What are hormones?
Reason for why the cell membrane is able to allow things to pass through it but also keeps things in and out of it.
What is Semi-Permeable?
!!DAILY DOUBLE!!
This specific type of bond holds together the amino acids in a protein chain.
What is a Peptide Bond?
These are the two primary products of the light-dependent reactions used to fuel the Calvin Cycle
What are ATP and NADPH?
This enzyme "unzips" the DNA double helix during replication
What is DNA helicase?
This type of transport moves molecules from a high area of concentration to low concentration without using energy.
What is diffusion?
This theory suggests that mitochondria and chloroplasts were once independent prokaryotes that were engulfed by a larger cell.
What is the endosymbiotic theory?
These are the three components that make up a single nucleotide.
What are a nitrogenous base, a phosphate group, and a sugar?
This 3-carbon molecule is the end product of Glycolysis before it enters the mitochondria.
What is Pyruvate?
This process during Prophase I of Meiosis leads to increased genetic variation by exchanging DNA between homologous chromosomes.
What is crossing over?
What is a hypotonic solution?
