Unit 1
By removing a water molecule, this chemical reaction creates space for a new bond to be formed.
This cell feature is responsible for efficient exchange of materials between a cell and its extracellular space.
What is SA:V ration?
These two cellular processes produce the products for eachothers' cycles, and have opposite chemical equations.
What is cellular respiration and photosynthesis?
During this phase of the cell cycle, DNA is synthesized in the nucleus, creating a complete copy.
What is the S-phase?
This simple form of genetics states that one chromosome is inherited from each parent, and the more dominant allele with be expressed.
What is Mendelian genetics?
This macromolecule has a single-ring structure and in composed of the elements hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen.
What is a carbohydrate?
The only organelle common to both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells, this is where proteins are synthesized.
What are ribosomes?
This element is the waste product of photosynthesis.
What is oxygen?
During this phase of the cell cycle, the cell grows in size and increases its number of proteins and organelles.
What is G1?
This component of meiosis occurs during prophase I of meiosis and is responsible for genetic diversity.
What is crossing over?
This subgroup of lipids is responsible for the structure of plasma membranes and is similar to a fat molecule but has only two fatty acids attached to the glycerol.
What is a phospholipid?
Unique to archea and bacteria, this feature means that free floating circular chromosomes exist in non-eukaryotic cells.
What is lack of a nuclear membrane?
This cellular component is the location where water is split during photosynthesis.
What is the thylakoid?
This feedback mechanism is seen in the body's response to high altitude, and brings the body back to homeostasis by counteracting a change in the body.
What is a negative feedback loop?
A genome with two X chromosomes and a Y chromosome may have experience this malfunction during gamete formation.
What is nondisjunction?
This macromolecule has an amino group on one side and a carboxyl on the other.
What is a protein?
This theory serves as evidence of a common origin of life, and says that one prokaryotic cell was engulfed by another, forming a symbiotic relationship.
What is the endosymbiotic theory?
This process occurs when not enough oxygen is present for pyruvate to be metabolized into the Krebs cycles.
What is fermentation?
This cellular component binds to receptors on the cell surface, stimulating cell division from outside of the cell?
What is a growth factor?
This calculation is intended to compare expected results with actual outcome, and is used by geneticists.
What is a chi-square test?
when the pH of a solution goes down, more of these molecules are added.
What is a hydrogen atom?
This compound provides energy for the cell to transport nutrients in and out.
What is ATP?
This cellular component creates a concentration gradient needed for ATP synthase to create ATP molecules.
What is the electron transport chain?
During this stage of mitosis, sister chromatids separate and migrate towards opposite sides of the cell.
What is anaphase?
This three-nucleotide strand of DNA codes for a specific amino acid that is transferred to RNA and then made into a protein.
What is a codon?
