Chemistry
What is an element?
Defined as the smallest unit of life.
What is a cell?
The two molecules that are needed to perform cellular respiration.
What is oxygen and glucose?
The energy source used to drive photosynthesis.
What is sunlight?
The G1, S , and G2 stages make up a portion of the cell cycle called this.
What is interphase?
Molecules composed of more than one element.
The site of protein synthesis.
What are the ribosomes?
This kind of respiration occurs in the presence of oxygen.
What is aerobic respiration?
This is the plant cell organelle that photosynthesis occurs in.
What are the chloroplasts?
A stage in which the cell physically separates into two new daughter cells.
What is cytokinesis?
What is/are a lipids?
What is the mitochondria?
The beginning pathway of both aerobic and anaerobic respiration.
What is gycolysis?
The is the major pigment associated with photosynthesis.

What is chlorophyll a?
During this phase of mitosis, sister sister chromatids line up along the middle of the cell ready to split apart.
What is metaphase?
Testosterone hormone is an example of this class of lipid molecules.
What is testosterone?
The movement of water molecules down their concentration gradient without the use of energy.
For each glucose dropped into glycolysis, this cycle occurs twice and makes a total of 2ATP molecules.
What is the Krebs cycle?
These are the three products of the light reactions in photosynthesis.
What are ATP, NADPH, and CO2?
The cell will not divide if these factors are absent.
What are growth factors?
A sugar consisting of two monosaccharides bound together.
What is a disaccharide?
The absense of the enzymes that are usually found in this organelle can lead to a variety of diseases known as storage diseases. One example of such is called Tay-Sachs disease.

What is a lysosome?
This stage of cullular respiration produces the most energy in the from of approximately 36 ATP molecules!
What is oxidative phosphorylation?
The binding of the carbon from CO2 to a molecule that is able to enter the Calvin cycle.
What is carbon fixation?
A major event during meiosis that does not occur during mitosis. Two homologous chromosomes wrap around each other and exchange DNA.
What is crossing over?
