The process by which macromolecules are joined together is called _______________ and the process where they are broken down is called ___________________.
What are dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis?
100
These are two examples of passive transport.
What are diffusion and osmosis?
100

This molecule is the final electron acceptor of the ETC.

What is oxygen?

100

Type of communication in which signals act on cells near the secreting cell

What is paracrine?

100

This type of DNA is only inherited from the mother.

mtDNA (mitochondrial DNA)

200

This property of water is a relative high value compared to other substances and allows for water to be an excellent temperature regulator.

What is specific heat?

200

This type of protein spans the hydrophobic interior of the plasma membrane. 

What is an integral protein? (Also accept protein channel, transmembrane protein) 

200

This is a process that produces a little ATP, includes glycolysis, and restores NAD+. It occurs when there is no oxygen present.

What is fermentation/anaerobic respiration?

200

These are the three steps of the signal transduction pathway.

Reception, Transduction, Response

200

The difference between co-dominance and incomplete dominance.

What is the expression of phenotype (co-dominance: both traits expressed, incomplete: a blend)

300
Amino acids are made up of these three groups.
What are the carboxyl group, amine group, and a variable (R) group?
300

This is the correct sequence of locations during the transport of proteins out of a cell.

What is the RER --> Golgi ---> vesicles ----> plasma membrane.

300

This is a step of cellular respiration that breaks down AcetylCoA to 2 carbon dioxide, 1 ATP, 3NADH, and 1 FADH2 molecules in mitochondrial matrix.

What is the Krebs Cycle?

300

The stages of the cell cycle in order, including each step of mitosis.

What is G1, S, G2, Mitosis (Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, Cytokinesis). 

300

Meiosis and mitosis differ because they produce cells with a different number of chromosomes: ______ for meiosis and ______ for mitosis.

What is haploid; diploid?

400

Saturated fatty acids and unsaturated fatty acids are often different states of matter at room temperature (liquid or solid). Draw or describe this feature. 

What are double bonds between the carbons? (Also, the lack of hydrogens as a result).

400

This is what happens when a plant cell is placed in a hypotonic solution.

It becomes turgid or expands.

400

These are the three electron carriers found in photosynthesis and cellular respiration.

What are NADPH, NADH, and FADH2?

400

One example of how cells regulate cell division to avoid overproducing or underproducing cells (multiple answer options). 

G0, checkpoints, cdK & kinase, oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes 

400

In a dog breed known as the Mexican Hairless, the “hairless” phenotype is a result of a mutation displaying an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance. Homozygous recessive individuals (hh) display a “coated” phenotype. Inheriting two copies of the mutation (HH) is lethal during embryonic development. In a cross between two dogs with the hairless phenotype, this proportion of puppies BORN is expected to be hairless.

What is 66%?

500

This type of inhibition occurs when a substrate binds to a site other than the active site to prevent enzyme catalysis.

What is allosteric/noncompetitive inhibition?

500

This measurement has a maximum value of 0; it decreases as the concentration of a solute increases. (Be specific!)

What is solute potential?

500

This is the site of high concentration of protons built up during a step of cellular respiration.

What is the intermembrane space of the mitochondria?

500

The name for the act of "energizing" molecules by adding a phosphate group to the structure.

Phosphorylation

500
These are the two events in meiosis that increase the amount of genetic variation in offspring (include description).
What are crossing over (exchange of genetic info between homologous pairs in prophase 1) and independent assortment (random separation of sister chromatids during metaphase 1)
