Unit 1
These are the six elements that makeup nearly all living matter.
What are CHONPS?
These are the two main differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
What are size/complexity and presence of membrane bound organelles?
This is how enzymes catalyze a reaction
What is by lowering the activation energy of a reaction?
This is the type of cell to cell communication wherein signals travel over long distances
What is endocrine?
These are the types of bonds that occur between water molecules.
What are hydrogen bonds?
This is the pathway of protein synthesis of a protein fated to be exported from the cell.
What is DNA --> Nucleus --> Ribosome --> Golgi --> Vesicle --> Cell membrane
Temperature, pH, and substrate concentration all effect this.
What is enzyme activity.
These are the stages of mitosis.
What are Pro, Prometa, Meta, Ana, and Telophases/Cytokinesis?
This is the process of splitting apart polymers into monomers.
What is hydrolysis?
Cell size is regulated (aka can't get too big) to keep this process as efficient as possible.
What is diffusion?
What is the active site?
Negative feedback helps to maintain this when a system is too far from a set point.
What is Homeostasis
These are the different levels of structure of a protein.
What are primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary?
This specialized protein is embedded in nearly all plasma membranes to increase the amount of water that is able to passively diffuse into and out of the cell.
What is aquaporin?
This is responsible for driving of ATP synthase to create ATP within the mitochondria.
What is electrochemical gradient?
This mechanism amplifies a response in biological organisms, moving the system further away from its set point.
What is positive feedback
This is the functional group located at the 3' end of DNA.
What is hydroxyl (OH)?
This theory states that the mitochondria and chloroplast evolved from once free-living, prokaryotic organisms.
What is the endosymbiotic theory?
This is defined as variation that better allows an organism to survive and reproduce in different environments.
What is fitness?
The inability of a cell to regulate the cell cycle can lead to this
What is cancer
