Enzymes
You can usually tell it's an enzyme, if its name ends in this
What is -ase?
This is the purpose of mitosis
What is cloning cells?
In sequential order, these are the four stages of mitosis
What are glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, the Kreb's cycle, and the ETC?
This is the source of the energy required to perform photosynthesis
What is the Sun?
Monomers of DNA are added on this end of the nucleotide
What is activation energy?
Spindle attaches to this feature of a chromosome
What is the centromere?
These particles are needed to capture electrons and synthesize water at the end of mitosis
What are oxygen and protons?
Organisms that make energy through photosynthesis are known as this
What are producers/autotrophs?
Helicase unwinds the DNA double helix by doing this
What is disrupting hydrogen bonds?
If these conditions change dramatically, they can cause an enzyme to denature
What is pH and temperature?
Though often taught alongside mitosis, this process is separate from both mitosis and interphase
What is cytokinesis?
This molecule links pyruvate oxidation to the Kreb's cycle
What is acetyl-coA?
This is the chemical formula for photosynthesis
What is:
6 CO2 + 6 H2O + solar energy -->
C6H12O6 + 6 O2
These molecules are needed for synthesizing DNA (your answer must contain least 4 of the 6 we discussed)
What are nucleotides, helicase, primase, DNA polymerase, ligase and ATP?
This enzyme is responsible for ADP phosphorylation
What is ATP synthase?
Human nuclei contain this many pairs of sister chromatids at prometaphase
What is 46?
These molecules are made during pyruvate oxidation
What are CO2, acetyl-coA, and NADH?
ADP phosphorylation occurs during this step of photosynthesis
What is the light-dependent reaction?
This component of a nucleotide is at the 3' end and this is at the 5' end
What is an -OH and a phosphate group?
This enzyme, that functions best at very low pH, can be found in the stomach acid of mammals
What is pepsin?
Spindle is a specialized form of this structure
What are microtubules?
This molecule is the ultimate source of the electrons captured by electron carriers and brought to the ETC
What is glucose?
Carbon fixation describes this process
What is the conversion of gaseous CO2 to solid C6H12O6?
What is the opposite direction?
