Unit 1: Foundations of Life
This is supported by a larger body of evidence than a hypothesis and are generally core frameworks in science.
Theory
This type of mutation changes one amino acid in a protein sequence.
Missense mutation
This type of microscopy can visualize living cells, unlike its electron counterpart.
Light microscopy
This process in photosynthesis fixes carbon from the air to create sugars.
Calvin cycle
This phase of the cell cycle is when DNA replication occurs.
S phase
This subatomic particle determines an elements' atomic number.
Proton
These weak bonds hold complementary bases together in the DNA double helix.
Hydrogen bonds
This organelle is unique to plant cells and is responsible for photosynthesis.
Chloroplast
These protein complexes are embedded in the thylakoid membranes and are responsible for light harvesting and electron excitation.
Photosystems
This process physically separates daughter cells after mitosis or meiosis.
Cytokinesis
Water's high surface tension is best explained by these bonds among neighboring molecules.
Hydrogen bonds
RNA polymerase binds to this region of a gene to start transcription.
Promoter
This organelle breaks down bacteria after phagocytosis in WBCs.
Lysosome
This molecule gets oxidized during cellular respiration.
Glucose
These structure attach sister chromatids to the mitotic spindle.
Kinetochores
The intramolecular bond between oxygen and hydrogen in water is this type.
Polar covalent bond
The tRNA that sites in this site within the ribosome is generally attached to the growing polypeptide.
P site
This type of transport moves substances against their concentration gradient and requires a carrier protein.
Active transport
This molecule stores most of the energy from glucose after the citric acid cycle.
NADH
The phase of meiosis where crossing over occurs.
Prophase I
This monomer makes up DNA and RNA.
Nucleotide
This enzyme connect Okazaki fragments during DNA replication.
DNA ligase
This type of inhibitor binds to an enzyme at a site other than the active site.
Non-competitive inhibitor
This stage of cellular respiration can continue under fermentation conditions, even when oxygen is absent.
Glycolysis
This checkpoint ensures that all chromatids are properly attached to spindle fibers
M phase checkpoint
