Bio-macromolecules
A molecule that is used as "energy currency" within the cellular environment. It is a nucleotide that can transfer energy by transferring a phosphate group.
What is ATP?
When insufficient oxygen is present the NADH formed during glycolysis is used to convert pyruvate molecules into this product. (It also causes a burning sensation in muscles that have utilized their available oxygen).
What is lactic acid/lactate?
The Tyrannosaurus in Tyrannosaurus rex.
What is the genus?
What is the control group?
What is a cell?
A key elemement in the endomembrane system this specialized lipid consists of a hydrophobic fatty acid tail and a hydrophilic head.
What is a phospholipid?
The amount of ATP that is produced from a single molecule of glucose that has undergone aerobic respiration within a cells mitochondria.
What is approximately 36-38 ATP molecules?
A community of bacterial species living together in a shared slime layer.
What is a biofilm?
This protein produces ATP through harnessing the proton gradient created via the electron transport chain aka oxidative phosphorylation.
What is ATP-synthase?
The main purpose of the cell membrane is to control what is allowed into or outside of the cell, what jelly-like mixture is contained within a cell?
What is the cytoplasm?
Often mistook for an organelle (it's not), this important protein is a key player in the central dogma of biology. It synthesizes proteins by "reading" an RNA sequence and producing a polypeptide.
What is a ribosome?
This biological catalyst lowers the activation energy of a chemical reaction. It's activity can be affected by temperature, pH and substrate concentration.
What is an Enzyme?
An insufficient sample size of a population can result in this type of error.
What is sampling error?
In the Citric Acid Cycle (Kreb's Cycle) this key reactant results in the formation of CO2, ATP, NADH and FADH2 as products.
What is Acetyl CoA (acetic acid)?
This organelle is part of the endomembrane system and helps process and package proteins and lipid molecules, especially proteins destined to be exported from the cell.
What is the golgi body?
This monomer consists of a phosphate group, a nitrogen base, and a pentose.
What is a nucleotide?
The place where an enzyme binds to a substrate.
What is the active site?
In organic chemistry a type of reaction in which two molecules are combined usually with the loss of a smaller molecule.
What is a condensation reaction?
What is glycolysis?
An organelle that is responsible for photosynthesis in plants.
What is a chloroplast?
The endomembrane system including the nucleus, golgi, ER etc. is primarily composed of this biomacromolecule.
What are lipids?
A chemical that is used to help maintain the pH of a system?
What is a buffer?
Protists are found in this domain.
What is eukaryotes?
What is diffusion?
Cells have to use this process, requiring ATP to work against a concentration gradient.
What is active transport?
