Biochemistry
What is considered basic on the pH scale?
Above 7 to 14
This is a piece of single-stranded nucleic acid
What is RNA?
This is the function of the mitochondria specifically
Don’t just say mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell
Must specify that mitochondria is the site of cellular respiration (ATP being made)
This is an alternate form of cellular respiration that occurs during low oxygen levels and produces ethanol is a byproduct
What is alcoholic fermentation?
What does anaerobic cellular respiration?
ATP is an acronym for this
What is adenosine triphosphate?
These are the four macromolecules of life
What are proteins lipids, nucleic acids carbohydrates
This is what comprises the backbone of a DNA molecule
What are alternating sugar phosphate?
This is a form of passive transport or molecules, travel from an area of high concentration to low concentration
What is diffusion?
this is the net amount of products produced during glycolysis
What is 2 ATP, 2NADH and 2 pyruvate
This term refers to the process of producing ATP by moving electrons across the gradient, which spins the ATP synthase
What is chemiosmosis
This comprises the backbone of a DNA molecule
What is a sugar phosphate?
This is the term used to describe the fact that one DNA molecules runs 5’ to 3’ while the other runs 3’ to 5’
What is anti-parallel?
this term can refer to a solution who has relatively low solute concentration
What is hypotonic?
if a red blood cell was placed in a hypotonic solution, it should swell up since the water wants to diffuse from the area of high concentration to low concentration, which technically would be the inside of the cell
Oxidation of this compound turns it into pyruvic acid in the first step of cellular respiration
what is glucose?
This is the final electron acceptor at photosystem 1 and takes the electrons to the Calvin cycle
What is NADP+
This is an atom that has a net charge
What is an ion?
These are the terms used to refer to the distance on a chromosome between two genes
What is the map unit?
which is also equal to a one percent recombination frequency
This organelle produces proteins for secretion
What is the rough endoplasmic reticulum?
During cellular respiration oxidation of this molecule, with the addition of hydrogen, becomes a water molecule
what is oxygen?
this is the yellow orange pigment present and leaves that can be found alongside chlorophyll.
This is from one of our labs, the correct answer is
what are carotenoids
This is the element present in all organic compounds
What is carbon?
This the term used to describe what happens when a bacteria takes up external DNA and incorporates it into its genome
What is transformation?
This organelle is responsible for producing ribosomes
What is the nucleolus?
You will need to know all the functions of the parts of the cell
Accepting electrons at the end of the electron transport chain is the job of this molecule during cellular respiration
what is oxygen?
this action is used to create a proton gradient inside the thylakoid during photosynthesis
What are electrons passing through the photosystems?
