Photosynthesis
The products of photosynthesis.
What is Glucose and Oxygen?
This is the 'main' reactant which kick-starts the process of cellular respiration.
What is Glucose?
This part of the brain connects the nervous and endocrine systems by controlling the pituitary gland.
What is the hypothalamus?
This enzyme catalyzes the formation of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate during oxidative phosphorylation.
What is ATP synthase?
This RNA molecule carries amino acids to the ribosome during translation.
What is transfer RNA (tRNA)?
The process used to create G3P.
What is the Calvin Cycle?
What is acetyl-CoA joining with coenzyme A. The products are 1 NADH and CO2 (released)
The myelin gaps along a neuron’s axon, known as these nodes, allow for saltatory conduction.
What are nodes of Ranvier?
This specific structure in the nucleus is where ribosomal RNA is synthesized and ribosome assembly begins.
What is the nucleolus?
This enzyme unwinds the DNA double helix ahead of the replication fork to relieve tension during DNA replication.
What is DNA helicase?
Photosystem II and Photosystem I best absorb ___ and ___ kind of wavelengths respectively.
What is P680 and P700?
NADH and FADH2 go to these complexes respectively.
(Frame your answer like this:
What is complex __ (*name of complex*) and complex _ (*name of complex*)?
What is complex I (NADH dehydrogenase) and complex II (succinate dehydrogenase)?
The endocrine system involves this organ which produces a hormone that reduces calcium excretion in the Kidneys.
What is the parathyroid gland?
The fluid mosaic model describes membranes as flexible bilayers composed of these two major components.
What are phospholipids and proteins?
During transcription, this sequence signals RNA polymerase where to start copying DNA.
What is the promoter region?
In terms of photosynthesis types related to how plants fix carbon, this plant adaptation is different from the rest; doing the calvin cycle in the ____ cell.
What is the Bundle Sheath cell?
Instead of being used for respiration, this molecule can be used for a different process when oxygen is low.
Bonus: What is the process called?
(Frame your answer like this:
What is ____? and what is ____?
What is Pyruvate? and what is Fermentation?
This negative‐feedback loop maintains blood osmolarity by regulating ADH release and water reabsorption.
What is the ADH (antidiuretic hormone) negative‐feedback loop?
This polysaccharide, composed of β-glucose monomers, forms plant cell walls and is indigestible to humans.
What is cellulose?
This term describes a change in a single nucleotide base in DNA.
What is a point mutation?
Photsynthesis depends on the "life enzyme" (_______) , but when temperatures increase beyond the optimal range for the enzyme, the enzyme _______.
What is Rubisco and Denatures?
Inhibition of Complex IV causes NADH to accumulate, which allosterically inhibits 'this' Krebs cycle enzyme, leading to citrate buildup and subsequent feedback inhibition of phosphofructokinase in glycolysis.
(Bonus marks if you can explain what allosteric means)
What is isocitrate dehydrogenase?
This specific mechanism in the nephron’s ascending limb actively transports ions out but not water, creating a countercurrent multiplier that enables the kidney to produce concentrated urine.
What is active transport of Na⁺, K⁺, and Cl⁻ in the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle (countercurrent multiplier system)?
This cellular process involves the synthesis of lipids and detoxification of drugs, and occurs primarily in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum due to the absence of ribosomes.
What is lipid synthesis and detoxification in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
These sequences at the ends of linear chromosomes protect DNA from degradation but shorten with each replication.
What are telomeres?
