Life and the Non-Living
non-living; air, water, rocks
Name a macromolecule
protein, carb, lipid, nucleic acid
This is an organelle found in plant cells and not animal cells
chloroplast; cell wall
Using the symbol "A/a" write out the genotype for a homozygous recessive individual.
aa
Daily Double: what would the DNA be for this mRNA: AUGCAACGUAGG
TACGTTGCATCC
Which layer of Earth is the most-dense?
Inner core
Enzymes aid chemical reactions by
Lowering the amount of energy that needs to be added to the system
the primary function of ribosomes is to
make proteins
These are made at the end of translation
Proteins
Lose points if you get it wrong: This organelle holds the genetic material
What is the nucleus?
What causes tectonic plates to move?
The three main parts of cellular respiration are:
glycolysis, krebs cycle/citric acid cycle, electron transport chain
a difference between active and passive transport in cells is. . .
active requires ATP and moves molecules against their concentration gradient; passive transport does not require ATP and moves in the direction of concentration gradient
These nitrogenous bases pair to each other in DNA; and in RNA ________ is added instead of _______.
A-T; C-G; U, T
What is a silent mutation?
Lichens, a combination of algae and fungi, produce a weak acid that can dissolve and have a profound effect on rock. This is an example of
chemical weathering
noncompetitive inhibition changes the shape of the enzyme through:
Binding at a site that isn’t the active site
This happens to an animal cell in a hypertonic solution
What is shrivels?
The site the RNA Polymerase binds to
what is the promoter
First group to answer only: This structure in the cell membrane makes it more rigid
What is cholesterol?
The Himalayas were formed as a result of tectonic forces driving the Indian and Eurasian Plates towards each other, resulting in mountain formation. This is an example of a ____________ boundary.
electrons end up here at the end of the electron transport chain
Combine with oxygen to make water
At the end of meiosis I, there are ________ (number) cells, which are _________ (haploid or diploid) with sister chromatids still combined. At the end of meiosis II there are ___________ (number) cells, which are _______________ (haploid or diploid) without sister chromatids.
What is 2 haploid, and 4 haploid?
The difference between DNA Polymerase III and DNA Polymerase I is. . . .
DNA Polymerase III adds new nucleotides, DNA Polymerase I replaces RNA primers with DNA nucleotides
Daily Double: name and describe 3 types of RNA
mRNA: carries the message of the DNA code
rRNA: makes up the ribosome
tRNA: carries the amino acids to the ribosome
