biomolecules
This simple sugar is the main energy source for most living organisms.
glucose
The monomers, or building blocks, of proteins.
amino acids
Glucose belongs to this group of biomolecules.
carbohydrates
When oxygen is available, glucose is broken down in this type of respiration.
aerobic
The net movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration without using cellular energy.
diffusion
Carbohydrates are made up of these three elements.
Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen
Proteins are made on this organelle in the cell.
ribosomes
The process that forms glucose in autotrophs.
photosynthesis
A chemical reaction involves breaking and forming these.
chemical bonds OR bonds
The general type of transport that moves substances against their concentration gradient, requiring a direct energy input.
active transport
Lipids form this essential structure in cells.
cell membrane
Proteins with different functions have different ________.
shapes OR amino acid sequences OR amino acids
The process that breaks down glucose to release energy.
cellular respiration
The substances formed at the end of a chemical reaction.
products
The specific type of passive transport concerning the movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane.
osmosis
Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen from sugar molecules may combine with other elements such as nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorus to form these two biomolecules.
proteins and nucleic acids
These proteins act as biological catalysts that speed up reactions.
enzymes
The transfer of glucose in an autotroph's cell is from the _______________ organelle to the _____________ organelle to be turned into ATP energy.
chloroplast to mitochondria
During aerobic respiration, one molecule of glucose can produce about this many ATP molecules.
36-38 ATP
The structure in an onion cell that prevents it from bursting, unlike a blood cell
cell wall
Hemoglobin, enzymes, and antibodies are all examples of this biomolecule.
proteins
What two factors can cause proteins, like enzymes, to change shape?
pH(acid or base) and high temperature
Glucose in plants can be converted into this polysaccharide for energy storage.
starch
This three-carbon compound is the acidic byproduct that accumulates in your muscle cells during a strenuous sprint.
lactic acid
distilled water or 100% water
