This biological process metabolizes pyruvate to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, flavin adenine dinucleotide, and adenosine triphosphate.
What is the Krebs Cycle?
100
The phase of mitosis where cells spend most of their life.
What is interphase?

These diagrams are used to show the probability that certain phenotypes are inherited in the offspring based on the parents genotypes.
What are Punnett squares?
200
They are the two nucleotides that are not shared between RNA and DNA.
What are uracil and thymine?
200
This layer protects the internal workings of a cell from the harsh world outside
What is the phospholipid bilayer?
200
These organisms are able to produce their own supply of food, mostly through photosynthesis.
What are autotrophs?
200
This process is analogous to mitosis, but is found in prokaryotic organisms.
What is binary division?
200
These regions of RNA do not code for any proteins and are removed by splicing
What are entrons?
300
A part of a process that is not affected by other parts.

These sac-like membranes are organized in stacks called grana.
What are thylakoid membranes?

This process creates the sperm and egg cells from normal diploid cells.
What is gametogenesis?
300
These phenotypes or genotypes are controlled by more than one gene, leading to the possibility that it has two or more alleles.

This fluid fills the space between the thylakoid membranes.
