Full name of the pituitary hormone called FSH.
What is follicle stimulating hormone?
100
Processed mRNA passes through this membrane before being translated.
What is the nuclear membrane?
100
This ATP generating process requires oxygen.
What is chemiosmosis?
100
The highly regulated process of programmed cell death.
What is apoptosis?
200
Full name of the E.T.C. - crucial in oxidative phosphorylation.
What is the electron transport chain?
200
Following depolarization of a neuron, these membrane proteins cause the "undershoot" just prior to restoration of resting potential.
What are voltage gated potassium channels?
200
This pigment resides within photosynthetic reaction centers.
What is chlorophyll?
200
The protein that contributes to cellular resting potential by moving ions across the cell membrane AGAINST their concentration gradients.
What is the Na+/K+ ATPase (pump)?
300
Affectionately known as E.R., this cellular structure can be rough or smooth.
What is endoplasmic reticulum?
300
These membranes are critical in the light dependent photosynthetic reactions.
What are thylakoids?
300
CO2 is a by product of this anaerobic pathway.
What is (alcohol) fermentation?
300
These RNA sequences are removed from transcripts before translation.
What are introns?
400
NMJ stands for this location - important in the one way relay of information from a neuron to a muscle fiber.
What is the Neuro Muscular Junction?
400
Lipids of this type give cell membranes their negative charge.
What are phospholipids?
400
The ultimate electron donor in the photosynthetic pathway.
What is water?
400
Packed with hemoglobin, these cells transport oxygen throughout the body.
What are red blood cells (erythrocytes)?
500
RuBisCO is the nickname of this carbon fixing pathway enzyme.
What is Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase oxygenase?
500
This organelle - bound by a single membrane - is primarily involved in protein modification.
What is the Golgi?
500
This enzyme is critical in the regulation of the glycolytic pathway.
