What is an Enzyme?
Proteins that act as a catalyst for biochemical reactions.
100
When water sticks to itself it is called...
Cohesion
100
What is the cell cycle?
It is a series of steps where chromosomes and other cell make a copie.
100
What is Photosynthesis?
Light that is transformed into energy, used in plants
100
Carbon Cycle
200
what is this?
Lock and Key
200
What is Adhesion?
Water stick to other objects
200
What is the longest part of the cell cycle?
interphase
200
What takes place in the stroma of the chloroplast?
Light-Independent
200
This is a cycle within the atmosphere where plants, animals and more are a part of to create a balanced system. What cycle is it?
Carbon Cycle
300
What is inhibition?
The process where enzyme activity is slowed down, regulated, or negatively affected.
300
What is it called when charges are not evenly spread between atoms?
Polarity
300
What are the 6 phases of mitosis?
1. Prophase
2. Prometaphase
3. Metaphase
4. Anaphase
5. Telophase
6. Cytokinesis
300
What is Light-Dependent?
It convert light energy into chemical energy.
300
What is carbon sink/carbon reservoir?
This is a natural way, sometimes artificial way of saying or reservoir and storing the atmosphere's carbon with physical and biological mechanisms.
400
What part of the enzyme is where the substrate binds?
Active site
400
Why can some bugs walk on water? (explain)
Surface tension, the water is bonded together and makes a force that is harder to break.
400
You know a cell is ready to divide when...
More enzymes are created, DNA is replicated, centrioles duplicated (animal cells)
400
How do pigments, like chlorophyll, help the process of photosynthesis?
Chlorophyll helps the plant take in light and then get it transferred to energy.
400
What are 4 processes that transform and process carbon into different reservoirs?
Photosynthesis, decomposition, respiration, and combustion
500
How do they work?
They bind to molecules that will kick off a chemical reaction, directly affect biochemical bonds, which creates new products.
500
What are all the properties of water?
polarity, solvent, cohesion, adhesion, surface tension, specific heat
500
What disease cells do not stop dividing and growing?
Cancer cells
500
Where do plants get energy at night?
They get energy from water and air that they will transfer into energy.
500
Coal, oil, natural gasses, and more are all examples of what?
Carbon sinks
