Photosynthesis
Used for the transportation of different molecules across cell membranes.
ATP
What is the powerhouse of the cell?
Mitochondria
The physical process of cell division, which divides the cytoplasm of a parental cell into two daughter cells
Cytokinesis
Alleles
An archipelago in Ecuador
Galapagos Islands
The compound that gives plants their green color
Chlorophyll
A series of protein complexes and other molecules that transfer electrons from electron donors to electron acceptors via redox reactions and couples this electron transfer with the transfer of protons across a membrane.
Electron Transport Chain
Form a protein structure that divides the genetic material in a cell
Spindle Fibers
The passing on of physical or mental characteristics genetically from one generation to another.
Heredity
An 1800th century naturalist and geologist who is known for his theory of natural selection
The process that plants use to make food
Photosynthesis
A series of biochemical reactions to release the energy stored in nutrients through the oxidation of acetyl-CoA derived from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.
Krebs cycle
The third stage of mitosis
Anaphase
The genetic makeup of an organism
Genotype
The act of changing something or changing your behavior to make it suitable for a new purpose or situation
Adaption
A part of the cell membrane where photosynthesis takes place
Thylakoid
A chemical your body produces when your cells break down carbohydrates for energy
Lactic Acid
The process during which the formation of the body's largest cell takes place
Oogenesis
Developed three principles of inheritance that described the transmission of genetic traits, before anyone knew genes existed.
Gregor Mendel
A mechanism of evolution
Natural selection
The movement of ions across a semipermeable membrane bound structure, down their electrochemical gradient
Chemiosmosis
A process that breaks down glucose into energy
Glycolysis
The process by which sperm cell production occurs
Spermatogenesis
A square diagram that is used to predict the genotypes of a particular cross or breeding experiment
Punnett Square
Features of different species that are similar in function but not necessarily in structure and which do not derive from a common ancestral feature
Analogous structures
