Chapter 1
A unique type of organism
What is a Species
The nucleus of an atom is occupied by these two sub-atomic particles
What are Protons and Neutrons
Double membraned organelle responsible for ATP production via aerobic respiration in eukaryotes
What is the mitochondria
This flows in one direction through the biosphere, starting mainly from the sun. also known as the capacity to do work.
What is energy
These are the starting materials for photosynthesis
What is H2O and CO2
A substance that an organism must acquire from the environment to support growth and survival
What is a nutrient
The number of protons in an atoms core; defines the element
What is an atomic number
This organelle synthesizes lipids, metabolizes carbohydrates, and detoxifies drugs and poisons
What is the smooth endoplasmic reticulum
The minimum amount of energy required to start a chemical reaction
What is activation energy
Plant pore where CO2 enters and O2 exits
What are stomata
A rank in the classification of life, consisting of a group of organisms that share a unique set of traits
What is a taxon
The strongest chemical bond
What is an ionic bond
An enzyme filled vesicle responsible for breaking down particles such as cellular debris
What is a lysosome
A chemical reaction in which an enzyme attaches a phosphate group to an organic molecule
What is phosphorylation
Interconnected membranous sacs suspended in the stroma. Their stacks are likened to pancakes.
What are Thylakoids
Refers to a result that is statistically very unlikely to have occurred by chance alone
What is statistically Significant
(Blank)'s are made by stringing together many smaller molecules called (Blank)'s, like proteins and amino acids.
What are polymers and monomers
(Bank)'s are not cells; however, they do sabotage cells.
What are viruses
The pressure that a fluid exerts against a structure that contains it
What is turgor pressure
The light reaction of photosynthesis produces ATP, (Blank), and Oxygen
What is NADPH
He standardized the two-part naming system
Who is carl Linnaeus
This substance is like "animal starch" and is used to store energy. It is broken down to release glucose when you need energy.
What is glycogen
This part of the cell controls the beating of cilia and flagella
What are microtubules
This is a regulatory mechanism in which a reactions products slow or stop a pathway that produces it.
What is feedback inhibition
This process functions like a sugar factory, and regenerates the starting material with each turn
What is the Calvin Cycle
