Macromolecules
These are the 4 macromolecules.
What are lipids, carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids?
This organelle is the powerhouse of the cell.
What is the mitochondria?
This is cell transport, but with water.
What is osmosis?
This process converts energy from the sun to make organic food molecules.
What is photosynthesis?
This is the name for a change in DNA.
What is a mutation?
This is the function of carbohydrates.
What is short term energy?
This organelle is non-living, but it acts as a filter for things getting into the cell or for structure.
What is a cell wall?
The way that particles spread if allowed to spread naturally.
What is high to low concentration?
This process breaks down food molecules to create energy currency for the cell.
What is cellular respiration?
This is the biological process of using DNA as a template to produce complementary mRNA strands.
What is transcription?
These are the monomers of proteins.
What are amino acids?
This organelle is responsible for folding proteins into their finished form, and connects from the nucleus to the cell membrane.
What is the endoplasmic reticulum?
A type of cell transport that moves WITH the concentration gradient.
What is passive transport?
This anatomical structure of plants allows CO2 to enter, and Oxygen to leave a plant.
What is a stomata?
This molecule is responsible for bringing in the correct amino acid for a polypeptide chain.
What is tRNA?
These elements are what make up nucleic acids.
What is CHONP?
Organelles must work together to maintain this.
What is homeostasis?
This type of cell transport happens when a vesicle fuses with the cell membrane to let something out.
What is exocytosis?
This is where plants get the mass they need to grow.
What is Carbon Dioxide in the air?
These are portions of mRNA that are edited out of the draft strand and are NOT expressed.
What are introns?
This is the process that joins monomers together to form polymers.
What is dehydration synthesis?
What is a prokaryotic cell?
If a cell was placed in this type of solution, then the cell would swell and possibly explode.
What is a hypotonic solution?
This is where the light dependent reaction takes place.
What is the thylakoid?
This is the type of bond that is formed between amino acids during translation.
What is a polypeptide bond?
