Cellular respiration
What is glucose?
This simple sugar is the main fuel used during cellular respiration.
What is the interphase ?
This is the period when a cell grows and performs its normal functions.
What is transcription?
This process copies DNA into RNA.
What is diffusion?
The movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to low concentration.
What is a gene?
The basic unit of heredity passed from parents to offspring.
What is cellular respiration?
This process converts glucose into ATP, the cell's usable energy.
What is the S phase?
During this phase, DNA is replicated.
What is DNA?
This molecule contains the genetic instructions for an organism.
What is the cell membrane?
This structure controls what enters and leaves the cell.
What is DNA?
This molecule contains the genetic instructions for living organisms.
What is ATP?
The molecule that stores and transfers energy in cells.
What is mitosis?
This process results in two genetically identical daughter cells.
What is translation?
This process uses mRNA to build a protein.
What is osmosis?
The diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane.
What are alleles?
Different versions of the same gene are called these.
What is the mitochondrion?
This organelle is the primary site of cellular respiration in eukaryotic cells.
What is metaphase?
This phase of mitosis is when chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell.
What is RNA
The Central Dogma describes the flow of information from DNA to this molecule and then to protein.
What is active transport?
This type of transport requires energy from ATP.
What is heterozygous?
An organism with two different alleles for a trait is described by this term.
What is oxygen?
This gas is required for aerobic cellular respiration.
What is anaphase?
During this phase, sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles of the cell.
Who is Francis Crick?
This scientist is credited with proposing the Central Dogma.
What is phagocytosis?
During this process, a cell engulfs large particles by wrapping its membrane around them.
What is heterozygous?
An organism with two different alleles for a trait is described by this term.
