Biochemistry
Function is long term energy storage and insulation
Lipid
Which organelle produces protein?
Ribosome
Which types of cells perform cellular respiration?
All living things- Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic cells
What type of mutation occurs when a base is either added or deleted?
Frameshift
During which phase of the cell cycle does the cell grow and prepare for division?
Interphase
What is the monomer of Proteins
Amino Acids
What is the difference between a Eukaryotic and a Prokaryotic cell?
Prokaryotic lacks a nucleus and other membrane bound organelles
What is the function of a stomata?
pore that allows oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water vapor to enter and exit
What type of enzyme unzips the DNA so that it can be replicated?
Helicase
Which type of cell division produces identical cells?
What are the 3 parts of a nucleotide
Phosphate, Sugar, Base
What 3 things are found in all cells?
Ribosomes, Cell Membrane, Cytoplasm, DNA
What is the difference between a vascular and a non-vascular plant?
Vascular Plants have Xylem and Phloem
Non-vascular- no specialized tissues
What type of RNA brings amino acids to the ribosome so that a protein can be assembled?
What is crossing over? and during which type of division does it occur?
When homologous pairs exchange DNA
It occurs during Meiosis
Which type of carb is used for energy storage in animal cells?
Glycogen
Which type of transport moves substances from a low concentration to a high concentration?
Active
What is the equation for photosynthesis?
Carbon Dioxide + Water + Sunlight --> Oxygen + Glucose
What happens during transcription and where does it occur in the cell?
DNA is transcribed into mRNA- it occurs in the nucleus
What is the product of Meiosis?
Describe how many and the type of cells produced.
4 cells, all genetically diverse
What elements do Nucleic Acids and Proteins have in common?
Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen
It will swell because water will move into the fish through osmosis
What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration? How many ATP are produced during both?
Aerobic- with oxygen-- 36 ATP
Anaerobic- without oxygen-- 2 ATP
Give a detailed description of how a transgenic organism is created.
DNA is combined from two different organisms with the help of restriction enzymes. Usually a plasmid is used. Recombinant DNA is then inserted back into cell
A karyotype shows that a person has Down Syndrome. Describe what went wrong.
Nondisjunction- either homologous pairs or sister chromatids do not separate correctly during Meiosis
