THE CELL CYCLE
DNA/RNA/PROTEIN SYNTHESIS
PHOTOSYNTHESIS
CELLULAR RESPIRATION
100
A segment of DNA that codes for a protein.
What is a gene?
100
Phase of the cell cycle where DNA is replicated
What is interphase (S)?
100
the sugar found in RNA
What is ribose?
100
Energy source for photosynthesis
What is sunlight?
100
The process requiring oxygen in order to use food molecules to produce ATP.
What is aerobic respiration?
200
Haploid (n) cells produced by meiosis
What are gametes?
200
a structure that connects to the centromere and helps separate the chromosomes
What is a spindle fiber?
200
A base found in DNA but not RNA
What it thymine?
200
Stage of photosynthesis that uses light energy to produce the energy carriers ATP and NADPH
What are the light dependent reactions?
200
The organelle where respiration occurs.
What is the mitochondria?
300
Process including two divisions that results in genetic variation of sperm and egg.
What is Meiosis?
300
process used for growth, repair, and reproduction that produces diploid cells.
What is mitosis?
300
Subunit of a polypeptide brought to the ribosome by transfer RNA.
What is an amino acid?
300
The molecule produced from carbon dioxide in the light independent reaction of photosynthesis?
What is glucose (or carbohydrates)?
300
The first stage of respiration that occurs in the cytoplasm and produces pyruvic acid from glucose.
What is glycolysis?
400
pattern of inheritance in which the heterozygote exhibits BOTH colors. Example: A red flower and a white flower produce a red and white flower.
What is codominance?
400
the sister chromatids separate into individual chromosomes and are moved apart
What is anaphase?
400
It holds the genetic information
What is the fuction of DNA?
400
The light capturing pigment found in the chloroplast.
What is chlorophyll?
400
The stage of respiration producing the most ATP.
What is the electron transport chain?
500
Process used to insert genes of a human into bacteria in order to produce insulin.
What is genetic engineering
500
the cytoplasm pinches in half. each daughter cell has an identical set of chromosomes.
What is cytokinesis?
500
An important concept in Biology illustrating that phenotypes are determined in the following manner: DNA--> RNA--> Protein
What is the Central Dogma?
500
The gas produced in the light dependent reactions of photosynthesis.
What is oxygen?
500
The final electron acceptor in the Electron Transport Chain.
