Organelles
Organelle that produces ATP.
What is the Mitochrondria?
A trait that is expressed when one allele is present.
What is dominant?
Process plants use to make glucose.
What is photosynthesis?
Monomers of proteins.
What are amino acids?
Type of organism that reproduces by binary fission.
What are bacteria?
The structure that controls what enters and exits the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
Device used to predict the outcome of genetic crosses.
What is a Punnett square?
Organelle where aerobic respiration occurs.
What is the mitochondrion?
Molecules made of long chains of glucose.
What are polysaccharides?
Nonliving particle that requires a host cell.
What is a virus?
Organelle responsible for packaging and modifying proteins.
What is the Golgi apparatus?
Chromosome number in human gametes.
What is 23?
The molecule that stores and transfers cellular energy.
What is ATP?
Type of bond formed when electrons are shared.
What is a covalent bond?
Spiral-shaped bacteria.
What are spirilla?
The site of photosynthesis inside a plant cell.
What is the chloroplast?
The principle stating allele pairs separate independently during gamete formation.
What is the Law of Independent Assortment?
Enzymes work by lowering this.
What is activation energy?
Lipids are mainly used for this biological function.
What is long-term energy storage / insulation?
Viral cycle in which viral DNA integrates into the host genome.
What is the lysogenic cycle?
Explain why cells must remain small.
What is to maintain a high surface-area-to-volume ratio for efficient transport?
Explain the difference between crossing over and independent assortment.
Crossing over exchanges DNA and independent assortment randomly distributes genes
Explain why enzymes are “substrate-specific.”
Their active sites have unique shapes that bind only certain molecules.
Explain why water is considered a polar molecule.
It has uneven charge distribution, with oxygen slightly negative and hydrogen slightly positive.
One reason viruses are not considered living.
What is can't reproduce without a host (carry out metabolism without a host or produce energy without a host)
