Chemistry of Life
This type of bond occurs between water molecules.
What are hydrogen bonds?
This is commonly referred to as the powerhouse of the cell.
What is Mitochondria?
What is the fluid mosaic model?
This is the first step in cellular respiration.
What is glycolysis.
These are the smaller membrane-bound organelles within the chloroplast.
What are thylakoids?
This is the most commonly used organic molecule.
What is Carbon?
This organelle is the active site of photosynthesis.
What is the chloroplast?
These macromolecules are commonly dispersed throughout the cell membrane.
What are proteins?
This is the primary molecule used for energy within the cell.
What is ATP?
These are the types of light absorbed by plants.
What is violet and red light?
These are the four types of biological macromolecules.
What are carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids?
This specialized vacuole is filled with enzymes that beak down macromolecules.
What is the lysosome?
Molecules with these characteristics can freely diffuse through the cell membrane.
What are small, nonpolar, hydrophobic molecules.
This is the final electron acceptor in the citric acid cycle.
What is Oxygen?
This is the primary location for the light reactions.
What is Photosystem II?
This is the base level of protein shape.
What is primary structure?
This organelle ensures that new proteins are properly structured.
What is the golgi complex?
This is the uptake of molecules through vesicles.
What is endocytosis?
These two molecules serve to transport electrons to the citric acid cycle.
What are NADH and FADH2?
These are the three steps of the Calvin Cycle.
What are carbon fixation, reduction, and regeneration of RuBP?
This process bonds two monomers by the removal of H2O.
What is a dehydration reaction?
This organelle metabolizes lipids and synthesizes membranes.
What is the endoplasmic reticulum?
What are electrogenic pumps?
These are the two types of respiration without oxygen.
What are anaerobic respiration and fermentation?
This protein catalyzes the production of ATP.
What is ATP Synthase?
