CELL BIOLOGY
The portion of a cell that contains the genetic material.
What is the nucleus?
This special property of water allows a spider to walk on water.
High Surface Tension
Starting with DNA, what is the sequence of molecules that, in order, results in a protein?
DNA -> mRNA -> amino acid
This is the the phase that the cell is in for the majority of its life. During this phase, chromatin is present.
What is INTERPHASE
This process requires oxygen and creates ATP in the inner membrane of the mitochondria.
What is the ELECTRON TRANSPORT CHAIN
The powerhouse of the cell, generates ATP through the Kreb Cycle
What is the mitochondria?
What is the monomer of a carbohydrate?
What is MONOSACCHARIDE
The process of converting DNA into mRNA
What is transcription?
This phase aligns the chromosomes down the center plate before moving away from their sister chromatids.
What is METAPHASE
This pigment converts solar energy to chemical energy in the form of ATP for the light dependent reaction of photosynthesis.
What is CHLOROPHYLL
An organelle that produces protein from mRNA
What is the ribosome?
This type of cellular transport requires energy to move from a low concentration to a high concentration.
What is ACTIVE TRANSPORT
The class of mutation resulting from adding OR removing a nucleotide from the sequence and is particularly disastrous to protein synthesis.
What is a frameshift.
This is the name of the female gamete
What is an EGG
This enzyme is used to unzip a double helix for replication.
What is HELICASE
An organelle used to package, store and ship products of the cell
What is the Golgi apparatus
This macromolecule is responsible for making up a large part of the cell membrane.
What are LIPIDS
Name the START codon and the three STOP codons.
START - AUG
STOP - UAG, UAA, UGA
This phase is where chromosomes are fully visible and the nuclear envelope disappears.
What is PROPHASE
This organelle is responsible for linking amino acids together to form proteins.
What is a RIBOSOME
an organelle filled with enzymes that assists with breaking down of waste in the cell.
What is a lysosome?
This type of molecule acts as a catalyst to speed up reactions.
What is an ENZYME?
You are given the following DNA strand:
TAC TTA GGC GAT TAG CAA CTT ACT
The strand is mutated in the following way:
TAC TTA GGC GAT TAG CAG CTT ACT
What type of mutation is this? Include both the change in nucleotides AND how it affects the amino acid.
Substitution & Silent
This term represents two chromosomes of the same size and are that are coded for the same alleles.
What are HOMOLOGOUS CHROMOSOMES
These are the three organelles that are found ONLY in plant cells.
What is CHLOROPLAST, CELL WALL, CENTRAL VACUOLE
