BioChemistry
Proteins are an example of an organic molecule. This element is in every organic molecule.
What is carbon?
This organ detoxifies the blood and makes bile salts.
What is the liver?
Cells that contain one circular chromosome (no nucleus), and have only ribosomes for organelles.
What are prokaryotic cells?
This process is the diffusion of water.
What is osmosis?
The shape of a DNA molecule.
What is a double helix?
DNA and RNA are examples of this macromolecule.
What are nucleic acids?
The location of gas exchange in the lung
What is the alveoli?
The part of the cell that stores DNA. Also the site of replication and transciption
What is the nucleus?
This process converts light energy to chemical energy.
What is photosynthesis?
The three parts of a DNA nucleotide
What are deoxyribose sugar, phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base?
The type of protein that speeds up chemical reactions inside the body.
What are enzymes?
The site of nutrient absorption
What is the small intestine (villi)?
The part of the cell where photosynthesis takes place
What is the chloroplast
This process moves molecules with the concentration gradient (from high to low), through a membrane protein.
What is facilitated diffusion?
A segment of DNA that codes for a specific trait/protein.
What is a gene?
This specific type of lipid molecule is the major component in the cell's membrane. It contains a polar phosphate head group, and nonpolar fatty acid tails.
What is a phospholipid?
The function of the Red Blood Cell
What carry oxygen?
The part of the cell where translation takes place and proteins are made
What is the ribosome?
This process divides the chromosomes of the cell resulting in 2 identical cells.
What is mitosis?
DNA replication is called _____ - ___________. This is why it results in a DNA molecule that has one old strand and one newly made strand.
This macromolecule is made up of monosaccharide monomers.
What are carbohydrates?
Explain how negative feedback will affect homeostasis
Negative feedback will counter effects that bring the body out of homeostasis
The part of the cell that digests unwated cellular material
What is the lysosome
This process breaks down sugar in the presence of oxygen to give energy to the cell.
What is cellular respiration?
The complementary base to Thymine
What is Adenine?
