Unit 1: Biochemistry
The word that describes a single molecule
What is monomer
The part of the cell that directs all cell activity, known as the control center of the cell
What is the nucleus
The two types of transport a cell uses are
What is active and passive transport
What do enzymes lower to speed up chemical reactions?
What is activation energy?
During this phase of the cell cycle, the cell replicates its DNA
What is the S phase of interphase?
The process that removes a molecule of water to build monomers into polymers
What is dehydration synthesis
Organelles that make protein
What is ribosomes
This type of transport requires energy and moves substances from low to high concentration using a protein pump
What is active transport
Which step of cellular respiration produces two pyruvate molecules?
What is glycolysis
The purpose of mitosis
What is growth and repair
The four macromolecules are
What is carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids
Organelles that produce ATP (energy) for the cell
What is mitochondria
Describe facilitated diffusion
What is passive transport, from high to low concentration, through a protein channel
What are NAD, FAD, and NADP+?
What is electron carriers
What happens during anaphase 1 of meiosis?
What is homologous chromosomes separate?
What is carbohydrates and short term energy in plants
Organelles that absorb sunlight to produce sugars are called
What is chloroplasts
This is the term used to describe the substance that is dissolved in a solution
What is solute
Which step of cellular respiration turns CO2 into sugar?
What is the Calvin Cycle
The types of cells that meiosis produces have half the amount of chromosomes they started with and are known as
What is haploid?
What type of macromolecule are steroids
What is lipid
These organelles digest invaders and old cell parts
What is lysosome
What is hypotonic.
What is the sources of electrons in the electron transport chain of the light reaction in photosynthesis?
