The study of living things
What is biology?
Essential structural components of body tissues; enzymes help speed up chemical reactions
What is protein?
Cell with organelles and a true nucleus.
What is eukaryotic?
Transport that requires energy.
What is active transport?
Specialized proteins.
What are enzymes?
The body's ability to keep its internal conditions stable
What is homeostasis?
Store long term energy, provide waxy coating for plant leaves, make up hormones and steroids
What is lipid?
Anything that causes disease or illness.
What is a pathogen?
Transport that moves with the concentration gradient.
What is passive transport?
Uses a DNA strand as a template to create a new strand.
What is DNA polymerase?
When the body encourages a change to continue, thereby taking it farther from its normal point.
What is positive feedback?
Store energy and provide structural support in plants (cellulose), fungi, and arthropods
What is carbohydrate?
Cell without a true nucleus or organelles.
What is prokaryotic?
The passive transport of water across a semipermeable membrane.
What is osmosis?
How molecules that are too large to be moved through the cell membrane are transported into the cell.
What is endocytosis?
When the body reverses a change in its internal environment to to keep levels at a normal level.
What is negative feedback?
Stores genetic information in the molecules DNA and RNA
What are nucleic acids?
Infects a bacteria.
What is bacteriophage?
Moving substances from high concentrations to low concentrations.
What is diffusion?
Enzyme that separates the hydrogen bonds in DNA in order to unzip the DNA double helix.
What is DNA helicase?
All the chemical reactions that occur in an organism.
What is metabolism?
The building blocks of proteins.
What are amino acids?
A marker protein on the surface of a cell that enables a person's immune system to distinguish its cell from those of invading cells.
What is a gloycoprotein?
When a code for a protein is written from an original set of instructions
What is transcription?
When a polypeptide chain is created at the ribosome by reading a code.
What is translation?
