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.
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 function of proteins
What are enzymes, antibodies, and make the cell run?
The site of nutrient absorption
What is the small intestine (villi)?
The part of the cell where photosynthesis takes place

The blood vessel that carries blood away from the heart to the body cells
What is an artery
The part of the cell where 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--bring it back to normal
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 part of the cell cycle when DNA is replicated
What is Interphase (S)?
