Back to Biomolecules
This biomolecule acts as a biological catalyst and is composed of amino acids.
What are proteins?
What is hypertonic?
The products of photosynthesis.
What are carbohydrates (usually in the form of glucose) and oxygen?
The name for the phase of mitosis where chromosomes are aligned in the middle
What is metaphase?
The longest phase of the cell cycle.
What is interphase?
This biomolecule is the product of photosynthesis and used for quick energy during cellular respiration.
What are carbohydrates?
The name of the solution where the concentration of solute is the same inside and outside of the cell.
What is isotonic?
Where cellular respiration occurs.
What is the mitochondria?
The name for the phase of mitosis where chromosomes begin to pull away from each other to form separate cells.
What is anaphase?
The name of the disease that results from an overgrowth of cells due to an error in the cell cycle.
What is cancer?
This biomolecule causes food high in starch to turn black when reacted with iodine (originally brown in color).
What are carbohydrates (specifically complex carbohydrates)
The name given to the substance that solutes are dissolved in.
What is a solvent?
The pigment in plants that allows light energy to be captured and used in photosynthesis.
What is chlorophyll?
The name for the phase of mitosis where the chromosomes condense (becoming visible under a microscope) and the nuclear envelope starts to dissolve.
What is prophase?
DNA replication occurs in this phase of the cell cycle.
What is the S phase?
This biomolecule is the building block for polymers like DNA and RNA.
What are nucleic acids?
The type of transport that requires ATP to occur because it goes from an area of low concentration to high concentration.
What is active transport?
The first step of cellular respiration that occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell before entering the mitochondria
What is glycolysis?
The phase of mitosis where the cells separate into 2 distinct cells.
What is telophase?
The phase before mitosis where the cell grows and creates necessary proteins.
What is G2?
The biomolecule that acts as a channel within the cell membrane to allow different molecules and substances into and out of the cell.
What are proteins?
The term given for any transport that involves the movement of water across a membrane.
What is osmosis?
The name for anaerobic respiration that occurs in the human body when it is low on oxygen (this can happen during strenuous exercise)
What is fermentation?
The name of Krum High School's mascot
What is the bobcats?
Cell membrane splits the cytoplasm, separating into two cells
What is cytokinesis?
