Biomolecules
Double Jeopardy!
Made of many repeating monomers.
What is a polymer?
The most common molecule in the plasma membrane.
What is a phospholipid?
H2O
What is water?
The movement of molecules from a high concentration to a low concentration.
What is diffusion?
Stores genetic information in the form of DNA. The control center of the cell.
What is the nucleus?
Made of C, H, N, O and P. Stores cellular information to make a protein.
What is a nucleic acid?
Double Jeopardy:
The barrier around all cells. Aids in protection, cell transport, creating shape to the cell and controls what enters and leaves the cell.
What is the plasma membrane (cell membrane)?
The charge on oxygen due to the polar covalent bond between oxygen and hydrogen in a water molecule.
What is negative?
The movement of molecules WITH the use of energy.
What is active transport?
Contains ribosomes on the surface and is responsible for folding the protein.
What is the rough endoplasmic reticulum?
C12H22O11
What is a carbohydrate?
The ability for some molecules to enter while keeping others out.
What is selective permeability?
Double Jeopardy:
The bond formed when 2 or more atoms share electrons equally, therefore no charge develops on the molecule because it is neutral.
What is a nonpolar covalent bond?
Cell with a nucleus and membrane bound organelles.
What is a eukaryote?
The energy produced after cellular respiration.
What is ATP?
Made of glycerol and fatty acid chains (C and H) and used for long term energy storage.
What is a lipid?
The in-folding of the plasma membrane to bring in an extremely large molecule. Creates a storage vacuole inside of the cell. Type of active transport meaning it requires energy!
What is endocytosis?
Large molecule formed by the unequal sharing of electrons, taking on slight charges (polarity). This makes the molecule attracted to water.
What is hydrophilic?
Double Jeopardy:
A eukaryotic cell lacking a cell wall and chloroplasts.
What is an animal cell?
The process at the ribosome where RNA is read by the ribosome and amino acids are bonded together one-by-one to form a peptide chain (amino acid chain).
What is translation?
The most important atom in biology because it is the backbone of all biomolecules due to its ability to form 4 bonds with other atoms. The true definition of "organic."
What is carbon?
Large molecule that is the monomer of a much larger molecule known as starch (polymer). This molecule needs to enter the cell via a transport protein. It is produced by the chloroplasts in plants and is used by the mitochondria to make ATP.
What is glucose?
The loss of water to form a covalent bond.
What is dehydration synthesis (reaction)?
Assists during facilitated diffusion to move large, charged particles across the plasma membrane.
What is a transport protein?
Double Jeopardy:
The order of organelles involved in protein synthesis.
What is the nucleus, ribosome, rough endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus?
