Cells
The powerhouse of the cell
Mitochondria
The type of bond formed via condensation reactions
The genetic material of a cell
DNA
The coolest cell line to have ever existed
HeLa (Forever indebted to Henrietta Lacks)
Two things found exclusively in plant cells
Cell wall and chloroplasts
Associated with energy
Carbohydrates
These elements make up this macromolecule: C, H, O, N
Protein
The fundamental unit of life
The cell
The protein in red blood cells which carries oxygen throughout the body via the bloodstream
Hemoglobin
What is the cell membrane made of? (think of the macromolecules)
Lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates
Makes up DNA and RNA
Nucleic acids
The kind of bond in between each strand of DNA
Hydrogen bonds
Two main groups to classify cells
Eukaryotes and prokaryotes
True or False: Is spontaneous generation possible?
False
A major organelle in all eukaryotic cells
The macromolecule responsible for insulation
Lipids
Accounts for 70% of cell mass (hits different after a workout)
H20/water
The fluid which fills cells
Cytoplasm
The word to describe hydrophobic heads and hydrophilic tails in cell membranes
Amphipathic
This lipid has kinks caused by double bonds
Unsaturated fat
A strong bond found only in the tertiary and quaternary structures of proteins (think sulfhydryl)
Disulfide bond
The organelle where protein synthesis takes place
Ribosomes
The OG of genetics (think of peas)
Gregor Mendel
