Cellular Respiration
This is the main sugar molecule that is broken down during cellular respiration to produce energy.
Glucose
This gas is a product of photosynthesis and is what humans breathe
Oxygen
This organelle is the control center of the cell, containing DNA
Nucleus
This type of muscle is responsible for voluntary movements and is attached to bones.
Skeletal muscle
What is the strongest type of bone tissue found in the outer layer of bones?
Compact bone
What is the first step of Cellular Respiration?
Glycolysis - converts glucose to 2 pyruvates
This molecule is the main source of energy for plants and other organisms
Glucose
This organelle is the site of protein synthesis
Ribosome
The process by which muscles generate energy without oxygen, producing lactic acid, is known as this.
anaerobic respiration
What type of joint allows for the widest range of motion, like in the shoulder?
Ball-&-socket joint
What final stage of cellular respiration.
Electron transport chain
Photosynthesis takes place in this organelle found in plant cells
Chloroplast
This organelle acts as the packaging and processing center of the cell
Golgi apparatus
Which type of muscle cell has more than one nucleus?
Skeletal muscle
What is the name for the flexible, rubbery tissue found at the ends of bones?
Cartilage
What is the 2nd stage of Cellular Respiration?
Citric Acid Cycle - completes breakdown of glucose, releases energy carrier molecuales NADH & FADH2 for next step
This green pigment absorbs light energy during photosynthesis
chlorophyll
These organelles are responsible for cellular respiration, producing ATP
Mitochondria
This muscle protein, along with myosin, plays an important role in the sliding filament theory of muscle contraction.
Actin
What type of bone cell is responsible for breaking down bone tissue?
osteoclast
Describe the role of proton gradients and ATP synthase in the electron transport chain of cellular respiration.
ETC uses the energy from electrons to pump protons out of the matrix, causing protons to re-enter the matrix through the ATP synthase enzyme while creating ATP
This molecule, along with water, is used as the source of electrons in photosynthesis
Carbon dioxide
This network of membranes is involved in protein and lipid synthesis and transport
endoplasmic reticulum
This protein, found in muscle fibers, binds to calcium to trigger muscle contraction.
troponin
What is the name of the process by which bone is constantly being broken down and rebuilt?
Bone remodeling
