A
Organelle in the cell that the mRNA runs through in protein synthesis to pair with the tRNA to form the amino acid chain
chemical process in which organisms obtain and store their energy
What is Anabolism?
alternation of sugar and phosphate molecules form sides
What is Phosphate group?
transfers amino acids to the ribosome to make a protein
What is Transfer RNA (tRNA)?
contains a nitrogenous base, a five-carbon sugar, and a phosphate group
What is Nucleotides?
-make new organisms and chromosomes when a cell divides, DNA must copy for anything to reproduce
-Organelle in the cell that the mRNA runs through in protein synthesis to pair with the tRNA to form the amino acid chain
-sum of all processes that an organism uses to obtain, store, and use energy
What is Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)?
(Consumers) get their energy from another living thing that has stored chemical energy
What is Heterotrophs?
used to assemble amino acids into proteins
What is Ribonucleic acid (RNA)?
single-stranded RNA molecule that carries the code from the DNA to make a protein
two twisted strands held in place by hydrogen bonds
What is Double Helix?
has too much energy for the cell to break down at one time
What is Glucose?
(Producers) organisms that produce their own food
What is Autotrophs?
adenine with thymine, guanine with cytosine
What is four bases and what they go with?
form the "rungs" of the DNA ladder
What is Base Pairs?
ATP reacts with water to chop off one of the phosphate groups
sum of all processes that an organism uses to obtain, store, and use energy
What is Metabolism?
mistakes in the replication process
when nucleotides are added to each of the original strands of DNA
What is replication?
process of reading RNA to synthesize a protein
What is Translation?
the molecule responsible for the coded information of life
What is Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)?
use of stored energy to carry on life processes
What is Catabolism?
triplets of nucleotide bases in the RNA transcript
What is Codons?
Part of the structures of ribosomes
What is Ribosomal RNA (rRNA)?
process of making RNA from DNA (happens in the nucleus)
What is Transcribed (transcription)?
adds nucleotides to each of the original strands
What is DNA Polymerase?
