100
Sugars, glycogen, starches
What is a carbohydrate?
100
The substitute nucleotide in RNA
What is uracil?
100
This is the term that refers to the plasma membrane's ability to allow some chemicals in freely and others not
What is selectively permeable?
100
Involves antibodies fighting off foreign invaders
What is defense?
100
Having equal solutions inside and outside the cell
What is isotonic?
200
Contains fats, oil, steroids, and cholesterol
What is a lipid?
200
The backbone of DNA
What is a phosphate group?
200
This type of transport does not require energy
What is passive?
200
Helps with movement of molecules inside/outside the cell
What is transport?
200
Low solute outside the cell causing the cell to swell and burst
What is hypotonic?
300
Can be made up of 50 to 2000 amino acids
What is a protein?
300
The sugar in DNA
What is deoxyribose?
300
This type of transport requires energy and often moves against the concentration gradient
What is active?
300
The movement of energy into bonds
What is storage?
300
Having a high solute outside the cell causing the cell to shrink
What is hypertonic?
400
The "Energy Currency" of the body
What is ATP?
400
Pairs with adenine in DNA
What is thymine?
400
This type of passive transport requires a transport protein to move such large compounds as glucose
What is facilitated diffusion?
400
Involves movement of muscles
What is contraction?
400
Movement of materials out of the cell. Ex: hormones, digestive enzymes
What is exocytosis?
500
Contains DNA and RNA
What is a nucleic acid?
500
This refers to the shape of DNA
What is a double-helix?
500
This type of active transport refers to the intake of a large item such as bacteria into a vesicle inside the cell
What is phagocytosis?
500
Recognizing and binding to other molecules
What is receptor?
500
This organelle helps with the production of energy (ATP)
What is mitochondria?
