Photosynthesis
This organelle inside plant cells is the site where photosynthesis takes place.
Chloroplasts
These are the four main classes of macromolecules that are essential for life.
Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids.
I am the main source of quick energy for your body. You know me as table sugar, and my full name ends with "-ose."
Glucose
This is the main organelle where cellular respiration takes place in eukaryotic cells.
Mitochondria
This is the shape of a DNA molecule, often described as a "twisted ladder."
Double helix
These tiny pores, usually on the underside of leaves, allow carbon dioxide to enter and oxygen to exit.
This macromolecule serves as the primary source of quick energy for living things and includes sugars, starches, and fiber.
Carbohydrates
I am a protein that speeds up chemical reactions in your body.
Enzymes
What was the independent variable in our FORMATIVE yeast lab?
Types of sugar
What are the four nitrogen bases in DNA?
Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Thymine
The green pigment found in chloroplasts that absorbs sunlight energy for photosynthesis.
Chlorophyll
What is the monomer of proteins?
Amino acids
I am a nucleic acid that acts as a messenger. I carry instructions from DNA out to the ribosome to help build proteins.
RNA
This is the main energy molecule that cells produce during cellular respiration to power cellular activities.
ATP
In DNA, cytosine (C) always pairs with this nitrogen base?
guanine (g)
The chemical equation for photosynthesis converts CO2 and water into these two products, using sunlight energy.
Glucose and oxygen
This type of macromolecule includes fats, oils, and waxes; it is used for long-term energy storage, insulation, and protecting organs.
Lipids
I am a structural carbohydrate found in the exoskeletons of insects and crustaceans. My name sounds like I belong on a beach, but you won't find me in plants.
Chitin
The chemical equation for cellular respiration uses glucose and this gas to produce carbon dioxide, water, and energy.
Oxygen
What is the outer part of the ladder made of?
Sugars and phosphates
These organisms, found in oceans and other aquatic environments, perform an estimated 50-80% of Earth's photosynthesis, not land plants.
Phytoplankton, cyanobacteria, and algae
This carbohydrate, found in plant cell walls, is a polysaccharide that humans cannot digest, but it is important for digestive health as fiber.
I am a type of lipid that makes up the majority of the cell membrane. I have a hydrophilic head that loves water and two hydrophobic tails that avoid it.
Phospholipid
This process occurs when oxygen is not available, like what we saw in both our formative and summative yeast labs.
Fermentation
This is the sugar found in DNA.
Deoxyribose
