Cells and Biomolecules
Cell organelle responsible for the production of ATP; the "powerhouse"
Mitochondria
Maintaining a stable internal environment
Homeostasis
Location of photosynthesis (organelle)
Chloroplasts
The process that produces gametes (reproductive cells)
Meiosis
Smallest unit of life
Cell
Type of cell that has a cell wall and chloroplasts
Plant cells
Autotrophs make their own "food" and heterotrophs eat food
Obtain energy
Cellular energy (molecule)
ATP
First (and longest) stage in a cell's life cycle, includes G1, S, and G2
Interphase
A change in DNA code
Mutation
Cell organelle that is the site of protein synthesis
Ribosomes
Set of instructions for the way an organism looks and functions
DNA (genetic material)
C6H12O6
Glucose
The number of cells produced in meiosis
4
Where homologous chromosomes in Prophase 1 of meiosis pair up and exchange segments of DNA
Crossing over
This biomolecule contains carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, and nitrogen
Nucleic Acids
An organism interacts with its environment and makes immediate changes based on what is happening
Respond to stimuli
Equation for cellular respiration
C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6H2O + 6CO2 + Energy (ATP)
A cell containing 2 of each pair of chromosomes (46 total chromosomes in humans)
Diploid
A cell that contains a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles
eukaryote
The monomer of proteins is called
Amino acids
An organism will increase in size and gain skills over its lifetime
Grow and Develop
The pigment in plants that reflects green wavelengths
Chrlorophyll
The process by which the nucleus divides during cell division
mitosis
Four types of eukaryotic cells
plants, animals, protists, fungi
