The Elementary Games
This subatomic particle is not found in the nucleus.
What is an electron?
The bonds between oxygens and hydrogens in different water molecules.
What are hydrogen bonds?
This is the building block of polysaccharides.
What is monosaccharides?
Proteins that are embedded in the cell membrane.
What are integral membrane proteins?
The nucleoid is a region found only in this type of cell.
What is prokaryotic?
Number of valence electrons in a neutral element with 12 protons.
What is 2?
The bonds between oxygen and hydrogen in the same water molecule.
What are polar covalent bonds?
Table sugar (sucrose) is an example of this kind of macromolecule?
What is a disaccharide?
This type of membrane transport occurs when substances move against their concentration gradients.
What is primary active transport?
This structure that synthesizes protein is found in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells.
What is a ribosome?
Elements with the same number of protons, but different numbers of neutrons.
What is an isotope?
This property of water explains how water is able to travel against gravity up the stem of plants.
What is cohesion and adhesion?
What is the R group or side chain?
This is required for both facilitated diffusion and active transport.
What is a membrane protein?
This cytoskeletal structure is made of tubulin and functions in transport inside the cell and forming cilia and flagella.
What are microtubules?
Energy is required for this type of reaction.
What is endergonic?
What is ice makes more hydrogen bonds than liquid water?
Compared to RNA, DNA has one less of this atom as part of its sugar.
What is oxygen?
Membranes rich with this type of lipid have higher membrane fluidity.
What is unsaturated (or shorter carbon chain)?
This organelle synthesizes lipids and steroids.
What is the smooth ER?
The type of bond formed between two atoms with electronegativities that differ by 1.5.
What is polar covalent?
This property of water explains why sweat is effective in regulating body temperature.
What is the heat of vaporization (or specific heat capacity) of water?
This type of enzyme regulation can activate or inactivate an enzyme by binding to a site other than the active site.
What is allosteric (noncompetitive) regulation?
This occurs when the cell has more ions inside the cell than outside of the cell.
What is swelling/bursting?
This organelle breaks macromolecules down into their building blocks.
What is a lysosome?
