Life
This is the smallest unit of life.
What is a cell?
This organelle is the control center of the cell.
What is the nucleus?
The monomer of proteins.
What is an amino acid?
The process by which cells convert glucose into ATP.
What is cellular respiration?
While many sugars end in the suffix OSE, many corresponding enzymes end in this suffix.
What is ASE?
These are the three domains of life.
What are Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya?
This structure allows materials to enter and leave the cell.
What is the plasma membrane?
These macromolecules include DNA and RNA.
What are nucleic acids?
The process used to convert sunlight into glucose.
What is photosynthesis?
The single-celled organism Vibrio Fisherii lives within the light organ of the Bobtail Squid. What domain does Vibrio Fisherii belong to?
What is domain Bacteria?
All living things must maintain a stable internal environment, known as this.
What is homeostasis?
Organelle responsible for producing energy (ATP).
What is the mitochondrion?
This macromolecule is a significant energy source, comprising sugars and starches.
What are carbohydrates?
This process copies DNA into a form of RNA.
What is transcription?
List one example of homeostasis and explain how it is classified as such.
Yes!
The domain that includes organisms with a nucleus.
What is Eukarya?
Found in only plant cells, this structure helps with photosynthesis.
What is the chloroplast?
These macromolecules are made of fatty acids and glycerol.
What are lipids?
This process converts RNA into proteins.
What is translation?
This term is used to describe the process by which organisms acquire energy through the breakdown of inorganic chemical matter.
Name four characteristics of life.
What are growth/reproduction, response to stimuli, metabolism, organization, evolution, and homeostasis?
These small structures synthesize proteins.
What are ribosomes?
The function of enzymes in the body.
What is to speed up chemical reactions?
This is the process by which a cell divides to form two identical daughter cells.
What is mitosis?
If a human consumes lactose and their blood sugar stays consistent afterwards, what is this a sign of?
What is lactose intolerance?
