Cells and Organelles
This kind of organism is made up of many cells.
What is multicellular?
This is a weak virus that is injected into the body to cause an immune response.
What is a vaccine?
These are greasy compounds that store energy and make up cell membranes; also called fat.
What are lipids?
Movement of a substance from high concentration to low concentration. NO energy is required.
Passive transport
This is a double-stranded molecule that contains the bases A, T, C, G and provides the code for cells.
What is DNA?
This type of organism is made of only one cell.
What is unicellular?
A virus most infect this to reproduce.
What is a host cell?
Sugars, glucose, starches, cellulose; main energy source for organisms (think bread and pasta).
What are carbohydrates?
Movement from low concentration to higher concentration; requires energy.
What is active transport?
The structure of DNA is called this because it is a spiral that resembles a twisted ladder.
What is a double helix?
These organisms have cells that contain a nuclues.
What are eukaryotes?
Viruses are not considered cells because they do not obtain or use energy and they require a host to reproduce. They are this.
What is non-living?
These are made of amino acids and are produced in ribosomes.
What are proteins?
Movement of water through a membrane from high water concentration to low water concentration (we studied this when we did the egg lab). Does not require energy.
What is osmosis?
This is what we call any change in the DNA; a change in the nucleotide order.
What is a mutation?
This organelle is where photosynthesis occurs.
What is a chloroplast?
The active infectious stage of a virus; symptoms are present and host cells are destroyed.
What is the Lytic Cycle?
Genetic material such as DNA or RNA; these are made of nitrogenous bases.
What are nucleic acids?
What is diffusion?
Both alleles (letters) in the genotype are the same. Ex: BB or bb
What is homozygous?
This organelle is only found in eukaryotic cells and contains DNA.
What is the nucleus?
What is the Lysogenic cycle?
This is the word for the building block of a biomolecule.
What is a monomer?
Movement of large molecules out of the cell, using vesicles, and does require energy.
What is Exocytosis?
This cell division creates four (4) unique, haploid cells (gametes).
What is meiosis?
