Unit 1
A type of lipid consisting of 3 fatty acid chains attached to a glycerol molecule.
What is a triglyceride?
Type of endocytosis that brings large molecules into the cell.
What is phagocytosis?
Single ring structure of a nitrogenous base.
What is a pyrimidine?
Major difference between cytokinesis in plant cells and animal cells.
Location where chemiosmosis takes place.
What is the inner mitochondrial membrane?
__________ determine whether a molecule is an isotope, __________ determine the identity of the element, and _________ determine whether it is an ion.
Neutrons, protons, electrons
Organelle in animal cells that fuses with vesicles containing waste or food and digests them.
What is a lysosome?
Reason why the lagging strand is not synthesized continuously but the leading strand is.
What is synthesizing 5' to 3'?
Chromosomes that carry the same genes in the same order but may have different alleles.
What are homologous chromosomes?
Property of water that allows sweating to cool off our bodies.
What is evaporative cooling?
Smaller molecules form larger molecules through a reaction that uses energy. Give two terms that describe this reaction.
What is anabolic and endergonic?
Process that is happening to C6H12O6 in the chemical reaction for photosynthesis.
What is oxidization?
Enzyme that joins Okazaki fragments together.
What is DNA ligase?
The number of alleles a single diploid organism would possess for a trait that is polymorphic with 8 possible alleles.
What is 2 alleles?
Purpose of an enzyme.
What is lowering activation energy to speed up the rate of a reaction?
Type of bond that connects nucleotides together.
What is a phosphodiester bond?
Similarity between facilitated diffusion and active transport.
What are carrier proteins?
The type of mutation where one amino acid in the sequence is altered but all others stay the same. (The change did not result in a premature stop).
What is a missense mutation?
The way a plant would look if it showed incomplete dominance and it had one short parent and one tall parent.
What is medium height?
Rate limiting enzyme in the carbon fixation (light independent) reaction which is responsible for fixing CO2.
What is rubisco?
Purpose of active site regulation in enzymes.
What is blocking of substrates from the active site, allowing for enzyme regulation?
Name for an integral, transmembrane protein which has a membrane receptor attached to it, and a ligand bound to that receptor. With the ligand bound, this transmembrane protein opens a path for ions to pass through.
What is a ligand gated ion channel?
Happens during transcription at the A site.
Word for a single gene influencing multiple traits.
What is pleiotropic?
This is what happens during the light dependent reaction of photosynthesis.
