General Biology
These traits determine if an organism is considered living
The structural unit of most organisms?
What are cells?
What is replication?
Taking 1 strand of DNA and making the "complementary" strand of DNA.
These cells can either be cocci, sprilli, and baccili.
What is bacteria
Some change in the DNA sequence.
What are the 3 parts that make up central Dogma?
Replication, transcription, translation.
One copy is considered dominant and the other is considered recessive
What is a heterozygous allele
These cells do not contain a nucleus
What is a prokaryote
What does it mean for a tumor to be benign?
A tumor that has not broke apart or spread through the body.
All living things have cells
The cell is the smallest unit of life
All cells come from pre-existing cells
What is the principles of the cell theory
A disease where the control mechanisms of cells becomes altered and cells do not stop dividing.
What is cancer?
What is the central dogma of Biology
These structures contain a protein coat that houses genetic material and do not have the ability to reproduce independently
What is a virus
what is a carcinogen?
any substance, agent, or factor that can cause or promote cancer by damaging DNA, leading to uncontrolled cell growth
Plant undergo a cellular process known as photosynthesis in order to obtain energy for life. Using the power of the sun, all plants can make their own food.
What is a autotroph
What is the cell cycle
This molecule is made of nucleotides that contain a phosphate, sugar, and a base arranged as a double helix structure.
What is DNA
This condition compromises the immune system of humans by synthesizing DNA from RNA.
What is a retrovirus/HIV
a diverse kingdom of eukaryotic organisms, distinct from plants and animals, that include yeasts, molds, and mushrooms, known for obtaining nutrients by decomposing organic matter or forming symbiotic relationships, and reproducing via spores
fungi
What is cellular respiration
We talked about eukaryotic cells in length in Bio. 1
What is a prokaryotic cell and what makes it different?
They are single celled organisms that lack a nucleus.
What is the end result or goal of translation?
to put amino acid chains together to form proteins
What is the reproductive process that prokaryotic cells use?
binary fission
What is a disease causing agent that infects a host?
a pathogen: virus, bacteria, fungi, or parasite.
