Command center of the cell; DNA in the form of chromosomes is here
What is the nucleus?
100
What does a neutral solution have a pH of?
What is 7?
100
It is made up of the following bases: Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Thymine
What is DNA?
100
A type of diffusion involving only the movement of water molecules
What is osmosis?
200
Carries the instructions from the nucleus to the ribosome since DNA cannot leave the nucleus
What is mRNA?
200
Encloses cell, controls what gets into and out of the cell
What is the cell membrane?
200
What are animals called that cannot make their own food?
What are heterotrophs?
200
Made up of amino acids joined together by peptide bonds
What are proteins?
200
The type of transport that requires energy
What is active transport?
300
The building blocks of proteins
What are amino acids?
300
Made of cellulose (plants) or chitin (fungi); boundary outside the cell membrane in some cells
What is the cell wall?
300
What two things does respiration use to produce CO2 and H2O?
What are oxygen and glucose?
300
The type of bonds that nitrogenous bases are held together by
What are hydrogen bonds?
300
It is also called diffusion and it does not require energy
What is passive transport?
400
The synthesis of a protein from an mRNA template where the code in the mRNA is converted into an amino acid sequence in a protein
What is Translation?
400
Organelle that conducts respiration for the cell and is also known as the "powerhouse" of the cell
What is the mitochondria?
400
What is the movement of water up thin tubes?
What is capillary action?
400
Organic compounds that include fat, oil, and wax; they are used to store energy in animals
What are lipids?
400
What organelle does the Fluid Mosiac Model describe?
What is the cell membrane?
500
The process of making an RNA copy of a gene sequence. This copy, (mRNA), leaves the nucleus and enters the cytoplasm where it directs the synthesis of the protein
What is Transcription?
500
Contains digestive enzymes to break down old cell parts
What are lysosomes?
500
What is the bond between the positive end of one water molecule and the negative end of another water molecule?
What is a hydrogen bond?
500
Compounds that store energy in plants and are used as cellular energy to accomplish the characteristics of life; example: glucose
What are carbohydrates?
500
Type of diffusion where carrier proteins help molecules across the membrane
