Cell Parts
Breaks down food molecules to make usable ATP energy.
What is mitochondria?
The process that produces energy.
What is cellular respiration?
A segment of DNA that codes for a particular protein, which in turn codes for a trait.
What is a gene?
The four nitrogenous bases that make up RNA.
What is cytosine, uracil, guanine, and adenine?
The earliest and most primitive form of life on earth. AKA Bacteria
What are prokaryotes?
Contains the genetic code DNA which directs the formation of proteins based on the code at the ribosomes.
What is the nucleus?
The type of energy produced that needs oxygen and occurs in the mitochondria.
What is Aerobic Respiration?
The rungs (cross bars) of the DNA ladder are made of these four things?
What is adenine, guanine, thymine, and cytosine?
The number of strands that make up RNA.
Single strand
Cells with a true nucleus, and in all living things.
What are eukaryotes?
Digests food particles, wastes, cell parts, and foreign invaders, and recycles some of them for use in the cell.
What are lysosomes?
The final product of cellular respiration. The released energy.
What is Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)?
This is what the the shape of DNA is called.
What is a double helix?
RNA is found in these two locations of a cell.
What are the nucleus and cytoplasm?
This can only be treated with a vaccine.
What is a virus?
Contains all the organelles and provides the space for cell functions to occur.
What is cytoplasm?
The type of energy produced that only needs 2 ATP, occurs without oxygen, and is produced when yeast breaks down.
What is Anaerobic respiration?
The acidic substances found in the nucleus.
What are nucleic acids?
The type of sugar found in RNA.
What is ribose?
This is the building block if carbohydrates.
What is glucose?
Uses the energy of sunlight to produce glucose during photosynthesis.
What are chloroplasts?
Found in the nucleus and cytoplasm of cells, these are the building blocks for DNA and RNA.
What are nucleotides?
The sides of the DNA ladder are made of these two molecules.
What is phosphate and deoxyribose?
This carries the genetic code from DNA into proteins through a process called translation.
What is ribonucleic acid (RNA)?
This is produced if we don't breath in more during exercises, and leads to pain in the muscles and joints.
What is lactic acid?
