The Cell
The cristae in this organelle maximize the surface area available for oxidative phosphorylation, powering the production of ATP.
Mitochondria
If a strand of DNA is composed of 35% adenine, what percentage of it is guanine?
15%
These cells in your eyes help detect color and create a visual image of an object along with rod cells.
Cone Cells
This process is responsible for turning light energy to chemical energy in plants.
Photosynthesis
Name one scientist who was involved in the discovery of DNA's double helix structure.
Rosalind Franklin, Francis Crick, James Watson, Maurice Wilkins.
During mitosis, sister chromatids are separated and pulled apart during this phase.
Anaphase
This enzyme is responsible for using a template strand to synthesize another copy of DNA.
DNA Polymerase
This type of connective tissue connects muscle to bone.
Tendon
Pneumatophores, buttresses, adventitious, and ariel are all examples of this general type of plant structure.
Roots
How many years ago is life thought to have originated?
3.7 billion (accept anywhere in the range from 3.5.-4.2)
Hexokinase converts glucose to glucose-6-phosphate which commits the molecule to this first stage of cellular respiration.
Glycolysis
Which of Gregor Mendel's laws is violated by genes that are linked?
Law of Independent Assortment
These glands, located above the kidneys, are responsible for producing hormones like epinephrine and norepinephrine.
Adrenal Glands
This plant hormone is responsible for phototropic: response when a plant's stem bends toward light.
Auxin
This biotechnological technique uses an agarose matrix and an applied voltage to separate DNA or proteins by size.
Gel electrophoresis
This compound, found in bacterial cell walls, is composed of a sugar-amino acid matrix and is responsible for taking up the violet color in a gram stain.
Peptidoglycan
This term describes the movement of genes between bacterial species via a bacteriophage intermediate.
Transduction
This region of the brain, derived from the metencephalon, is responsible for coordinating movement, balance, and maintaining posture.
Cerebellum
This tissue is responsible for transporting water from the roots to leaves.
Xylem
Out of the following 4 animals, which is the closest related to starfish: Humans, butterflies, jellyfish, or octopi?
Humans
Beta oxidation and the breakdown of long chain fatty acids primarily occurs in this organelle, which gets its name due to the production of H2O2.
Peroxisome
This genetic phenomenon occurs when the expression of one gene changes the expression of another gene. A prime example is fur color in labradors.
Epistasis
This organ, located above the heart, is responsible for the maturation of T cells and slowly disintegrates after puberty.
Thymus
This protein, involved in the first step of carbon fixation in C3 plants, is thought to be the most abundant on Earth.
Rubisco
This group of protists causes red tides and also forms symbiotic relationships with coral.
Dinoflagellates (This question was diabolical sorry)
