Biomolecules & Enzymes
What biomolecule is the primary source of quick energy for cells?
What is Carbohydrate?
Viruses are not considered living because they must use what to reproduce?
What is a host cell?
What is the organelle (in eukaryotic cells) where cellular respiration occurs?
What is the mitochondria?
The phase when sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles of the cell.
What is anaphase?
The process that copies DNA into messenger RNA.
What is transcription?
What are the monomers of proteins?
What are amino acids?
This structure controls what enters and leaves the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
The two main products of photosynthesis are (2):
What are oxygen & glucose?
What is the result of skipping the G0 phase?
What is cancer/tumor formation?
A mutation that replaces one amino acid with another in a protein sequence.
What is missense?
What is the structural polysaccharide that forms the exoskeleton of arthropods?
What is chitin?
This cell structure is found in both cells and where protein synthesis occurs.
What is the ribosome?
What are the products of cellular respiration? (2 main products)
What are carbon dioxide and ATP?
What are the repeating subunits that make up DNA?
What are nucleotides?
The cellular location where translation occurs.
What is the ribosome/cytoplasm?
Enzymes speed up reactions by doing what to activation energy?
What is decreasing?
This term describes the protein shell that surrounds a virus’s genetic material and protects it during transmission.
What is a capsid?
The green pigment that absorbs light for photosynthesis.
What is chlorophyll?
The DNA strand is described as this model because each new helix has one original strand and one old strand.
What is semiconservative?
The start codon that signals the beginning of translation and codes for methionine.
What is AUG?
What is the molecule called that blocks the substrate from binding to the enzyme's active site?
What is an inhibitor?
This type of lipid forms the main structural component of cell membranes.
What are phospholipids?
What does ATP stand for?
What is Adenosine Triphosphate?
These checkpoints in the cell cycle help ensure damaged DNA is repaired before division.
What are G1, G2, and M chekpoints?
The sequence on tRNA that pairs with an mRNA codon.
What is anticodon?
