Life & Cells
the organelle that is only in plant cells and does photosynthesis
What is chloroplast?
Making an exact copy of a cell's DNA
The stage of the cell cycle that lasts the longest
This is a gas that is a reactant in photosynthesis
What is Carbon Dioxide?
An exchange of gases that breaks down glucose to release energy for an organism is this
What is respiration?
The building blocks of proteins
What is amino acids?
This copies the DNA code in the nucleus and carries the message to the ribosome
What is the mRNA?
A cell moves particles from low concentration to high concentration using this
What is active transport?
This part of photosynthesis is where energy from the sun is used to break apart water molecules
What is light dependent reactions?
This process releases the most carbon dioxide into the atmosphere
What is burning fossil fuels or combustion?
This is a substance that speeds up a chemical reaction
What is a catalyst or enzyme?
This step of protein synthesis is where codons are translated into amino acids
What is translation?
The movement of materials into a cell using a transport protein but without energy is this
What is facilitated diffusion?
This part of the chloroplast absorbs energy from the sun
What is thylakoids?
This process takes in lots of carbon dioxide
What is photosynthesis?
This enables organisms to become better suited to their environment
What is adaptation?
This has the job of transferring amino acids from the cytoplasm to the ribosome
What is tRNA?
A cell that shrinks must be in this type of solution
What is hypertonic?
This process allows glycolysis to continue under anaerobic conditions
What is fermentation?
The process of bacteria turning atmospheric nitrogen into usable compounds
What is nitrogen fixation?
A cell unable to synthesize proteins lacks this
What is ribosomes?
Translation takes place in this part of the cell
What is ribosome?
Molecules too large to be moved through the membrane can be transported into the cell by this
What is endocytosis?
These two things are products of the Krebs Cycle in respiration
What is ATP and Carbon Dioxide?
The break down or decay of something dead
What is decomposition?
