Biochemistry
Water's special property to stick to other substances.
What is adhesion?
States that all living things are made of cells, cells are basic unit of life, and cells only come from pre-existing cells.
What is cell theory?
The place where all energy on Earth originates from.
What is the sun?
The "life cycle" of a cell. Includes a preparation phase and a division phase.
What is the cell cycle?
The condensed form of DNA in cells only visible during mitosis.
What are chromosomes?
Substances that speed up reactions by lowering activation energy.
What are enzymes?
Type of cells that do NOT contain a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles.
What are prokaryotic cells?
An organisms that makes its own food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis.
What is an autotroph?
Process which creates two, genetically identical, diploid daughter cells.
What is mitosis?
The point of attachment for two sister chromatids.
What is the centromere?
Characteristic of life that describes an organism starting at an infant stage and progressing to adulthood.
What is growth and development?
A multilayered boundary containing all the parts of the cell.
What is cell membrane/plasma membrane/phospholipid bilayer?
The process in which C6H12O6 and O2 are used to make H2O, CO2, and ATP.
What is cellular respiration?
A major consequence of the cell cycle checkpoints failing and TOO MUCH growth occurs.
What is cancer?
Two identical copies of DNA that are attached together.
What are sister chromatids?
Macromolecule that contains fats, oils, and steroids.
What are lipids?
Specific type of passive transport where small, nonpolar molecules squeeze between phospholipids.
What is simple diffusion?
A type of respiration when oxygen is limited that produces lactic acid or alcohol.
What is fermentation?
What is telophase?
You have two of each chromosome (one from mom and one from dad).
What is diploid?
The characteristic of life where life arranges in orderly patterns (i.e. cells-->tissues-->organs-->organ systems-->organism).
What is displays organization?
The recycling center of the cell removing and disposing old parts.
What are lysosomes?
The step of cellular respiration that produces the most ATP.
What is the electron transport chain?
Process in which DNA on chromosomes exchange in meiosis in order to increase genetic variation in offspring.
What is crossing over?
The protective end tips of a chromosome.
What are telomeres?
