Basic Biological Principles
Characteristic shared be all prokaryotes and eukaryotes?
What is Genetic Material (DNA)?
Primary component of the plasma membrane
What is lipids?
Aerobic cellular respiration occurs here. (organelle)
What is the mitochondria?
The movement of water across a semipermeable membrane.
What is osmosis?
A phase of the cell cycle that involves the replication of DNA
What is the S phase?
Organelle responsible for converting solar energy into chemical energy
What is the chloroplast
Enzymes speed up reactions by......
What is decreasing activation energy?
During strenuous exercise, human muscle cells may switch to
What is lactic acid fermentation?
A process that requires the expenditure of ATP (concentration gradient)
What is the movement of molecules against a concentration gradient?
A cell with 24 chromosomes undergoes mitosis. How many chromosomes will be in each daughter cell?
What is 24?
Cell wall, large central vacuole, and no centrioles
What is a plant cell?
A protein's shape is altered by high heat. (term)
What is denatured?
The role of ATP in the cell.
What is immediate energy for cellular work?
A hypertonic solution (describe the movement of water and affect on the cell)
What is the cell will shrink?
Crossing over occurs
What is prophase 1?
Levels of organization
What is organelle, cell, tissue, organs, organ systems, organisms?
Element found in proteins, but not carbs
What is nitrogen?
Gas that is released as a byproduct of the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.
what is oxygen?
A structure that regulates the passage of materials in and out of the cell.
What is the plasma membrane?
A process that results in four genetically diverse haploid cells.
What is meiosis?
A property that allows water to move upward through a plant's xylem
What is cohesion and adhesion?
Primary products of photosynthesis
What is glucose and oxygen?
The equation for photosynthesis.
6Co2+6H2O (chloroplasts and light energy) yields C6H12O6+6O2
Large molecules are brought into the cell
What is endocytosis?
Uncontrolled cell growth
What is cancer?
