What does DNA stand for?
Deoxyribonucleic Acid
What is the monomer & function of carbohydrates?
Glucose/Simple Sugar/Monosaccharide
Quick energy
What are the specific molecules called that bind to our enzymes?
Substrates
What is the chemical equation for Photosynthesis?
Carbon Dioxide + Water --> Oxygen & Glucose
What is osmosis and in which direction does it flow?
The movement of water from a high to low concentration
Where is DNA found inside the cell?
Nucleus
What is the monomer & function of lipids?
Fatty Acids/Triglycerides
Long term energy
How do enzymes become denatured/fail to function properly?
Change in pH or increase in temperature
What is the chemical equation for Cellular Respiration?
Oxygen + Glucose --> Carbon Dioxide, Water, ATP
What happens when a red blood cell is placed into 100% distilled water?
The cell will swell or burst
DNA is made of nucleotides. What are the three parts of a nucleotide?
What is the monomer & function of proteins?
Amino Acids/Polypeptides
Regulation, growth, repair.
To speed up a reaction
In animals, what substance is created/builds up in the muscles when oxygen is not present?
Lactic Acid
Which type of transport involves the movement of molecules from an area of high to low concentration AND uses a protein channel?
Facilitated Diffusion
What are the four nitrogen bases found in DNA (letters are fine) and which bases are paired together?
Adenosine-Thymine
Cytosine-Guanine
What is the monomer & function of Nucleic Acids?
Nucleotides
Hold genetic information
How do enzymes speed up reaction?
(Think about how the activation energy is changed)
They lower the activation energy/amount of energy required to begin a reaction
How are the reactions of photosynthesis and cellular respiration related?
The glucose and oxygen produced in photosynthesis are used as reactants in aerobic cellular respiration.
Mitochondria
RNA, like DNA, uses 4 nitrogen bases. Which nitrogen base is specific to RNA and which nitrogen base does it replace? (Letter is okay to use)
Uracil instead of Thymine
