Food and Cellular Respiration
Identify the cell organelle in which photosynthesis takes place.
Chloroplast
An alternate form of a particular gene.
Allele
The passage of genetic information from one generation to the next.
Heredity
Anything that has matter and takes up space.
Matter
A jelly like fluid present between the cell membrane and nucleus.
Identify the process through which organisms use light energy, carbon dioxide, and water to make glucose and oxygen.
Photosynthesis
A diagram that uses the genotypes of two parent organisms to predict the relative frequency of allele combinations in their possible offsprings.
A Punnett Square
A characteristic of an organism.
Ex. Hair color, eye color
Trait
The basic unit of matter.
Atoms
Identify the cellular structure that provides protection and support to plant cells but is absent from animal cells.
Cell Wall
Mitochondrion
An allele that will only be expressed in the absence of a dominant form of the allele.
recessive allele
A trait that is passed down from parent to offspring by way of genetic material.
inherited trait
Identify the most likely state of matter for a substance with very weak intermolecular attractions.
Gas
Identify the plant cell organelle that stores water and nutrients, supports the structure of a cell, and removes waste from a cell.
Vacuole
Identify the process through which organisms use glucose and oxygen to release energy.
Cellular Respiration
The genetic makeup of an organism, including the specific set of inherited alleles.
Genotype
A dense structure containing multiple genes that is composed of one single DNA strand.
Chromosome
Identify the most likely state of matter for a substance with very strong intermolecular attractions.
Solid
A thin structure that envelopes the cell and acts as a gate, controlling which molecules enter and leave the cell.
Cell Membrane
Carbon dioxide, water, and energy are products identified of ______________.
Cellular respiration
The expression of an organism's particular combination of alleles.
phenotype
A double stranded molecule containing coded genetic information.
DNA
A scientific principle that states mass cannot be created or destroyed during ordinary physical or chemical changes.
Law of conservation of mass
The brain of the cell contains the cells genetic material and heredity information.
Nucleus
