Molecules
These molecules can be used for growth and repair of cells.
Protein Molecules
This body system breaks down larger molecules
Digestive System
The ________ of a protein molecule refers to its shape.
structure
This is a characteristic that all organisms of a specific species have.
feature
______ ________ is the process in which two parents pass on their genes to their offspring.
Sexual reproduction
These molecules are used for cellular respiration.
BONUS: What do we get from cellular respiration?
Glucose & Oxygen
BONUS: ENERGY!!!!
This body system delivers molecules to all the cells of the body.
Circulatory System
The ________ of a protein molecule refers to how it works or what it does.
function
this is a specific characteristic of an individual organism.
trait
True or False: It is possible for an offspring to get more genes from one parent than the other.
False. Offspring always get half of their genes from their mom and half from their dad.
A _______ ________ is where molecules are broken down and then rearranged to form new molecules. Cellular Respiration is an example of this.
Chemical Reaction
This system is affected if someone is not getting enough oxygen molecules into their body.
Respiratory System
True or False: The structure of a protein molecule will determine its trait.
True
What is it called when the gene versions are the same?
Homozygous
What is called when an offspring receives genes from its parents?
inherit
Put these in order:
A: Glucose and Oxygen combine
B: Cells can grow and repair
C: Proteins are formed.
D: Energy is released.
E: Amino Acids combine
A: Glucose and Oxygen combine
D: Energy is released.
E: Amino Acids combine
C: Proteins are formed.
B: Cells can grow and repair
________________ is the body’s use of molecules for energy and growth.
Metabolism
What provides instructions on how to build the protein molecules?
Genes
What is it called when the gene versions are different?
Heterozygous
________ is a random change to the genes.
Mutation
Why would someone be tired if their body is not breaking down large molecules into smaller molecules?
This would mean that their body would not be able to break down starch into glucose which is needed for cellular respiration.
How many copies of each gene does a parent pass on to its offspring?
1 copy of each gene is passed down by each parent.
Jacob, Jade, and Jeremiah are siblings. They all have some different traits. Why do they not have the same traits if they all have the same parents?
They do not have the same traits because they have different gene version combinations. The genes instruct for different protein molecules which give them different traits.
Leo the spider has the gene versions "S2,S2" for the silk stickiness feature. Anne the spider has the gene versions "S1,S2" for the silk stickiness feature. Which spider's gene versions are heterozygous and which spider's gene versions are homozygous?
Leo-Homozygous
Anne-Heterozygous
Cells normally have ______ copies of each gene for each feature but reproductive cells only have ____ copy of each gene.
Two, One
