Macromolecules
This class of macromolecule can be an enzyme in the body.
Answer: This organelle is the powerhouse of the cell, generating ATP through cellular respiration.
Question: What is the mitochondrion?
The process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy.
What is photosynthesis?
This is a where DNA is stored in a cell.
What is the nucleus?
This type of lipid can be formed by a glycerol molecule and two fatty acid tails
What is a phospholipid?
Answer: This organelle is responsible for translation in the cell.
Question: What is the ribosome?
This process is responsible for making foods like kombucha, cheese, and wine.
What is fermentation?
This method of extracting energy from food is the most efficient
What is cellular respiration?
This molecule has the nitrogenous bases: A, G, C, U
What is RNA?
This organelle modifies, sorts, and packages proteins for secretion from the cell.
What is the Golgi apparatus (or Golgi complex)?
A form of respiration that extracts energy from food and occurs in the absence of oxygen.
What is anaerobic respiration?
Fill in the blank
cells -> ____ -> organs -> organ system -> organism
What is tissue?
This macromolecule group is functions in structural and energy storage
What is a carbohydrate?
This organelle contains digestive enzymes that break down cellular waste and foreign invaders.
What is the lysosome?
The molecule that serves as the primary energy carrier in cells and is produced during cellular respiration.
What is ATP (adenosine triphosphate)?
This organelle keeps a plant cell rigid.
What is a cell wall?
This word describes when fatty acid chains are straight, and the triglyceride is a solid at room temperature
What is saturated?
This organelle contains chlorophyll and is found in plant cells. It helps to produce sugars from water, CO2, and light.
What is the chloroplast?
These are the two main stages of photosynthesis.
What are light-dependent reactions and Calvin cycle (or light-independent reactions)?
This class of macromolecule has a sugar phosphate backbone
What is Nucleic acid?
