Macromolecules
These are the four main types: proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids.
What are macromolecules
These are the two main types of cells
What are eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells
This process converts sunlight, water, and CO2 into glucose
What is photosynthesis
This type of transport moves small particles from high to low concentration without energy
What is passive transport
This one element is the backbone of all organic compounds and all lifeforms based on Earth
What is Carbon
This monomer breaks down into amino acids and forms polypeptides when chained together.
What is a protein
This "control center" organelle houses DNA in chromatin
What is the nucleus?
This is the organelle where cellular respiration breaks down glucose
What is the mitochondria
This is the movement of water from high to low concentration
This famous scientist discovered the structure of DNA as a double helix in 1953
Who is Rosalind Franklin
This macromolecule's monomer is a fatty acid, and it forms a bilayer in cell membranes for insulation and long-term energy storage.
What is a lipid?
This animal-only organelle digests waste and macromolecules
What is the lysosome
In this solution type, there's more solute than solvent,
What is hypertonic?
The layers of the earth
What is the crust, mantle, and core (inner and outer)
These special proteins act as catalysts to lower activation energy and speed up biochemical reactions
This organelle is the site for lipid synthesis
What is the smooth ER
The reaction in the chloroplast where the molecule oxygen is created
The light-dependent reaction
This type of transport method goes from low to high concentration and shoots large particles across a membrane
What is a protein pump
The element that is liquid at room temperature
What is mercury
These are the six main elements your body is made up of
What is Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Sulfur
These are the three organelles that are in every type of cell
What is Cell Membrane, Cytoplasm, and DNA
This reaction in the mitochondria produces 2 ATP and the molecule CO2
What is the Kreb's Cycle
This active transport process uses energy to bring large materials into the cell by forming vesicles
The largest organ in the human body
What is the skin
