Water & Metabolism
The more negative element in water that pulls electrons towards it.
oxygen
The number of different types of amino acids there are.
20
This molecule is single-stranded rather than double-stranded.
RNA
The organelle in which cellular respiration occurs.
The Mitochondria.
The Chloroplast
The type of metabolism seen in the digestion of food.
Catabolism
The 2 causes of denaturation in proteins.
High temperatures, abnormal pH
The stage of Protein synthesis that takes place in the ribosome (starts with a T!)
Translation
The reactants of aerobic respiration.
oxygen and glucose
Chlorophyll
The type of metabolism seen in the creation of cellulose by smaller glucose molecules.
Anabolism
Cool temperature exposure, OR low substrate concentration
The enzyme that unwinds DNA's double helix by breaking hydrogen bonds
Helicase
The product of anaerobic respiration in humans.
Lactate (lactic acid)
The TWO colors of light commonly absorbed by chlorophyll.
Blue and Red
The name for a substance that is water-loving.
The three disaccharides.
Lactose, Sucrose, and Maltose
The type of replication scientists believe DNA uses (thanks to Meselson & Stahl)
Semi-Conservative
A device that can be used to determine the cellular respiration rate of an organism.
A respirometer.
The chemical equation for photosynthesis.
Carbon Dioxide + water +light energy -> Glucose + Oxygen Gas
The reason water has a higher heat capacity, higher melting and boiling point than methane
Water is polar while methane is nonpolar
The energy storage difference between a lipid and a carbohydrate.
Carbohydrates provide quick energy while lipids provide long-term energy.
A common and useful nucleotide consisting of three phosphate groups.
ATP
The products of anaerobic respiration in yeast.
Ethanol and Carbon Dioxide
The process by which water is split during photosynthesis
Photolysis
