Random Biology
These organisms form the basis of all food chains.
Producers/Autotrophes
These simple molecules form the basis of all proteins
What are amino acids?
This type of cell contains organelles that are bound by membranes.
Eukaryote/Eukaryotic
A molecule that serves as a fast source of energy.
What are carbohydrates?
The process by which water moves through the cell membrane to balance out a high concentration of solutes.
What is osmosis?
The type of cells that contain DNA, cytoplasm, ribosomes, and a cell membrane, but no other membrane-bound organelles.
What is a prokaryote? (or prokaryotic cell)
What is activation energy?
Organelle where proteins and lipids are processed and then exported
What is the golgi apparatus
During this phase of mitosis, the chromosomes begin to appear and the nuclear membrane begins to disolve.
Prophase
Organelle where cellular respiration occurs
What is the Mitochondria
The processes that cycle water, carbon dioxide, glucose, and oxygen between organisms are known as:
Photosynthesis and Respiration
movement of molecules across cell membranes without the need for energy input
What is passive transport?
Proteins that make chemical reactions happen at lower temperatures in the body.
Enzymes
This organelle serves as a point of storage in a cell.
The Vacuole
During Cell Transport, this process pulls water towards dissolved materials.
Osmosis
Binding site on an enzyme that is shaped to fit a specific substrate:
The Active Site
What is the function of enzymes, in general, in the body?
To reduce the energy required to start a chemical reaction.
This Process is how most body cells produce more of themselves.
Mitosis/The Cell cycle
When mitosis runs away, and gets out of control, it forms this group of related diseases.
Cancers
Two (of three) organelles that are only present in plant cells and not animal cells
What are the chloroplasts, large central vacuole, cell wall?
These are the products of cellular respiration
What are water, carbon dioxide, and ATP?
The following is the overall reaction of what process?6CO2 + 6H2O —> C6H12O6 + 6O2
What is photosynthesis?
A type of protein used for facilitated diffusion
What are Channel or carrier protein
List two characteristics of life that viruses DO posses.
Reproduce (Not on their own)
Evolve
Have genetic material
Whenever ATP releases its energy, it becomes which molecule until it is recycled into ATP again?
ADP
