Genetic Code
DNA to DNA
What is DNA replicatio?
organelle only found in plants where photosynthesis takes place?
What is a chloroplast?
an aerobic process that breaks down food molecules to produce energy?
What is cellular respiratio?
Cellular growth and development takes place in this phase of interphase
What is G1 Or Gap1?
Process by which organisms respond to stimuli in ways that keep conditions in their body suitable for life
What is homeostasis?
DNA ——>RNA
What is transcription?
Energy in sunlight is captured and used to make ATP and NADPH
What is a light reaction of photosynthesis?
36 molecules of ATP
What are the approximate products of glycolysis?
DNA replication occurs in this phase of interphase
What is S phase?
Lens at the top of a compound light microscope
What is an ocular?
RNA——>protein
What is translation?
I rely on food making ability of green plants because I cannot make my own food
What is a heterotroph?
No oxygen present, yeast cells break down glucose to form alcohol and carbon dioxide
What is alcoholic formation?
Shortest phase of interphase. It involves the synthesis of cell organelles
What is G2?
Type of cell lacking a nucleus
What is a prokaryote?
Assists RNA in reading the code (3) base pairs at a time to translate the reading window into protein ( amino acid, polypeptid)
What is an anticodon?
The use of CO2 and energy storing compounds produced in light reactions to form PGAL, a chemical building block that can be used to make sugar
What is Calvin cycle or dark reactions?
Cells carry out energy production in the absence of oxygen
What is fermentation?
The 3rd phase of mitosis. Sister chromatids allowing each chromatid to become an individual chromosome
What is anaphase?
The site of protein synthesis in a cell
What is a ribosome?
My job is to bring genetic information from DNA in the nucleus out to ribosomes in the cytoplasm
What is mRNA ?
Single organism can reproduce without the aid of another
What is asexual reproduction?
Any pricess in a living thing that involves putting together or synthesizing complex substances from simpler substances
What is anabolism?
Before mitosis begins a cell must undergo this process
What is duplicate its chromosomes?
A form of passive transport where molecules are transported across a membrane in the direction of lowest concentration by a carrier protein
What is facilitated diffusion?
