ATP, eyes on me!
this molecule is the most important part of ATP
what is the phosphate group?
the transmission of traits from one generation to the next
what is heredity
these are reproductive cells
what are gametes?
what is cancer
the first 2 people to work with this concept both died by suicide
what is thermodynamics?
this reaction uses the energy from a broken bond holding a single phosphate group
what is substrate level phosphorylation?
the generation to generation sequence of stages in the reproductive history of an organism
what is a life cycle?
these are traits that can be physically observed in the offspring
what is phenotype?
differentiated cells, normal nuclei, undergo apoptosis, contact inhibition, one organizer layer
what are traits of a normal, non-cancerous, cell?
the energy of motion
what is kinetics
what is proton motive force?
this type of cell reproduction creates an exact copy
what is mitosis?
this describes a type of gene combination where the offspring expresses a recessive trait
what is homozygous recessive?
describes the growth of new blood vessels around a tumor, which brings nutrients to the tumor for it to grow bigger
this type of reaction starts in a low energy state and ends in a high energy state
what is endogenic?
this reaction takes place in the matrix of the mitochondria
what is kreb's cycle?
this step does not happen in mitosis
what is crossing over?
this is used in place of the Punnett-square when predicting more complex crosses (considering more than 1 trait)
what is the forked-line method?
a piece of tumor breaking off and travelling through the blood stream is an example of this
what is metastasis?
this changes the shape of an enzyme's active site
what is noncompetitive inhibitor?
this shuttles high energy electrons from both NADH and FADH2 in reduction reactions. the energy released is used to create a H+ gradient in the intermembrane space
what is the electron transport chain
cell daughter cell separates from the mother cell in this stage
what is cytokinesis?
Mendel uses this concept that lead to the idea of dominant and recessive genes
what is the law of probability?
mutation in tumor suppressor gene
what is one of the causes of cancer?
describes the energy needed to break or change a bond between atoms/molecules
