Water
This property allows water molecules to stick to each other.
cohesion
This macromolecule is made of amino acids.
proteins
Enzymes are a type of this macromolecule.
proteins
This organelle produces ATP energy.
the mitochondria
Diffusion of water across a membrane.
osmosis
This property allows water to stick to other surfaces.
adhesion
This macromolecule provides quick energy.
carbohydrates
Cell membranes are formed from a bilayer of these molecules, featuring hydrophilic phosphate heads and hydrophobic fatty acid tails.
Phospholipids
Human somatic cells normally contain 46 total of these thread-like structures composed of tightly wound DNA and histone proteins. What is this referring to?
Chromosomes
When a red blood cell is placed in this type of solution, water enters the cell, causing it to swell and potentially burst.
Hypotonic solution
Water is called a “universal solvent” because it can dissolve many of these.
substances (or solutes)
Draw the building blocks of nucleic acids
nucleotides
Within a single water molecule, hydrogen atoms are held to the oxygen atom by this specific type of shared-electron bond. What is this bond?
Covalent bond
This specialized cell division process reduces the chromosome number by half to produce four genetically distinct haploid gametes. What is this process called?
Meiosis
Bulk transport of large molecules or extracellular material into the cell by engulfing them in membrane-bound vesicles is known as this.
Endocytosis
This property helps organisms maintain stable internal temperatures.
high specific heat
This specific chemical reaction connects monomers to form polymers by removing a molecule of water.
Dehydration synthesis
During osmosis, water always moves net across a selectively permeable membrane toward the side with the higher concentration of this dissolved substance. What do we call these dissolved substances?
Solutes
This organelle is responsible for protein synthesis.
ribosomes
Unlike passive transport, active transport requires energy in the form of this cellular fuel molecule to move solutes against their gradient. What is the name of this "cellular fuel"
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)
This type of bond forms between water molecules and gives water its unique properties.
hydrogen bonds
This bond links amino acids together.
peptide bond
SURPRISE RANDOM QUESTION
What is Mr. Mietski's favorite color?
Dark red
Packed with hydrolytic enzymes, this organelle breaks down waste, worn-out cell parts, and engulfed pathogens in animal cells. What organelle is this?
Lysosomes
This process uses transport proteins to move molecules across membranes without energy.
facilitated diffusion
