Cyclin/CDKs
a protein that does not always exist in cell and helps regulate cell cycle
what is a cyclin?
The two main categories of energy
What are potential and kinetic energy?
Genes that cause cancer
What is an oncogene?
sum of all chemical reactions in an organism
What is metabolism?
complex that promotes expression of proteins that are needed for gene expression
What is the S cyclin/CDK complex?
The three types of kinetic energy
What is electricity, light, and thermal energy?
A gene that encourages cells to divide and undergo the cell cycle.
What is a proto-oncogene?
Metabolic pathway that always results in a release of energy
What is a catabolic reaction?
Promotes expression of histone proteins
Where the potential energy is stored in a molecule
What are chemical bonds?
A gene that inhibits the cell cycle
What is a tumor suppressor gene?
Metabolic pathway which builds smaller molecules up into bigger ones
What is an anabolic pathway?
Complex which promotes cell's entry into mitosis
What is the M cyclin/cdk complex?
Cancer can happen when a mutation turns this on
What is an oncogene?
A mysterious organism is discovered that gets its energy from the sun and uses organic compounds for carbon. What is its classification?
photoheterotroph
Encourages production of a protein used to regulate gene expression.
What is the G1/S Cyclin/CDK complex?
Energy is neither destroyed nor created but can be transferred/transformed.
What is the First Law of Thermodynamics?
Because mutations have more time to accumulate
Why do older people experience cancer more frequently than younger people?
Humans are this classification for energy/carbon sourcing
What is a chemoheterotroph?
