Properties of Life, Chemistry, & Molecules of Life
This element is the main component of all organic molecules.
This is the part of the enzyme where the substrate binds.
What is the active site?
The segment of the Endoplasmic Reticulum that aids in the manufacture of carbohydrates and lipids.
What is the smooth ER?
In molecules, potential energy is stored here.
What are the chemical bonds?
This is the number of ATPs generated in the Krebs Cycle.
What is 2?
This type of bond is the reason why water has so many unique properties, like its "stickiness" and ability to absorb heat.
What is a hydrogen bond?
The base that pairs with adenine in DNA.
What is thymine?
In this type of transport, the cell uses energy to move substances against a gradient.
What is active transport?
Photosynthesis takes place in this organelle.
What is the chloroplast?
These are the 3 alternative sources of cell energy besides glucose.
What are fats, complex carbohydrates, and protein?
These can be used as tracers to study how the body functions, or for dating fossils.
What are isotopes?
The process in which information from mRNA is used to make proteins.
This organelle, present in both plant and animal cells, is a bacteria-like organelle with its own DNA, and 2 membranes.
What is mitochondria?
These are the outputs of the photosynthesis reaction.
What are glucose/starch and oxygen?
These are the 2 electron carriers, generated during glycolysis & the Krebs cycle.
What are NADH and FADH2?
This word describes a lipid that has the maximum number of hydrogen atoms attached to it.
What is saturated?
The three parts of a nucletide.
What are a sugar, a phosphate group, and a base?
This structure, made of microtubules, helps propel sperm through fluid.
This says that energy cannot be created or destroyed but can be converted.
What is the First Law of Thermodynamics?
This is the step of cellular respiration that takes place in the cytoplasm.
What is glycolysis?
These are the 6 kingdoms of life.
What are archaea, bacteria, protista, fungi, plantae, and animalia?
This binding site is in the middle of the ribosome, between the A site and the E site.
What is the p site?
These elements of the cytoskeleton provide support to the cell and are made of actin subunits.
What are microfilaments?
What is the Calvin Cycle?
This word refers to the production of ATP.
What is chemiosmosis?
