Cell-fie time
This organelle is known as the "powerhouse of the cell."
What is the mitochondrion?
The process by which cells divide to produce two identical daughter cells.
What is mitosis?
The process by which DNA is copied into RNA.
What is transcription?
This molecule is the most abundant lipid in the cell membrane, contributing to its structural integrity and fluidity.
What is phosphatidylcholine?
What is the mitochondrion?
What is the cell membrane?
This is the name of the cellular process in which glucose is broken down to produce ATP.
What is cellular respiration?
These structures made of DNA and proteins are visible during cell division.
What are chromosomes?
The primary function of this class of biomolecules is to store and transmit genetic information.
What are nucleic acids?
This structure modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery to other parts of the cell.
What is the Golgi apparatus?
This term describes the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane
What is osmosis?
This is the term for a sequence of DNA that codes for a specific protein.
What is a gene?
This protein's function is critical for facilitating the folding of other proteins by preventing aggregation during synthesis and stress.
What are chaperonins?
These hair-like structures on the surface of some cells are used for movement or sensory functions
What are cilia?
This process of energy production occurs in some bacteria and archaea, where a final electron acceptor other than oxygen, such as sulfate or nitrate, is used in the electron transport chain.
What is anaerobic respiration?
This term describes the sequence of DNA where RNA polymerase binds to initiate transcription.
What is the promoter?
Which biomolecule acts as the main source of energy for cellular activities?
What is Carbohydrates
These protein filaments provide structural support and help in cell movement and division.
What is the cytoskeleton?
This is the process by which cells engulf large particles or even other cells.
What is phagocytosis?
This type of mutation involves the insertion or deletion of nucleotides, shifting the reading frame of the genetic code.
What is a frameshift mutation?
What term describes the process of converting the genetic code from mRNA into a sequence of amino acids to form a protein?
What is Translation?
