Unit 1
This type of bond involves the sharing of electrons
What is a covalent bond
This organelle is the "brain" of the cell
What is the Nucleus
This process uses sunlight to produce glucose
What is photosynthesis?
This is the division of the cytoplasm
What is cytokinesis
This is an organism's physical appearance
What is phenotype
Water sticking to plant cell walls is an example of what property
What is adhesion
This organelle is found only in plant cells and provide structure
What is the cytoplasm?
Cyclins regulate progression through this
What is the cell cycle
This enzyme synthesizes RNA
RNA polymerase
These bonds form between positive hydrogen atoms and electronegative atoms
What are hydrogen bonds
This organelle detoxifies drugs and poisons in the body
What is the smooth er?
This is the part of the cell where the Calvin cycle takes place
What is the stroma?
This phase involves chromosome alignment at the equator
What is metaphase
This explains the 9:3:3:1 ratio
This group makes molecules acidic by donating H+ ions
What is the carboxyl group
This organelle packages proteins for transport
What is the Golgi apparatus?
These reactions of photosynthesis require light energy
What are light-dependent reactions?
Apoptosis is best known as ths
What is necessary cell death
The rate of this process is increased by enhancers
What is transcription
This macromolecule gives the cell long-term energy storage
What are lipids
A failure of this organelle would most directly affect ATP production
What is the mitochondrion?
The enzyme Rubisco catalyzes this process
What is carbon fixation?
A mutation in this could lead to cancer
What are cell cycle checkpoints
Crossing-over occurs during this phase
What is prophase I of Meiosis
