Unit 1 & Unit 2: Chemistry of Life & Cell Structure/Function
These macromolecules have Nitrogen.
What are Proteins & Nucleic Acids?
This is where the substrate binds to an enzyme.
What is the active site?
These are the three parts to a signal transduction pathway.
What is reception, transduction, and response?
These are small, circular DNA molecules found in either prokaryotes or eukaryotes.
What are plasmids?
This is what natural selection acts on.
What is phenotypes?
These are the two types of secondary structures in proteins.
What are alpha-helix and beta pleated sheets?
This is the function of the ETC between Photosystem II and Photosystem I .
What is Establishing a Proton Gradient?
This is the difference between negative and positive feedback mechanisms.
What is bringing a system back to homeostasis (negative) and amplifying the stimuli/response (positive)?
This enzyme is responsible for relaxing the DNA strand in front of the replication fork.
What is topoisomerase?
This is when similar environmental/selective pressures result in similar phenotypes in unrelated populations or species.
What is convergent evolution?
This type of transport would be affected if ATP breakdown is inhibited in a cell.
These are created during the light dependent reactions to power the Calvin Cycle.
What is ATP and NADPH?
This is how a CDK and Cyclin interact during the cell cycle.
What is cyclin binding to the CDK to initiate a response?
These are the 3 types of RNA and how they work together?
What is mRNA (carries the genetic message), tRNA (carries amino acids to ribosome), and rRNA (makes up the ribosome)
This is what would happen if there were a decrease in the plant populations in an ecosystem.
What is decrease in primary and secondary consumers?
This is the difference between endocytosis and exocytosis.
What is bringing materials inside the cell (endo) or moving materials outside the cell (exo)?
This is the difference between competitive and non-competitive inhibitors.
What is binding to the active site vs. binding to an allosteric (or other) site on the enzyme.
This mode of inheritance is shown on a pedigree when offspring have a trait that the parents do not show.
What is autosomal recessive?
This is the difference in location of translation in prokaryotes vs eukaryotes.
What is cytoplasm (prokaryotes) and ribosomes/rough ER (eukaryotes)?
This is the dN/dt of a population of 100 and a rmax value of 0.3.
What is 30?
This is the organelle responsible for turgor pressure in plant cells.
What is the Vacuole?
This is the 3 carbon molecule produced during glycolysis.
What is pyruvate?
This is how many cells are created during meiosis, what type of cells, and the reason why this is the product.
What is 4 haploid gamete cells because of 2 rounds of cell division (or PMAT)?
What is the 5' cap, poly-A tail, and splicing (removal of introns from exons)?
These are 3 pieces of evidence that indicate common ancestry of all eukaryotes.
What are membrane-bound organelles, genes that contain introns, and linear chromosomes?
