Heredity
What is the process by which a DNA molecule is copied; also called DNA synthesis.
What is DNA replication?
When a cell sends a signal to itself
What is Autocrine signaling?
Biological Catalysts made of proteins
Are Eukaryotes or Prokaryotes bigger? (Hint: No hint)
What is Eukaryote?
Sharing of valence electrons by 2 atoms to create a molecule.
What is a covalent bond?
What is Transcription? :)
The signal is converted into a form that can produce a cellular response. (Hint: After reception)
What is Transduction?
Starts with one set of molecules and turns them into something new by forming or breaking chemical bonds.
What is a chemical reaction?
Includes, protists, plants, fungi, and animals.
What is Eukaryotes?
What is the difference between a nonpolar covalent and polar covalent bond?
Sharing the electrons is equal in one and not equal in the other.
A short segment of DNA synthesized on a template strand during DNA Replication.
What is an Okazaki fragment?
Binds to a receptor protein in a lock and key fashion, causing the receptor to change shape.
What is a Ligand?
Name 2 things that cause an enzyme to denature.
What are high temperatures and adding inhibitors?
1. Cells are the fundamental units of life.
2. All Organisms have cells.
3. All cells come from preexisting cells.
(Hint: cell stuff)
What is Cell Theory?
Bonds weaken in water and molecules break apart easier.
Sequence of RNA primers bound to a region of single-stranded DNA to initiate DNA replication.
What is an RNA Primer?
Name 4 methods used by cells to communicate.
Autocrine signaling, Juxtacrine signaling, Paracrine signaling, Endocrine signaling
Occurs at the end of an enzymatic reaction. (Hint: 1st step substrates)
What are products?
Name 2 differences between Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes.
Eukaryotes have a nucleus, while the Prokaryotes don't.
Prokaryotes are unicellular, while Eukaryotes are multicellular.
One difference between Cation and Anion bonds.
Cations are positively charged and anions are negatively charged.
Name 3 processes that increase genetic diversity. (Hint: ...)
1. "Crossing over" or recombination
2. Random Assortment
3. Random Fertilization
Name at least 1 or 2 common types of membrane receptor proteins.
G-protein coupled receptors
Receptor tyrosine kinases
Ion channel receptors
Name the 2 types of metabolic reactions.
What are Endergonic and Exergonic Reactions?
How did Eukaryotes evolve from Prokaryotes?
What is Endosymbiosis?
Results from hydrogen bonds b/w molecules at surface of water; caused by strong molecular interactions.
What is High surface tension?
