Macromolecules
This macromolecule is made of simple sugars and serves as the primary energy source for most organisms.
What are carbohydrates?
This is the instrument used to magnify objects.
What is a microscope?
This organelle stores the cell’s genetic material and is the control center of the cell.
What is the nucleus?
This scientist contributed to the discovery of the DNA helical structure (name one).
Who is James Watson, Francis Crick, or Rosalind Franklin?
This element has the symbol Na.
What is sodium?
This macromolecule is responsible for the storage of genetic information.
What are nucleic acids (DNA)?
This is the tool used to light a bunsen burner.
What is a striker?
This organelle is often called the 'powerhouse of the cell' because it generates ATP through cellular respiration.
What is the mitochondria?
The nobel prize winner who is a Wooster Alum
Who is Martha Chase?
A solution of this pH is considered to be neutral.
What is 7?
These macromolecules are responsible for catalyzing biochemical reactions.
What are proteins (enzymes)?
This is a tool that we use in microbiology to measure amounts less than 1mL.
What is a micropipette?
This organelle comes in two forms, rough and smooth, and is involved in protein and lipid synthesis.
What is the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)?
The scientist who discovered the citric acid cycle.
Who is Hans Krebs?
This protein in red blood cells carries oxygen from the lungs to the tissues.
What is hemoglobin?
These are the three classes of lipids found in the plasma membrane (name one).
What are phospholipids, cholesterol, and glycolipids?
This is a tool used to measure volume.
This organelle produces proteins.
What is the ribosome?
The scientist who developed x-ray crystallography techniques.
Who is Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin?
These are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons.
What are isotopes?
These are the types of RNA (name 3, bonus points if you name five!).
What are mRNA, tRNA, rRNA, miRNA, and snRNA?
This technique measures the absorbance of light by a sample at specific wavelengths.
What is spectroscopy?
These membrane-bound organelles contain digestive enzymes that break down waste and cellular debris.
What is a lysosome?
This scientist developed the first method of DNA sequencing.
Who is Fred Sanger?
This principle explains that genetic information flows from DNA to RNA to protein (you need the exact name to answer).
What is the Central Dogma?
