Biology 1st Semester Review

Biology Review 1

100

These are the building blocks of carbohydrates/starches:

Simple sugars!

200

What is the monomer of a carbohydrate?

What is MONOSACCHARIDE

300

This type of cellular transport requires energy to move from a low concentration to a high concentration.

What is ACTIVE TRANSPORT

400

This macromolecule is responsible for making up a large part of the cell membrane.

What are LIPIDS

500

This acts as a catalyst to speed up reactions. It is specific to temperature and pH levels.

What is an ENZYME

Cells

100

This type of cell does not contain a nucleus.

What is a Prokaryotic cell

200

This type of cell includes things like Chloroplast and cell walls.

What is plant cells

300

This Organelle is the powerhouse of the Cell and produces all the energy that a cell needs to function

What is the Mitochondria

400

This type of organelle has is covered in Ribosomes and helps produce proteins 

What is Endoplasmic Reticulum/ Rough ER

500

This type of organelle is considered the storage unit of the cell. It can be very large inside

What is a Vacuole?

Energy in a Cell

100

This is the process in which plants and other autotrophs 

What is Photosynthesis?

200

This the process that is called the inverse of photosynthesis.

What is cellular respiration?

300

This molecule is the energy molecule of cellular respiration.

What is ATP?

400

These are the products of Cellular Respiration

Carbon Dioxide + Water

CO₂ + H₂O

500

This is the chemical equation for photosynthesis

Co₂ + H₂O +Sunlight = C6_H12O₆ + O₂

Protein Synthesis

100

This is the name for the monomers which make up proteins

Amino Acids

200

This is the process in which mRNA gets a copy of DNA.

What is Transcription?

300

This process is where rRNA reads the script that mRNA brings to the ribosome.

What is Translation?

400

CGATATGCG

Transcribe this into its matching DNA set

GCTATACGC

500

Transcribe this into RNA

TAGAAACGGTAA

AUG UUU GCC AUU

Biology Review 2

100

This prominent scientist proposed the theory of natural selection after traveling to the Galapagos Islands

Charles Darwin

200

This process describes how organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and reproduce

What is Natural Selection

300

This is the term for a change in DNA that results in genetic variation 

What is a mutation

400

These are inherited traits that increase the chances of an organisms survival and reproduction

What are Adaptations

500

This evolutionary pattern occurs when unrelated species develop similar traits due to similar environments

What are analogous structures
