Energy!
Light energy from the sun is converted to chemical energy when it is stored in the bonds of glucose during this process.
Photosynthesis
A mutation in genes related to cell cycle regulation may lead to this disease
cancer (or tumors)
The complementary DNA sequence DNA polymerase would form to this molecule:
5' TAC GGC AAT 3'
3' ATG CCG TTA 5'
The central dogma says genetic information goes from __1___ --> __2__ --> __3__
DNA --> RNA --> Protein
grass --> cricket --> bird --> snake
In the food chain above, who is the primary consumer?
cricket
A student is measuring the rate of photosynthesis in leaf disks they placed in a cup of baking soda solution. What is one way they could increase the rate of photosynthesis?
- increase light
- increase baking soda (CO2)
The stage of mitosis when all the chromosomes are aligned in the middle of a cell
Metaphase
The sequence of this part of a DNA molecule gives organisms their traits
the nucleotides or nitrogenous base
The process that uses DNA to create a mRNA molecule using RNA polymerase is called this.
Transcription
grass --> cricket --> bird --> snake
If the autotroph trophic level contains 10,000 calories, then how much energy will the snake eventually receive?
10 calories
In aerobic respiration, organisms break down __1__ using oxygen to form __2__ energy and the waste products __3__ and ___4__.
1: Sugar/glucose
2: ATP
3+4: Carbon dioxide and water
__1__ is stage of the cell cycle where DNA is replicated, while __2__ is the stage where DNA is divided evenly into the two daughter cells.
1: S phase
2: Mitosis
These two pieces of DNA nucleotides are found in the backbone of the molecule and are held together by covalent bonds.
Deoxyribose sugar and phosphate
In Transcription, the gene sequence TAC GGG ATT would create a mRNA molecule with this sequence.
AUG CCC UAA
__1__ tissue in plants transports water to the leaves to be used in photosynthesis while __2__ tissue transports sugars made in photosynthesis to the rest of the plant.
1: Xylem
2: Phloem
In plants, __1__ is the organelle that performs photosynthesis, while __2__ is the organelle that performs cellular respiration.
1: Chloroplasts
2: Mitochondria
What are the stages of mitosis in order from start to finish?
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
Newly synthesized molecules of DNA have one completely original strand of DNA and one newly formed DNA strand. Because of this, DNA replication is concerned to be this type of process.
Semi-conservative
In translation, the mRNA sequence AUG CCC UAA would create this amino acid sequence. (Hint- use codon chart!)
Methionine - Proline - STOP
OR
Methionine - Proline
Food is pushed through the digestive tract by smooth muscles. Then, the nutrients are absorbed by the intestines and transported through the blood. Hormones tell somatic cells to pick up the nutrients. What body systems are involved in this scenario?
Digestive: break down and absorb food
Muscular: move food through digestive tract
Circulatory: blood transports nutrients
Endocrine: hormones signal for cells to take up nutrients
Glucose and oxygen are the __1__ of photosynthesis and the __2__ of cellular respiration
1: products
2: reactants
If an organism has 20 chromosomes in their normal somatic cells, how many chromosomes will each daughter cell have after mitosis?
20 chromosomes
All organisms share a universal genetic code, even though they all look very different. What does this mean about their DNA?
Organisms have DNA made out of the same nucleotides (universal), but in different sequences which allows them to have different traits.
A mutation occurs during transcription and instead of AUG CCC UAA, this molecule is transcribed: AUG CCA UAA. How is the protein affected?
it is not. CAA and CCC both code for Proline
The tiny pores on the bottoms of leaves that allow for gas exchange and transpiration to occur are called this.
Stomata
