Chemistry of Life
Amino Acids make up this macromolecule
What are proteins?
The nucleus contains this molecule
That is DNA?
This is released into the synapse between to neurons
What is a neurotransmitter?
This molecule is produced during photosynthesis.
What is glucose?
Grass is an example of this in a food chain
What is a producer?
Glucose is an example of this type of macromolecule.
What are carbohydrates?
This is the organelle where proteins are formed
What are ribosomes?
This type of signaling is conducted over long distances in the body.
What is endocrine signaling?
What is the chloroplast?
An example of this symbiotic relationship is a bird cleaning the teeth of an alligator.
What is mutualism?
These bonds connect two amino acids together.
What are peptide bonds?
This organelle packages macromolecules to be transported to the rest of the cell.
This molecule is used as a secondary messenger in a signal transduction pathway.
What is cAMP?
When a cell isn't using oxygen, it is using this process.
What is anaerobic fermentation?
This type of organism can not produce its own food.
What is a heterotroph?
These molecules interact with enzymes to put them into the right structure to work. An example is thiamine pyrophosphate.
What are coenzymes?
This organelle works in apoptosis to destroy the cell.
What is the lysosome?
p53 is an example of this type of protein.
What is a repressor protein?
This process occurs in the mitochondrial matrix during cellular respiration.
What is the Krebs cycle?
This symbiotic relationship is when one organism is benefiting but the other is harmed.
What is parasitism?
This type of enzyme regulation is when another molecule binds to the enzyme at a location other than the active site.
What is allosteric regulation?
Plants undergo this process as a result of a loss water from the cell. It is the contraction of the protoplasts.
What is plasmolysis?
When a cell releases various cytokines, but not any antibodies, in response to an antigen, it is preforming this immune response.
What is cell-mediated immunity?
This is the metabolic reaction that results in the formation of ATP and GTP by the direct transfer of phosphoryl to ADP or GDP
What is substrate-level phosphorylation?
This is the concentration of toxins in an organism as a result of it ingesting other plants or animals in which the toxins are more widely disbursed.
What is biomagnification?
