The Cell/Reproductive Cycles
The four stages of mitosis.
What is prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase?
The process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water.
What is photosynthesis?
Group name of carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and proteins.
What is macromolecules?
A set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and then release waste products.
What is cellular respiration?
Deoxyribose.
What is the sugar found in DNA?
The type of cell division that results in four daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell, as in the production of gametes and plant spores.
What is meiosis?
An organism that is able to that is able to make its own organic substances (food) from simple inorganic substances such as carbon dioxide.
What is an autotroph?
Monosaccharides, fatty acids, nucleotides, and amino acids.
What are the macromolecule monomers?
C6H12O6+6O2--->6CO2+6H2O+ATP(energy)
What is the equation for cellular respiration?
Ribose.
What is the sugar found in RNA?
The chromosomes or sister chromatids are separated and moved to opposite sides of the cell.
What is anaphase?
6CO2+12H2O+sunlight(energy)<--->C6H12O6+6O2
What is the equation for photosynthesis?
Macromolecules that consist of long chains of repetitive units of atoms.
What is polymers?
C6H12O6+6O2--->6CO2+6H2O+ATP(energy)
What is the equation for cellular respiration?
The nitrogenous base pairs in DNA.
What is adenine-thymine and guanine-cytosine?
The organelles that send out specialized tubules to connect to the chromosomes or sister chromatids and pull them apart to opposite sides of the cells.
What is centrioles?
The location in the cell where the light-dependent reactions take place.
What is the thylakoid membrane?
Has phosphate heads that are polar and hydrophyllic fatty acid tails that are non-polar or hydrophobic.
What is phospholipids?
Where glycolysis takes place.
What is the cytoplasm?
Uracil.
What is the nitrogenous base that takes the place of thymine in RNA?
The cytoplasmic division of a cell at the end of mitosis or meiosis that brings about the separation into two daughter cells.
What is cytokinesis?
The organelle that converts energy in food into ATP to be used as chemical energy by the cell.
What is the mitochondria?
Two polysaccharides found in plants.
What is starch and cellulose?
The stage in which NAD and FAD carry hydrogens to the electron transport chain.
What is the Kreb's cycle?
A type of mutation in which a nitrogenous base is either inserted or deleted which causes a change in the reading of codons and amino acids.
What is a frameshift?
