Chemistry of Life
One building block of macromolecules
What is a monomer?
* All organisms are made of cells. * All existing cells are produced by other cells. * The cell is the most basic unit of life.
What is the cell theory?
This type of plant is flowering for the purpose of reproduction.
What is an angiosperm?
A molecule that provides/transfers energy from the breakdown of food molecules to cell processes?
What is ATP?
The process that produces diploid identical cells for all somatic cells.
What is Mitosis?
An attraction or bond between a slightly positive hydrogen atom and a slightly negative atom, often oxygen or nitrogen.
What is a hydrogen bond?
Consists of closely layered stacks of membrane-enclosed spaces that process, sort, and deliver proteins.
What is the Golgi complex (apparatus)?
Transports water and organic compounds to all parts of the plant.
What is the xylem?
A pigment found in chloroplasts that absorbs some of the energy in visible light.
What is chlorophyll?
The phase of the cell cycle where the cell is growing, replicating DNA and doing its normal cell function.
What is interphase?
The attraction among molecules of water.
What is cohesion?
This macromolecule makes up the cell membrane by forming a bilayer.
What is a lipid or phospholipid?
This type of plant has cones.
What is a gymnosperm?
The reactants of one are the products of the other
What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?
Substance that is known to to promote the development of cancer. fancy word
What is a carcinogen?
Nonpolar molecules that include fats, oils, and cholesterol.
What is a lipid?
The movement of molecules across a cell membrane without energy.
What is passive transport?
These are the two cones found in a sexually reproducing gymnosperm
What are seed cones and pollen cones?
Occurs in the mitochondria and produces THE MOST ATP.
What is the Electron transport chain?
this symbol 2n
What is diploid cell?
A building block of proteins that contains carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen.
What is an amino acid?
A solution that has a higher concentration of dissolved particles than a cell.
What is hypertonic?
This equation explains the process of photosynthesis (label reactants and products.
What is 6CO2 + 6 H2O => C6H12O6 + 6O2
reactants products
6O2 + glucose yields 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP
What is the cellular respiration equation?
The phases of mitosis when chromosomes line up across the center of the cell
What ain metaphase?
