Enzymes
Enzymes lower this to speed up reactions.
What is activation energy?
This type of organism generates its own heat metabolically (from within)
What is an endotherm?
During this phase of mitosis, the nuclear membrane dissolves and the chromosomes finish condensing.
What is prophase?
Different forms of the same gene.
What are alleles?
This variable is what is manipulated by the investigator.
What is the independent variable?
This is where the enzyme binds with a specific reactant and has a specific shape.
What is the active site?
Cellular respiration that uses oxygen.
What is aerobic respiration?
90% of the cell life cycle is spent in this part.
What is interphase?
This type of trait is coded by multiple genes which results in continuous variation.
What are polygenic traits?
This variable is the measured outcome.
What is the dependent variable?
An enzyme that breaks down protein via hydrolysis
What is a protease?
A cellular process where food molecules are converted into usable energy (ATP)
What is cellular respiration?
This is the term for the cytoplasm dividing.
What is cytokinesis?
The law that states alleles for one trait segregate independently from one another
What is the law of independent assortment?
This is the baseline for comparison.
What is the control group?
This is the enzyme found in pineapple juice that prevents jello from setting.
What is Bromelain?
This element is the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain.
A cell is this after going through meiosis and halving its chromosomes.
What is haploid?
The law that states for every trait we have, there are two separate alleles
What is the Law of Segregation?
The independent variable will have no affect on the dependent variable.
What is the null hypothesis?
This occurs when the temperature or pH goes outside of the optimal range for an enzyme.
What is denaturing?
Some fish in colder water will slow their metabolism and energy use, thus causing them to require less nutrients and oxygen.
What is the first aquatic ectotherm strategy?
Two parts of meiosis lead to genetic variation.
What are prophase 1 (crossing over) and metaphase 1?
This is the phenotypic ratio for a dihybrid cross where both individuals are heterozygous for both traits.
What is 9:3:3:1?
Based on our data, we do one of these two things to the null hypothesis
What is reject or fail to reject?
