Unit 1
The building blocks of life.
What are cells?
The four main macromolecules for life.
What are carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids?
A specialized structure within a cell.
What is an organelle?
Carbon Dioxide, Water, and Light Energy
What are the reactants for photosynthesis?
Glucose and Oxygen
What are the reactants of cellular respiration?
The acronym CHNOPS stands for this.
What is carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, and sulfur?
The importance of carbohydrates for life.
What is energy?
This organelle is found in plant cells, but not animal cells.
What is chloroplast or cell wall?
Glucose and Oxygen
What are the products of photosynthesis?
Carbon Dioxide, Water, and ATP
What are the products of cellular respiration?
Water is this type of molecule- which allows for its properties of adhesion, cohesion, surface tension, and high specific heat capacity.
What is a polar molecule?
The three categories of carbohydrates important for life.
What are simple carbohydrates, complex carbohydrates, and fiber?
The brain of the cell-stores DNA and sends messages throughout.
Photosynthesis primarily occurs in this organelle.
What is a chloroplast?
Cellular respiration primarily occurs in this organelle.
What is the mitochondria?
The study of life.
What is Biology?
The 4 nucleotide base pairs for DNA.
What are adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine?
The cell theory consists of these 3 statements.
What is..
1. All living things are made of cells.
2. Cells are the basic structure and function of all living things.
3. All cells come from preexisting cells.
This step in photosynthesis can occur without light.
What is the Calvin Cycle?
The three steps of cellular respiration.
What are glycolosis, Krebb's Cycle, and electron transport chain?
The classification of life in order from smallest to largest.
What is atom, molecule, macromolecule, organelle, cell, tissue, organ, organism, population, community, ecosystem, biosphere?
The cell membrane is made of this.
What is a phospholipid bilayer?
The powerhouse of the cell.
What is the mitochondria?
The location on a leaf where oxygen leaves and carbon dioxide enters.
What is the stoma?
This step in cellular respiration creates the most ATP.
What is the electron transport chain?
