The structural shape of a DNA molecule, often described as a "twisted ladder."
Double Helix
100
What type of cell is this and how do you know?
Prokaryotic... No nucleus!
200
What is the major difference between a prokaryotic and a eukaryotic cell?
Prokaryotic cells do NOT have a nucleus while Eukaryotic cells do.
200
These are the monomers (building blocks) of proteins.
Amino Acids
200
The primary molecule produced during cellular respiration... think: "energy currency"
ATP
200
According to base-pairing rules, Adenine always pairs with this base in DNA.
Thymine
200
The green pigment that captures light energy for photosynthesis.
Chlorophyll

400
The three parts of the Cell Theory: all living things are made of cells, cells are the basic unit of life, and...
All cells come from pre-existing cells
400
This reaction type removes a water molecule to join two monomers together.

400
What are the base pairing rules for a DNA molecule and what bonds hold them together in the double strand?
A-T-2 Hydrogen Bonds
C-G-3 Hydrogen Bonds
400
This organelle controls what goes in and/or out of a cell... found in ALL cell types
Cell Membrane
500
What is the difference between an autotroph and a heterotroph?
Autotrophs can "make" their own food for energy while Heterotrophs have to eat other organisms for energy
500
List the 4 biomolecules and their functions within the body... I will give hints...
Protein - Build Muscle + Control body processes
Carbs - Main source of energy
Lipids - Energy Storage + Insulation
Nucleic Acids - Store genetic info.

Mitochondria: Glucose + Oxygen
500
What is the complementary DNA strand of a 5' sequence that reads: A G C T C G A A
3' T C G A G C T T
500
