100

The portion of a cell that contains the genetic material.

What is the nucleus?

100

This special property of water allows a spider to walk on water.

High Surface Tension

100

Starting with DNA, what is the sequence of molecules that, in order, results in a protein?

DNA -> mRNA -> amino acid

100

This is the the phase that the cell is in for the majority of its life. During this phase, chromatin is present.

What is INTERPHASE

100

This process requires oxygen and creates ATP in the inner membrane of the mitochondria.

What is the ELECTRON TRANSPORT CHAIN

200

The powerhouse of the cell, generates ATP through the Kreb Cycle

What is the mitochondria?

200

What is the monomer of a carbohydrate?

What is MONOSACCHARIDE

200

The process of converting DNA into mRNA

What is transcription?

200

This phase aligns the chromosomes down the center plate before moving away from their sister chromatids.

What is METAPHASE

200

This pigment converts solar energy to chemical energy in the form of ATP for the light dependent reaction of photosynthesis.

What is CHLOROPHYLL

300

An organelle that produces protein from mRNA

What is the ribosome?

300

This type of cellular transport requires energy to move from a low concentration to a high concentration.

What is ACTIVE TRANSPORT

300

The class of mutation resulting from adding OR removing a nucleotide from the sequence and is particularly disastrous to protein synthesis.

What is a frameshift.

300

This is the name of the female gamete 

What is an EGG

300

This enzyme is used to unzip a double helix for replication.

What is HELICASE

400

An organelle used to package, store and ship products of the cell

What is the Golgi apparatus

400

This macromolecule is responsible for making up a large part of the cell membrane.

What are LIPIDS

400

Name the START codon and the three STOP codons.

START - AUG

STOP - UAG, UAA, UGA

400

This phase is where chromosomes are fully visible and the nuclear envelope disappears.

What is PROPHASE

400

This organelle is responsible for linking amino acids together to form proteins.

What is a RIBOSOME

500

an organelle filled with enzymes that assists with breaking down of waste in the cell.

What is a lysosome?

500

This type of molecule acts as a catalyst to speed up reactions. 

What is an ENZYME?

500

You are given the following DNA strand:

TAC TTA GGC GAT TAG CAA CTT ACT

The strand is mutated in the following way:

TAC TTA GGC GAT TAG CAG CTT ACT

What type of mutation is this?  Include both the change in nucleotides AND how it affects the amino acid.

Substitution & Silent

500

This term represents two chromosomes of the same size and are that are coded for the same alleles.

What are HOMOLOGOUS CHROMOSOMES

500

These are the three organelles that are found ONLY in plant cells.

What is CHLOROPLAST, CELL WALL, CENTRAL VACUOLE
