200

DNA and RNA are examples of this macromolecule.

What are nucleic acids?

200

Enzymes belong to this class of macromolecule.

What are proteins?

What is needs to happen during Interphase so cells can undergo Mitosis?

What is DNA replication?

200

The site of protein synthesis in both Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cells.

What are ribosomes?

200

The three parts of a DNA nucleotide

What are deoxyribose sugar, phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base?


300

Proteins that speed up chemical reactions inside the body. They often end in the suffix "-ase."

What are enzymes?

300

Amino acids are the monomer of this macromolecule.

What are proteins?

300

This type of cell transport moves material against the concentration gradient. (From low to high)

What is active transport?

300

Large or polar molecules move down their concentration gradient, through a transmembrane protein.

What is facilitated diffusion?

300

A long stretch of DNA that codes for a trait.

What is a gene?

400

This specific type of lipid molecule is the major component in the cell's membrane. It contains a polar phosphate head group, and nonpolar fatty acid tails.

What is a phospholipid?

400

When proteins unfold and lose their 3D structure due to high temperatures or drastic changes in pH.

What is "denature?"

400

Non-sister chromatids swap genetic information during meiosis.

What is crossing over?

400

Cell division that results in 4, haploid, genetically unique daughter cells.

What is meiosis?

400

DNA replication is called _____ - ___________. This is why it results in a DNA molecule that has one old strand and one newly made strand.

What is "semi-conservative"?
500

This macromolecule is made up of monosaccharide monomers.

What is "isotonic?"

500

The name of the enzyme that creates new DNA strands during DNA replication.
