Characteristics of Life
The synthesis and transfer of DNA is key to this characteristic
Reproduction
The powerhouse of the cell
Mitochondria
Chromosomes pull away from each other towards the poles in this phase
Anaphase
Cytosine pairs with this nucleic acid
Guanine
acetaminophen (Tylenol)
Cells that are organized to perform a specific function are called this
Tissues
The center of DNA storage and replication
Nucleus
90% of the cell's lifespan is spent in this phase
Interphase
The level of protein structure that determines the final 3-D shape
Tertiary structure
Non-drowsy oral allergy medication
loratadine (Claritin)
The ability of some bacteria to survive entirely on iron is an example of this characteristic
Energy Processing
Unique energy processing organelle found in most plants
Chloroplast
DNA is formed into chromosomes in this phase
Prophase
The start codon encodes for this amino acid
Methionine
Reduces pain and swelling and is safe for children 6 months and older
ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin)
The five senses are an example of this characteristic
Response to Stimuli
Site of most lipid synthesis
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
The final stage of mitosis, when the nucleus reforms and the cell divides in two
Telophase
This four-unit protein exhibits quaternary structure
Hemoglobin
The doxylamine in Nyquil Cold and Flu is used to treat this symptom
Runny nose
Maintaining body temperature and blood pH is an example of this characteristic
Homeostasis
Site of ribosome synthesis
Nucleolus
The organelles responsible for deploying mitotic spindle fibers
Centrioles
This base replaces thymine in RNA
Uracil
The "-D" (for decongestant) in "Claritin-D"
Pseudoephedrine
