Tour of the Cell
What is the name of the part of the cell that contains the DNA?
What is the nucleus?
Name the three parts of normal cellular respiration?
What are Glycolysis, Krebs Cycle, Electron Transport Chain?
What are the two stages of photosynthesis?
What is light reactions and Calvin Cycle (light independent reactions)?
Explain Gregor Mendel's contribution to what we know of genetics.
What is the inheritance of traits from mother and father?
OR
What is principle of independent assortment?
How does location of genes affect how likely it is that they will be inherited together?
What is "The closer together they are, the more likely to be inherited together"?
What is the name of the organelle that makes proteins using instructions from the nucleus?
What is a ribosome?
Which of the three normal parts of cellular respiration do NOT require oxgen?
What is glycolysis?
Where do the light reactions occur? Where does the Calvin Cycle occur?
Light reactions - what are the thylakoids?
Calvin Cycle - What is the stroma?
What is the difference between mitosis and meiosis. Think of where it occurs and how the process is the same or different.
What is...Mitosis occurs in all body (somatic) cells whereas meiosis occurs only in the gametes. Mitosis requires one cycle while meiosis requires 2. The goal of mitosis is to produce an exact replica, whereas meiosis' goal is to produce cells with exactly half the number of chromosomes.
What is the name for a series of 3 bases?
What is a codon?
What organelle contains ribosomes on it?
What is the rough endoplasmic reticulum?
What is the number of ATP molecules produced by the electron transport chain and ATP synthase process?
What is 34 ATPs?
What is the equation for photosynthesis?
What is 6 CO2 + 6H2O = C6H12O6 + 6O2?
How is cytokinesis different in plant cells and animal cells?
What is the formation of a cell plate?
Explain the difference between mRNA and tRNA and what each does.
What are messenger and transfer RNA?
What is the special name for diffusion of water based on concentration rates?
What is osmosis?
What process occurs in the cytoplasm?
What is glycolysis?
What are the products of the light reactions?
What are NADPH, ATP and oxygen?
What are the 4 stages of mitosis (or meiosis II)?
What are Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase?
Why is a pedigree useful?
What means of particle transport requires an input of energy from the cell to make it happen?
What is active transport?
What is a main source of muscle soreness after exercise?
What is lactic acid fermentation?
Can the Calvin Cycle (light independent reactions) occur during indefinite dark? Why or why not?
No! The Calvin Cycle requires the products of light reactions to continue.
What are...
Prophase = Nuclear envelope disappears, chromosomes visible, spindle fibers appear.
Metaphase = Chromosomes line up on the spindle fibers.
Anaphase = Spindle fibers shorten and sister chromosomes separate.
Telophase = Cells complete division and nuclear envelope re-forms.
What does an open circle represent on a pedigree?
What is a person without the trait?
