Macromolecules
This element is the base of all life
What is CARBON
This molecule is important for providing energy to your cells.
What is ATP?
This process is considered the opposite of photosynthesis.
What is cellular respiration?
This process is considered the opposite of cellular respiration.
What is photosynthesis?
This organelle stores the genetic information of the cell. It is like a library of "How To" books.
What is the nucleus?
This macromolecule is not soluble in water and is NOT a polymer
What is lipids
This molecule is considered a rechargeable battery. When a phosphate group is added, it becomes ATP.
What is ADP?
This gas is produced from photosynthesis.
What is oxygen gas?
This important food molecule is produced by plants during photosynthesis; this compound is broken down, giving us the energy our cells need.
What is sugar (or glucose)?
ALL cells contain this component made of a phospholipid bilayer.
What is a cell membrane?
This macromolecules includes categories such as enzymes and receptors.
What is protein?
What molecule provides more energy- ATP or ADP?
What is ATP?
The energy for photosynthesis comes from where?
What is the sun?
This product of cellular respiration is used by plants in photosynthesis.
What is carbon dioxide?
This organelle is only present in plants and other photosynthetic organisms and is important for photosynthesis.
What is the chloroplast?
This macromolecule stores genetic information.
What is nucleic acid?
Plants and some other organisms fix carbon dioxide in the form of sugar using the sun's energy in this process.
What is photosynthesis?
This reactant of photosynthesis makes up 60% of the human body.
What is water?
This pathway is the first step in cellular respiration; it converts glucose to pyruvic acid.
What is glycolysis?
These cell components are made up of RNA and proteins. They read a message sent from the nucleus and synthesizes proteins based on that message.
What are ribosomes?
This property of lipids (phospholipids) make them excellent components of membranes, allowing membranes to create a barrier for cells.
What is their hydrophobicity (they are hydrophobic and do not like water)
This process generates 36-42 molecules of ATP through the steps glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and electron transport.
This product of photosynthesis is what humans obtain their energy from.
What is sugar?
If there isn't enough oxygen in the body, this process can be performed as an alternative to cellular respiration.
What is fermentation?
This organelle packages and modifies proteins destined for the outer membrane.
What is the Golgi apparatus?
