What is an electron?
The body's ability to maintain stability.
What is Homeostasis?
The outer most layrer of a plant cell
What is a cell wall?
C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy
What is the chemical equation for cellular repiration?
The base pair rule says these nucleatide bases must be paired together.
What is adenine and thymine and guanine and cytosine?
The way that elements are arranged on the periodic table. ( the atomic number is?)
What is proton number?
This is the function of enzymes.
What is speed up reactions that take place in cells?
This type of cell has membrane bound organelles.
What is a eukaryotic cell?
This is how energy is released for use in the cell.
The third phosphate group is broken and energy is released.
How RNA is different from DNA
What is a single strand, has a ribose, comes in 3 forms (mRNA, tRNA, rRNA), and has uracil instead of thymine
These are the characteristics life- name at least 3.
What is reproduce, use energy, made of cells, change over time, grow and change, maintain homeostasis, respond to their environment, and are based on a universal genetic code.
How enzymes work best..
What is optiomal pH and optimal temperatures?
This is the diffusion of water across a cell membrane.
What is osmosis?
This is where photosynthesis takes place.
What is the chloroplast?
A set of three nucleatide letters together that codes for an amino acid
What is a codon?
This property of water explains how water sticks to water.
What is cohesion?
The macromolecules of life.
What are carohydrates, proteins, lipids and nucleic acids?
THis type of transport requires no energy.
What is passive transport?
Takes place in the thylokoids and produces oxygen.
What is the light reactions (photosynthesis)?
The order of steps in mitosis
What is prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase?
The amount of energy needed to change the temperature of a substance (water has a high one).
What is heat capacity?
The monomer of protein
What is an amino acid?
This occurs when a cell swells due to water moving into the cell.
WHat is a hypotinc solution?
Respiration without oxygen present
What is anaerobic respiration?
If you cross two heterozygous purple pea plants, this percentage of their offspring will be white homozygotes.
What is 25%?
