100
Acid
An acid is a compound that releases a protein when it dissolves in water
100
Cell Theory
- All organisms are made of cells - All existing cells are produced by other living cells - The cell is the most basic unit of life
100
ATP
ATP is a molecule that transfers energy from the breakdown of food molecules to cell processes
100
Prophase
DNA and proteins condense into tightly coiled chromosomes
200
Gene
A gene is nothing more than a segment of DNA that stores genetic information
200
Substrate
Substrates are the specific reactants that an enzyme acts on
200
Vesicles
Vesicles isolate and transport specific molecules
200
ADP
ADP is a lower-level energy molecule that can becoe ATP by the addition of a phosphate group
200
Metaphase
Spindle fibers attach to each chromosome
300
Evolution
Evolution is the change in living things over time
300
Covalent bond
A covalent bond forms when atoms share a pair of electrons
300
Passive transport
Passive transport is the movement of molecules across a cell membrane without energy input from the cell
300
Glycolysis
Glycolysis splits glucose into two three-carbon molecules and makes two molecules of ATP
300
Anaphase
Chromatids separate to opposite sides of the cell
400
Hypothesis
A hypothesis is a proposed answer for a scientific question
400
Ionic bond
An ionic bond forms through the electrical force between oppositely charged ions
400
Lysosomes
Lysosomes digest and recycle foreign materials or worn-out parts
400
Calvin Cycle
Calvin cycle is the process by which a photosynthetic organism uses energy to synthesize simple sugars
400
Telophase
Nuclear membranes start to form, chromosomes begin to uncoil, and the spindle fibers fall apart
500
Adaption
An inherited trait that gives an advantage to individual organisms and is passed on to future generations is an adaption
500
Compound
A compound is a substance made of atoms of different elements bonded together in a certain ratio
500
Endoplasmic reticulum
The endoplasmic reticulum aids in the production of proteins and lipids
500
Krebs Cycle
The Krebs Cycle produces molecules that carry energy to the second part of cellular respiration
500
Metastasize
Metastasize is when some of the cancer cells break away from the tumor
