Macromolecules
This macromolecule is made of monosaccharides and provides quick energy for cells.
What are carbohydrates?
This organelle is the “powerhouse” of the cell and produces ATP.
What is the mitochondria?
Water moves across a semipermeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to high solute concentration.
What is osmosis?
This type of cell division produces two identical diploid cells.
What is mitosis?
In the gummy bear lab the mass of the “cell” increased when placed in this type of solution. (Don't say sugar or salt)
What is a hypotonic solution?
Ribosomes are responsible for making this macromolecule, which is made of amino acids.
What are proteins?
These organelles carry out photosynthesis to make chemical energy in plant cells.
What are chloroplasts?
Molecules move from high concentration to low concentration without using energy.
What is diffusion?
This type of cell division produces four unique haploid cells.
What is meiosis?
In a lab involving any plant, this process requires carbon dioxide to occur.
What is photosynthesis?
These macromolecules are hydrophobic, made of glycerol and fatty acids, and form cell membranes.
What are lipids?
This organelle makes proteins by connecting amino acids together.
What are ribosomes?
Red blood cells shrink when placed in this type of solution.
What is a hypertonic solution?
This type of asexual reproduction occurs in bacteria and produces two identical cells.
What is binary fission?
In the gummy bear lab, which substance had LARGER MOLECULES causing it to move more slowly and not diffuse through the gummy bear gel structure as readily.
What is sugar?
This macromolecule is composed of nucleotides and stores genetic information.
What are nucleic acids?
This process occurs in all eukaryotic cells and breaks down sugars to release energy.
What is cellular respiration?
This type of transport does not require energy and includes diffusion, osmosis, and facilitated diffusion.
What is passive transport?
Rapid growth occurs in this phase of the cell cycle before DNA is duplicated.
What is G1 phase?
During cellular respiration, these two waste products must be excreted to maintain homeostasis.
What are carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water (H₂O)?
These are the four main macromolecules in cells.
What are carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids?
If this organelle were destroyed, it would most disrupt the cytoplasm of a cell.
What is the cell membrane?
When a cell uses energy (ATP) to move molecules from low concentration to high concentration, this process is happening.
What is active transport?
Uncontrolled mitosis due to failure of chemical signals can result in this.
What is cancer or tumor formation?
DOUBLE UP, DOUBLE UP!
The gummy bear lab demonstrated that water moved across the membrane to balance concentrations, illustrating this process in cells..
What is osmosis?
