Basic Photosynthesis
Reactant/input of photosynthesis that supplies the carbon to produce glucose
What is carbon dioxide (CO2)?
This molecule becomes excited by photons, causing it to give its electron to an electron acceptor
What is chlorophyll?
Phase of cell cycle that includes Gap 1, Synthesis, and Gap 2 stages.
What is Interphase?
Type of asexual reproduction in eukaryotes in which the product is two genetically identical diploid offspring cells
What is mitosis?
Type of sexual reproduction that results in the production of four haploid gametes that are not genetically identical.
What is meiosis?
True or False?
Carbon dioxide enters and oxygen exits through the stomata of the plant.
What is TRUE?
Phase of the Calvin Cycle in which Ribulose biphosphate (RuBP) is produced from G3P to complete the cycle
What is Regeneration?
What is Synthesis (S) stage/phase?
Type of asexual reproduction in prokaryotes in which the product is two genetically identical diploid offspring cells
What is binary fission?
Image of an individual's chromosomes, pairs 1-23
What is a karyotype?
Wavelengths of light absorbed by chlorophyll
What are red and blue wavelengths?
This molecule transports energy from the light-dependent reactions to the Calvin Cycle
What is NADPH?
Describes how a malignant tumor has spread to another part of the body
What is metastasis?
Describes chromosomes that contain the same information; produced by DNA synthesis
What are sister chromatids?
Event that occurs in Prophase I in which pieces of non-homologous chromosomes switch places
What is crossing over?
Describes the movement of water into the roots of the plant, through its vascular tissue, and out of the stomata into the atmosphere
What is transpiration?
Type of photosynthesis in which the stomata of the plants are open at night; trade-off is slow growth for reduced water loss
What is Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM)?
A cell will arrest in Gap 0 before it replicates its genome if it cannot pass this checkpoint.
What is Gap 1 checkpoint?
What is cytokinesis?
Term used to describe chromosomes that code for the same characters; one comes from mother and other comes from father.
What are homologous chromosomes?
What is the stroma?
Occurs when carbon dioxide levels are low; Rubisco readily reacts with oxygen to produce ATP and carbon dioxide but not glucose
What is photorespiration?
Characteristic that cancer cells LACK that allows them to grow into tumors; in other words, they continue to divide even as they touch other cells
What is density-dependent/contact inhibition?
Phase of mitosis in which sister chromatids separate
What is anaphase?
Phase of meiosis in which sister chromatids separate
What is anaphase II?
