Prokaryotes vs. Eukaryotes
These cells are obligatorily unicellular, and have circular DNA found in a nucleoid region.
What is a prokaryote?
This is where the majority of a plant cell's water is stored.
What is the large central vacuole?
This is where the process of photosynthesis occurs.
What is the chloroplast?
This is a quickly-replicating pathogen that reproduces either by binary fission or conjugation and has its own ribosomes.
What is a bacterial pathogen?
This is how scientists refer to observations of the sudden appearance of a new species in the fossil record.
What is punctuated equilibrium?
These cells contain linear DNA housed in a nucleus and reproduce through mitosis.
What is a eukaryote?
These kinds of cells can be photosynthetic without using a chloroplast.
This process has to do with STORING energy in the form of glucose.
What is photosynthesis?
This type of pathogen can integrate part of its own genome into the genome of its host cell.
What is a virus?
This classificationof biomolecule provides quick and easily accessible energy for the cell to use.
What is a carbohydrate?
Cells
What are all living things made of?
This type of cell performs cellular respiration using a mitochondria.
Eukaryotic Cells
OR
Plant Cells AND Animal Cells
These are the products of cellular respiration.
What is ATP, water, and carbon dioxide?
This is a type of pathogen that contains genetic material, a lipid envelope, a protein capsid, and is considered non-living.
What is a virus?
Enzymes function as catalysts by _________ the ________ energy required by a reaction.
Enzymes function as catalysts by lowering the activation energy required by a reaction.
The defining feature of this cell is that they have membrane-bound organelles.
Both of these organelles are proposed to have been the result of one prokaryote engulfing another one, resulting in multiple membranes having to do with cell energy.
What are mitochondria and chloroplasts?
This process has to do with CONVERTING stored energy into USEABLE energy for the cell to use.
What is cellular respiration?
Because it requires a host to replicate, it is not made of cells, and it can't make its own proteins.
Why is a virus considered non-living?
This is what happens when two populations of the same species become reproductively isolated.
They both have a cytoplasm, a cell membrane, ribosomes, and genetic material. Both are living organisms.
What features do prokaryotes and eukaryotes share?
This process occurs in plants but not animals.
What is photosynthesis?
The products of one reaction are the reactants of the other.
How are the formulas of photosynthesis and cellular respiration related?
This is where the genetic information is stored in a viral pathogen - similar to how a nucleus protects eukaryotic DNA.
What is a protein capsid?
Reduction in this characteristic leads to destabilization of an ecosystem.
What is biodiversity?
