Cell Cycle
What are the two parts of the cell cycle?
What is interphase and mitosis
This is the sum of all the chemical reactions that occur in the body that provide the energy for life's processes.
What is metabolism
One long continuous thread of DNA that consists of thousands of genes and regulatory information.
What is a chromosome.
What is the most common source of energy for creating ATP (comes from our diet).
What are macromolecules
What are the four phases of mitosis?
What is prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
This type of reaction releases energy.
What is exothermic
What three structures make up the ATP molecule.
What is the nitrogen base (adenine), sugar ring (ribose), and three phosphate groups.
What is ATP short for?
What is adenosine triphosphate.
This is the chemical formula for creating ATP
What is, ADP + P + energy = ATP
What are the three phases of interphase?
This is the area on the enzyme that allows for the binding of substrates.
What is the active site
Where is the most energy in the ATP molecule located?
What is between the second and third phosphate chemical bonds.
This is a molecule that speeds up a biochemical reaction by lowering the activation energy.
What is a catalyst
This is the amount of energy needed to make a chemical reaction start (what catalysts lower to speed up the reaction).
What is activation energy
What occurs during anaphase?
This is what occurs when an enzyme's environment is changed and the enzyme loses biological activity.
What is denaturation
What occurs when ATP loses a phosphate group and becomes ADP.
What is an exothermic reaction/release of energy.
These are the substances that are changed during a chemical reaction.
What are reactants
The law of conservation of energy states
What completes the process of cytokinesis in animal cells?
What is the cleavage furrow?
These are some ways that the rate of a chemical reaction can be changed.
What are temperature, pH, substrate concentration, catalysts, and competitive inhibitors.
What is the name of the process that creates ATP from ADP.
What is cellular respiration.
This is the region of condensed chromosomes that look pinched.
What is the centrosome
This is what occurs during the S phase of interphase.
What is DNA replication
