100
acts as the template for protein synthesis
What is mRNA
100
(mRNA is used to direct the formation of a protein)
What is Translation
100
the breakdown of nutrients requires oxygen and ATP is produced by oxidative phosphorylation and electron transport
What is aerobic respiration
200
each organism is given 2 names, the genus and species
What is Nomenclature
200
C =
What is Class
200
a carrier molecule which guides certain amino acids to the protein synthesizing complex and directs their addition to a growing amino acid chain
What is tRNA
200
2. The ribosome travels along the mRNA molecule until it finds a _____________.
What is a start codon
200
bacteria that can use either aerobic respiration or anaerobic fermentation for energy production depending on the availability of oxygen
What is facultative anaerobe
300
a linear sequence of nucleotides that form a functional unit of the chromosome; the sequence of nucleotides that code for a particular protein
What is a Gene
300
P =
What is Phylum
300
an enzyme that copies (or transcribes) the template strand of DNA into a complimentary strand of messenger RNA
What is RNA polymerase
300
the ______________ of the tRNA binds to the codon of the mRNA and brings in the appropriate amino acid.
What is anticodon
300
the breakdown of nutrients does not require oxygen and ATP is produced by substrate-level phosphorylation
What is anaerobic fermentation
400
the building block or nucleic acids
What are Nucleotides
400
a collection of bacterial strains that share many common physiologic and genetic features
What is Species
400
(DNA is rewritten as RNA)
What is Transcription
400
The ribosome moves on to the next codon and a second tRNA molecule brings in the appropriate ___________.
What is amino acid
400
all the cellular processes required for an organism’s survival and replication
What is Bacterial Metabolism
500
long chains of nucleotides; stores genetic information (genes) and directs protein synthesis
What are Nucleic Acids
500
members have several important features in common but also have important differences
What is Genus
500
a protein which selects a particular region of DNA to be transcribed into RNA; this protein binds to a specific sequence of DNA and thereby starts the process of transcription
What is a promoter
500
The amino acids are connected by a _____________ bond and the first tRNA molecule falls off and is recycled.
What is peptide
500
nutrients such as glucose are broken down to release energy in the form of __________
