Converts solar energy into chemical energy of a carbohydrate.
What is photosynthesis?
100
The process that requires oxygen and gives off carbon dioxide. It also breaks down glucose into carbon dioxide and water.
What is Cellular Respiration?
100
The orderly set of stages that take place between the time a eukaryotic cell divides and the time the resulting daughter cells also divide.
What is the cell cycle?
100
The centromeres of duplicated chromosomes are aligned at the metaphase plate. Kinetochore spindle fibers attached to the sister chromatids come from opposite spindle poles.
What is Metaphase?
100
Metabolites that are the products of and/or substrates for key reactions in cells, allowing one type of molecule to be changed into another type, such as carbohydrates converted to fats.
What is a metabolic pool?
200
Light reactions take place in the _______ and the calvin cylce takes place in the ______.
What are the thylakoid membranes and the stroma?
200
Processes that do not require oxygen to be present.
Example: Glycolosis
What is Anaerobic Reaction?
200
Programmed cell death because the cell progresses through a usual series of events that bring about its destruction.
What is apoptosis?
200
Daughter cells forming as the nuclear envelopes and nucleoi reappear. Chromosomes will become indistinct chromatin.
What is telophase?
200
When the electron flow can be traced from water to a molecule of NADP+ and uses PS I and PS II.
What is the noncyclic pathway?
300
Produces carbohydrates, converts one form of energy into another, regenerates more RuBP, and uses the products of the light reactions.
What is the Calvin Cycle?
300
Pyruvate enters a mitochondion and is oxidized to a 2-carbon acetyl group carried by CoA; NADH is formed; and the waste product (Carbon Dioxide) is removed. This process occurs twice per glucose molecule.
What is the Prep Reaction?
300
The nuclear division of a cell through the phases of prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
What is mitosis?
300
Nucleolus has disappeared and duplicated chromosomes are visible. Centromeres begin moving apart and spindle is in the process of forming.
What is prophase?
300
The process through which glucose is incompletely metabolized to lactate or to carbon dioxide and alcohol.
What is fermentation?
400
Consists of Pq (plastoquione) and cytochrome complexes, carries electrons from PS II to PS I.
What is the Electron Transport Chain?
400
A metabolic pathway located in the matrix on the mitochondia. Uses NAD+, FAD, Acetyl CoA, & ADP+P and produces Carbon Dioxide, NADH, ATP, & FADH2
What is the Citric Acid Cycle?
400
Cancer causing genes caused by a mutation.
What is oncogenes?
400
The kinetochore of each chromosome is attached to a kinetochore spindle fiber. Polar spindle fibers stretch from each spindle pole and overlap.
What is prometaphase?
400
Organisms that cannot synthesize organic compounds from inorganic substances and therefore must take in organic food.
What are heterotrophs?
500
The product of the Calvin Cycle that can be converted to all sorts of organic molecules.
What is G3P (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate)?
500
The ability of certain membranes to use a Hydrogen ion gradient to drive ATP formation.
What is chemiosmosis?
500
The way prokaryotic cells reproduce assexually.
What is binary fission?
500
Sister chromatids part and become daughter chromosomes that move toward the spindle poles. In this way, each pole recieves the same number and kinds of chromosomes as the parent cell.
What is anaphase?
500
The main microtubule-organizing center of the cell. It also divides before mitosis begins.
