Plant cells are able to produce their own food. This process happens in which structure?
chloroplast
200
The phase of mitosis in which the chromatids separate moving to opposite poles
What is anaphase?
200
This is an example of what evidence of evolution?
Homologous structures, or anatomy
200
What molecule can leave the nucleus and travel to the ribosome to code for proteins?
mRNA, or RNA
200
What is the function of a carbohydrate?
Quick energy
200
What is the passive transport of water?
Osmosis
300
The phase of mitosis where the chromosomes line up on the equator or center of the cell
What is metaphase?
300
What is genetic drift?
Random change
300
What is the site of transcription?
Nucleus

A contractile vacuole helps protists eliminate excess liquid. This is a “pumping" process which reduces pressure inside the cell and prevents the cell from bursting. What is most likely the molecule of energy for this process?
ATP
300
Name a major difference between prokaryotes and eukaryotes
Pro: no nucleus, no membrane bound organelles
400

What part of the DNA molecule carries the instructions for making amino acids in a protein?
nitrogen bases
400
Why does the rate of a biochemical reaction decreases at high temperatures?
The shape of the enzyme changes.

A cell is placed in distilled water. What will happen to the cell?
Water moves into cell, cell swells, cell explodes
500
What would most likely be produced when a cell with eight chromosomes undergoes mitosis?
2 cells wuth 8 chromosomes
500
A population of insects was sprayed with a pesticide, but a few survived. Over time, the population became resistant. Why?
Ones with favorable traits survived, natural selection for traits, genetic variety in the offspring
500
When a frameshift mutation happens, how is the protein affected?
all the amino acids are affected, everything after the mutation is affected.
