OMG!
This organelle is the site of photosynthesis in plant cells
What is Chloroplast
This term describes the process of of genetic information from DNA to RNA to protein.
What is Central Dogma?
What type of cell division produces two identical daughter cells used for growth and repair.
What is mitosis?
This type of transport moves molecules from an area of high concentration to low concentration without using energy or proteins.
What is diffusion?
This process reduces the chromosome number by half to produce gametes.
What is meiosis?
This process uses DNA as a template to make mRNA.
What is transcription?
This process allows water to move across a selectively permeable membrane.
What is osmosis?
A mutation causes a codon to code for a different amino acid, potentially altering protein function. This type of mutation still changes only one codon.
What is a missense mutation or substitution?
Structures like human arms and whale flippers provide evidence of common ancestry because they share similar bone patterns despite different functions
What are homologous structures?
This molecule is produced during photosynthesis and then used as the main fuel source in cellular respiration.
What is Glucose?
When comparing DNA sequences, the species with the fewest differences is most likely this on a cladogram.
What is the most closely related?
This process occurs in the mitochondria and produces ATP using oxygen.
What is Cellular Respiration?
As a cell increases in size, this ratio decreases, limiting how efficiently materials can move into and out of the cell.
What is Surface area-to-volume ratio?
Name the 2 phase when the chromosomes line up in the middle.
What is Metaphase I and Metaphase II
Where are newly formed proteins sent after transcription?
What is they are sent to the rough ER to be folded.
This event occurs in ______________________ and increases genetic diversity by exchanging DNA between homologous chromosomes.
What is Prophase I
These adaptations, such as nocturnal behavior in desert animals, help organisms survive by reducing exposure to extreme environmental conditions.
What are behavioral adaptations?
This cycle uses carbon dioxide to build glucose during photosynthesis and occurs in the stroma of the chloroplast
What is the Calvin Cycle?
This type of RNA carries amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis.
What is tRNA?
This process uses ATP to move ions across a membrane, helping maintain membrane homeostasis.
What is Active Transport?
This bulk transport process allows a cell to take large molecules or particles into the cell by forming vesicles.
What is endocytosis?
This stage of cellular respiration produces large amounts of ATP and water as electrons pass through.
What is the electron transport chain?
What is the energy barrier that enzymes lower by stabilizing the transition state in order to speed up chemical reactions without being consumed?
What is activation energy.
Which two scientists stole the work from Rosalind Franklin and claimed it as their own and collected a Nobel Peace prize as she lay dying of cancer?
Who are Watson and Crick?
What is the stage of meiosis that separates homologous chromosomes rather than sister chromatids?
What is anaphase I
