96% of the body is comprised of these four elements.

Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Carbon

100
The main component of our plasma membranes consist of this structure.

Phospholipid bilayer

100

This type of transport moves solutes against their concentration gradient.

Active transport

100
All of the steps in mitotic division in order.

Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase

200

When a peptide bond is formed this type of water-related reaction occurs

Dehydration synthesis

200

Electrons are shared in this bond.

Covalent

200

This organelle digests unwanted cellular debris.

Lysosome

200

Emerging from centrioles, this type of cytoskeleton is what mitotic spindles are made of.

Microtubules

200

This specific phase of the cell cycle is where DNA replication occurs.

Interphase S

300

Enzymes ______ reactions by _______ activation energy.

speed up; lower

300

This is the main function of carbohydrates.

Fuel source

300

This organelle is studded with ribosomes and synthesizes proteins that are then sent to the golgi apparatus.

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

300

Daily double

Write the 4 major organic compounds and their monomer and polymer

300

This type of RNA contains an anticodon that matches complementary bases with a codon to create a chain of amino acids.

tRNA

400

This type of energy-related reaction occurs when bonds are broken and release energy.

Exergonic reaction

400

A low pH indicates a higher concentration of this ion.

H+

400

Also known for communication, these types of junctions allow for ions to pass from cell to cell.

Gap junctions

400

This property of water allows it to absorb large quantities of heat without much change in temperature.

High heat capacity

400

This enzyme matches up complementary base pairs during DNA replication.

DNA polymerase

500

Primary active transport gets its energy from this specific reaction.

ATP hydrolysis

500

An important buffer system in your body.

carbonic acid-bicarbonate system

500

This component of the plasma membrane allows your cells to distinguish themselves, sometimes known as the ID of the cell.

Carbohydrates

500

DNA contains this nucleotide that RNA does not.

Thymine

500

This enzyme is responsible for the transcription of DNA to mRNA. 

RNA polymerase
