What is a glycosidic linkage?

This type of bond forms between monosaccharides during dehydration synthesis.

100

What are phospholipids?

These molecules form the basic structure of the cell membrane.

100

What is osmosis?

This is the movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane. 

100

What are ribosomes?

This organelle is responsible for protein synthesis.

100

What is mRNA?

This RNA carries genetic instructions from DNA to the ribosome.

200

What is sucrose?

This disaccharide is made from glucose and fructose.

200

What is amphipathic?

This term describes molecules with both hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions.

200

What is a hypertonic solution?

This type of solution causes a cell to shrink due to water loss.

200

What is the Golgi apparatus?

This organelle modifies and packages proteins for transport. 

200

What is tRNA?

This RNA brings amino acids to the ribosome during translation.

300

What are β (beta) glucose linkages?

This structural difference makes cellulose indigestible to humans. 

300

What is hydrogenation?

This process converts unsaturated fats into saturated fats by adding hydrogen.

300

What is active transport?

This process requires ATP to move substances against a concentration gradient. 

300

What are prokaryotic cells?

These cells lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.

300

What is rRNA?

This RNA forms part of the ribosome’s structure.

400

What is the location of the carbonyl group?

This determines whether a sugar is classified as an aldose or ketose.

400

What is an ester linkage?

This type of bond connects fatty acids to glycerol in triglycerides.

400

What is isotonic equilibrium?

This condition exists when there is no net movement of water across a membrane.

400

What is the cytoskeleton?

This structure provides internal support and helps with cell movement.

400

What is endocytosis?

This process brings large materials into the cell using vesicles. 

500

What is glycogen?


500

What is the fluid mosaic model?

This model describes the membrane as dynamic with proteins embedded in lipids.


500

What is facilitated diffusion?

This type of diffusion uses membrane proteins but does not require energy.

500

What is the endomembrane system?

This system includes the ER, Golgi, and vesicles working together to process proteins.

500

What is exocytosis?

This process releases substances out of the cell via vesicles.
