This is the term used to describe movement towards disorder in the universe
What is entropy
100
This is the part of the enzyme into which the substrate fits
What is: the active site
100
This term is used to describe the plasma membrane because it regulates the passage of substances into and out of the cell
What is selectively permeable
100
How does the purpose of meiosis differ from the purpose of mitosis (be specific)
meiosis produces 4 non-identical haploid cells, mitosis produces two identical diploid cells
100
What happens to the cell cycle, cell division, and apoptosis that results in cancer
Regulation of the cell cycle is lost, uncontrolled cell division occurs, apoptosis does not occur
200
ATP is made up of what?
What is A sugar, a base, and 3 phosphate groups
200
What, if any, impact do enzymes have on the energy of activation
They decrease it
200
In this type of transport, substances are moved from higher to lower concentration, down their concentration gradient
What is passive
200
In what phase do chromosomes condense and homologues undergo synapsis to produce tetrads?
What is: prophase I
200
During photosynthesis, solar energy is used to convert ______________ and ______________ into____________________________________
What is: water and carbon dioxide into carbohydrates
300
What happens to ATP that causes the release of energy, which is then used for a biological process?
What is: a phosphate is removed
300
In a metabolic pathway, the product of one reaction becomes what in the next reaction
What is: the reactant
300
In this type of transport, molecules move from greater to lesser concentration through a transport protein
What is facilitated diffusion
300
A tetrad occurs during what phase of meiosis, and contains how many chromosomes, and how many sister chromatids
A tetrad occurs during prophase I, it contains two chromosomes, it contains four sister chromatids
300
Corresponding pairs of genes located at specific positions on the chromosome are known as_______________
What is: alleles
400
Beginning with solar energy, what is the flow of energy at a cellular level through the biosphere?
What is: solar energy > chloroplasts > mitochondria
400
What would happen in a metabolic pathway if an enzyme became inactive and nonfunctional. Be specific.
The substrate that binds to the enzyme would not be metabolized
400
If the concentration of glucose in a cell is 3% and the concentration of glucose in the ECF is 10%, by what process would the cell obtain more glucose, if it requires energy to accomplish this?
What is active transport
400
If an animal has a diploid chromosome number of 32: at prophase I, the cell would have how many tetrads and a total of how many chromatids
What is: 16 tetrads, and 64 chromatids
400
Name the three stages of Interphase, and tell which one is responsible for DNA replication
G1, S, G2. DNA replication occurs during the S phase
500
Explain the law of the conservation of energy
What is: energy is neither created nor destroyed, it is converted from one form to another
500
In this process, when an end product is present in abundance, it competes with the substrate for the active site
What is: feedback inhibition
500
What prevents a plant cell from bursting in a hypotonic solution?
Cell Wall
500
After meiosis daughter cells are _____ and mitosis daughter cells are ______?
What is: haploid, diploid
500
When a potted houseplant is wilting, the addition of water quickly changes the look of the plant. Use proper terminology to explain tonicity and why this happens
The water creates a hypotonic environment causing the cells to gain water and swell
