100
Plants use this type of carbohydrate for stored energy.
What is starch.
100
The number of lipid bilayers you would puncture if you stuck a pin through a plant cell, with the pin going through a chloroplast, into a thylakoid, out the chloroplast, through a mitochondrion, into the nucleus, and stopping in the nucleolus.
What is 14?
100
specific type of organisms that produces its food by converting energy from sunlight.
What is a photoautotroph?
100
Main electron carrier during the light reactions in photosynthesis.
What is NADP+?
100
specific site for photosystems II and I
What is thylakoid membrane?
200
Plants have this, but animal cells do not, and it functions similarly to lysosomes.
What is central vacuole.
200
coiled DNA and protein complex present in the nucleus of the cell.
What is chromatin?
200
cows, sheep, horses, grasshoppers are this trophic level of the food web.
What is primary consumer.
200
A metabolic pathway in plants that consumes oxygen and ATP, releases carbon dioxide, and decreases photosynthetic output (hint: usually occurs on hot, dry, bright days when stomata are closed)
What is photorespiration?
200
specific site for ETC in cellular respiration.
What is cristae of mitochondria
300
nonmembranous structure of the cell that functions in making ribosomes.
What is nucleolus?
300
network of membranous sacs and tubes that functions in membrane synthesis and other metabolic processes.
What is endoplasmic reticulum?
300
type of plant such as sugarcane and pineapple that have a special photosynthetic adaptation to arid conditions.
What are CAM plants.
300
This is the distinct type of photosynthetic cell in C4 plants.
What is a bundle sheath cell?
300
specific site for Calvin Cycle in photosynthesis.
What is stroma of chloroplast
400
projections on animal cells that increase cell's surface area.
What are microvilli?
400
process by which amoebas and other protists eat by engulfing smaller organisms or food particles.
What is phagocytosis.
400
Sugar cane and corn are these types of plants.
What is a C4 plant?
400
This is the product of Phase II (reduction phase) of the Calvin Cycle?
What is a G3P (or three carbon) sugar?
400
specific site for glyolysis
What is cell cytoplasm/cytosol
500
nucleus and mitochondria have this in common.
What is double lipid bilayer
500
specific name for the stacked flattened sacs of endoplasmic reticulum and golgi apparatus.
What are cisternae?
500
Calvin cycle enzyme important for the initial fixation of carbon (does so by adding CO2 to ribulose biphosphate (RuBP)). This is also thought to be the most abundant enzyme on earth.
What is rubisco
500
During photosynthesis, process by which an electron transport chain pumps protons across a membrane to a region of low (H+) to high (H+) concentration.
What is chemiosmosis?
500
specific site for Citric Acid Cycle.
What is matrix of mitochondrion
