Biochemistry
This type of bond links amino acids together in a protein.
What is a peptide bond?
This term refers to all chemical reactions occurring within a cell.
What is metabolism
This nitrogenous base is found in RNA but not DNA.
What is uracil?
This term describes the maintenance of stable internal conditions.
What is homeostasis?
This method estimates population size using capture, marking, and recapture.
What is mark-recapture?
These lipids form the basic structure of the cell membrane.
What are phospholipids?
This molecule is the final electron acceptor in aerobic respiration.
What is oxygen?
This scientist’s data showed that A = T and G = C in DNA.
Who is Chargaff?
This pump maintains the resting membrane potential of neurons.
What is the sodium-potassium pump?
This type of growth produces a J-shaped curve.
What is exponential growth?
This level of protein structure is stabilized primarily by hydrogen bonds.
What is secondary structure?
This stage of cellular respiration produces the most ATP.
What is oxidative phosphorylation?
This process converts DNA information into mRNA.
What is transcription?
This junction allows neurotransmitters to cross between neurons.
What is a synapse?
These species produce many offspring with little parental care.
What are r-selected species (r-selected strategy)?
This organelle modifies, sorts, and packages proteins for transport.
What is the Golgi apparatus?
This molecule is the direct product of the Calvin cycle.
What is G3P (glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate)?
These short DNA fragments are formed on the lagging strand.
What are Okazaki fragments?
This hormone increases water reabsorption in the kidneys.
What is ADH (antidiuretic hormone)?
This relationship benefits both species involved.
What is mutualism?
This transport process moves substances against their concentration gradient using ATP.
What is active transport?
This process uses a proton gradient to produce ATP.
What is chemiosmosis?
This type of mutation shifts the reading frame of a gene.
What is a frameshift mutation?
These two hormones are released during long-term stress responses.
What are cortisol and aldosterone?
This measure estimates how much land and resources humans use.
What is an ecological footprint?
