How can you tell the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?
Location of Genetic Material and the presence of a nucleus
What happens during crossing over?
Which Biomolecule is used for quick energy storage?
Carbohydrate
Photosynthesis occurs in what organelle?
Chloroplast
What components make up the backbone of DNA?
Deoxyribose and Phosphate
What does ATP provide for the cell?
provides energy for the chemical reactions in the cell.
In pea plants, T is the Dominant Trait and stands for tall, t is the recessive trait and stands for short.
If two heterozygous plants were crossed, what would be the percentage of the plant being tall?
75%
What Biomolecule is used for long term energy storage?
Lipids
What are the products of Photosynthesis?
Glucose and Oxygen
Write down the Complementary DNA Strand of
AACGTTCC.
TTGCAAGG
What happens during Interphase?
The cell is growing and carrying out metabolism and DNA Replication.
To be able to cross AaBb x AaBb, what method would first use?
FOIL METHOD
Growth is one of the many functions for which biomolecule?
Protein
What are the reactants of photosynthesis?
Water, Carbon Dioxide, and Light
What happens in the transcription process?
DNA unwinds & mRNA transcribes, or copies, a gene from the DNA
What does Osmosis involve?
Water moves through a semipermeable membrane.
What does the difference in the nucleotide sequences of genes determine?
Inherited Traits
What do enzymes do?
speed of chemical reactions
What is the full equation for Cellular Respiration?
Glucose + Oxygen --> Water + Carbon Dioxide + ATP
What is the difference between the original DNA strand compared to the mRNA strand?
The mRNA strand is complementary to the DNA, except instead of thymine, uracil is used.
Complementary means that they are matched together for example:
(DNA: ATA, mRNA: UAU)
What kind of cells have unregulated cell division?
Cancer Cells.
Which factor will most directly determine what type of specialized cell will be produced?
the genes that are expressed
