Biochemistry
These six elements are the key building blocks of biological molecules
This organelle produces ATP during cellular respiration
Mitochondria
This molecule serves as the energy currency of the cell, storing and transferring energy for cellular processes.
ATP
This type of cell division creates genetically unique, haploid daughter cells
Meiosis
These two hormones work together in a negative feedback loop to regulate blood glucose levels.
insulin and glucagon
This type of bond forms between water molecules due to the polarity of water
This is the process of water molecules moving across a semi-permeable membrane
Osmosis
The 3-carbon molecule released at the end of glycolysis
Pyruvate
The nitrogenous base found in DNA but not RNA
Thymine
This type of neuron carries signals from the central nervous system to muscles and gland
Motor neuron
This level of protein structure results from interactions between the backbone
Secondary
In this type of a solution, a cell will shrink as water leaves the cell
Hypertonic
This is the last stage of carbon breakdown which releases CO2
Krebs cycle
This enzyme unwinds the DNA double helix during replication by breaking hydrogen bonds between base pairs
Helicase
This rapid, involuntary response pathway involves sensory neurons, interneurons, and motor neurons to protect the body from harm
Reflex arc
Proteins can become __________ when exposed to high heat or extreme pH
Denatured
These type of molecules can move easily across the cell membrane
The energy source powering the active transport of hydrogen ions against the concentration gradient into the inter-membrane space
Electrons
These short DNA fragments are synthesized discontinuously on the lagging strand during DNA replication.
Okazaki fragments
This hormone is released by the pituitary gland and regulates reabsorption of water by the kidneys
ADH
Allosteric regulation is this type of enzyme inhibition
Non-competitive inhibition
This cellular process is used to bring large molecules into the cell, often called "cellular eating"
Phagocytosis
Recycling NAD+
This type of mutation changes a single nucleotide, resulting in a different amino acid being incorporated into the protein.
Missense
This part of the brain is composed of gray matter and is responsible for higher-order thinking, planning and creativity
Cerebral cortex
