Ecology / Cell Biology
Powerhouse of the cell.
What is Mitochondria?
Can be used to make anything except energy.
What is a protein?
The breakdown of Glucose by enzymes in the Cytoplasm.
What is Glycolysis?
Reaction that uses sunlight to be converted into energy for plant life.
What is Photosynthesis?
A double helix with two antiparallel strands.
What is DNA?
Rule that explains the energy pyramids of nature.
What is the 10% rule?
Makes it easier to sweat on Earth and use sweat as a coolant.
What is water?
A type of Glycolysis that changes NADH to NAD+.
What is Aerobic Glycolysis?
Reaction that occurs in the Thylakoid membrane of Chloroplasts through sunlight.
What is a light dependent reaction?
Type of corn that prevents the infiltration of bugs and rotting.
What is BT Corn?
A group of organisms that can interbreed and produce fertile offspring.
What is a species?
When hydrogen bonds are broken down.
What is a catabolic reaction?
Reaction that converts Pyruvate into Acetyl-CoA.
What is the Link Reaction?
Reaction that uses stored energy from Light Dependent Reactions to later be turned into Glucose.
What is a light independent reaction?
A process that converts a piece of DNA into RNA.
What is Transcription?
A large contributor to global warming that traps heat close to the Earth's surface.
What are greenhouse gases?
Type of fat that holds a double bond in the fatty acid chain.
What is an unsaturated fat?
The transformation of Acetyl-CoA into reusable ATP in the Mitochondria.
What is the Krebs Cycle?
Process where plants turn CO2 into Sugar for Autotroph use.
What is the Calvin Cycle?
A complementary codon to the messenger RNA in the transfer RNA.
What is an anticodon?
Experiment that proved macromolecules could be formed using gas and energy.
What is the Miller-Urey Experiment?
An inhibitor that binds to the active site to prevent other substrate from binding there.
What is a competitive inhibitor?
The first step of Oxidative Phosphorylation in the Mitochondria.
What is the Electron Transport Chain?
Appears in the electron micrograph as a bean shape with thick, dark boxes and thin lines to connect them.
What is Chloroplast?
Process used to make billions of copies of sample DNA.
What is the Polymerase Chain Reaction?
