Cell Biology
Which organelle creates ATP to supply the cell with energy?
What is the mitochondria?
During this stage of the cell cycle, the cell grows, duplicates DNA and organelles and prepares for mitosis.
What is interphase?
The alpha helices and beta pleated sheets describe which structure level of a protein?
What is secondary structure?
All organic molecules contain this element.
What is carbon?
Water contains which elements?
What is 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atoms?
Cell structure that allows items in and out.
What is the cell membrane?
What is chromatin?
This type of protein goes through the entire cell membrane and functions in transport?
What is integral proteins?
What are carbon, hydrogen and oxygen?
This is the state of water being attracted to itself.
What is cohesion?
Which type of protein of the plasma membrane aids in recognition of other cells and does not go through the plasma membrane?
What is a peripheral protein?
This is the first phase in mitosis. Chromosomes have condensed and the nuclear membrane has been broken down.
What are the two key conditions that can denature a protein?
What is temperature and pH?
This organic molecule is composed of subunits called fatty acids.
What is lipids?
This is the act of water being attracted to different substances.
What is adhesion?
List 2 differences between a prokaryote and eukaryote.
What is:
- prokaryote does not have a nucleus while eukaryotes do
- prokaryotes do not have membrane-bound organelles while eukaryotes do
- eukaryotes are bigger in size (1-5um) , prokaryotes are smaller (10-100um)
This occurs immediately after mitosis when the cell finally splits.
What type of bond is formed between amino acids?
What is a peptide bond?
What part of the amino acid determines if it will be soluble in water?
What is the side chain or R group?
State 2 of the many properties of water that make it unique.
What is high heat capacity, universal solvent, adhesion, cohesion?
What is the theory of endosymbiosis?
What is eukaryotic cells are believed to have evolved from early prokaryotes that were engulfed by phagocytosis?
When are cyclin levels at their highest during the cell cycle?
What is mitosis?
Hemoglobin is a protein that is found in red blood cells. It is responsible for this function.
What is transport (of oxygen)?
What are 2 differences between saturated and unsaturated fats?
What is a double bond between the carbons are found in unsaturated fats, but not in saturated fats. Saturated fats are solid at room temperature while unsaturated is liquid.
What are 3 water soluble substances that are transported through the body?
What is sodium chloride, oxygen, glucose and amino acids?
