This is the basic unit of structure and function in a living thing.
cell
This process occurs in animal cells and is the opposite of photosynthesis
Cellular Respiration
found in the nucleus of a cell that contains the instructions needed for an organism to develop, survive, and reproduce.
DNA
Organisms that are made of only 1 cell are called this
Unicellular
what is the shape of dna
double helix
All living things are made of....
Cells
what are the two reactants for cellular respiration
oxygen
glucose
DNA is located inside of this organelle
Nucleus
Organisms made of of many cells are called
Multicellular
what connects the two strands of dna
base pairs
Photosynthesis takes place in the
Chloroplast
Plant and Animal cells are (Eukaryotic or prokaryotic)?
Eukaryotic (meaning they have a nucleus)
Photosynthesis only happens in this type of cell?
Plant Cells
list the four base pairs and how they connect
A-T
C-G
This organelle is the powerhouse of the cell that turns food into energy.
Mitochondria
What are the products of cellular respiration?
ATP
water
carbon dioxide
This organelle is gel-like and holds the other organelles
Cytoplasm
the nucleus of the cell
what is the main difference between RNA and DNA
RNA: single strand
DNA: double strand
RNA has a U instead of a T
This organelle controls what substances go in and out of the cell.
Cell membrane
What is the equation for photosynthesis?
6CO2 + 6H20 + Energy -> C6H12O6 + 6O2
This organelle makes proteins in the cell
ribosomes
Translation turns what into what
mRNA to proteins through using TRNA and a ribosome
why is DNA a good way to identify someone
DNA is a unique pattern to each specific individual
