Macromolecules
These macromolecules provide short term energy storage
What are carbohydrates?
What is the nucleus?
This organelle regulates the movement of substances into and out of the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
The name means "before nucleus"
What is prokaryote?
These are the monomers of carbohydrates.
What are monosaccharides (glucose)?
These macromolecules store and transmit genetic information
What are nucleic acids? (DNA & RNA)
This organelle is the site of cellular respiration and is responsible for generating energy in the form of ATP.
What is the mitochondria?
This organelle breaks down waste material, cellular debris, and cellular organelles.
What is the lysosome?
The name means "true nucleus"
What is eukaryote?
What are amino acids?
These macromolecules provide long term energy storage
What are lipids?
This organelles is the site of protein synthesis and can be found floating free in the cytoplasm or attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
What is the ribosome?
This organelle processes, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for transport within or out of the cell.
What is the Golgi Apparatus?
This type of cell lacks a nucleus, and membrane bound organelles?
What are prokaryotic cells?
These are the monomers of lipids
What are glycerol and fatty acids?
These macromolecules perform a wide variety of functions including enzymes, bones, muscles, hormones such as insulin, antibodies, etc.
What are proteins?
This organelle carries out photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy.
What is the chloroplast?
This organelle is a network of membranes extending throughout the cell and plays a role in protein synthesis.
What is the rough endoplasmic reticulum?
This type of cell contains a nucleus, and membrane bound organelles.
What are eukaryotic cells?
These are the monomers of nucleic acids.
What are nucleotides?
This type of protein functions to speed up chemical reactions by reducing the amount of activation energy required.
What are enzymes?
This organelle is involved in the synthesis of lipids and detoxification.
What is the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
This organelle stores water, nutrients, and waste products, (helps maintain turgor pressure in plant cells).
What is a vacuole?
Name the two domains that contain prokaryotic cells.
What are the Domains Bacteria and Archaea?
What are a phosphate, a sugar, and a nitrogenous base?
