Cells
This type of organism does NOT have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
What is a prokaryote?
What is a monomer?
Uses the nitrogen base pairs adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine.
What is DNA?
process by which plant cells convert solar energy to food, usually sugars
What is photosynthesis?
This process produces in the formation of 2 genetically identical daughter cells.
What is mitosis?
This is the organelle where cellular respiration takes place and is found in most eukaryotic cells.
Mitochondria
What is a monosaccharide?
A single stranded structure utilized in protein synthesis
What is RNA?
Heterotrophs obtain their energy through this process.
What is cellular respiration?
Cells produces through meiosis and are considered haploid.
What are gametes?
This organelle converts light energy into glucose.
What is a chloroplast?
A building block of a protein.
What is an amino acid?
DNA --> RNA --> Protein Synthesis
What is the Central Dogma?
The chemical equation for cellular respiration.
What is oxygen + glucose ---> ATP + water + Carbon dioxide?
A process by which chromosomes do not separate correctly in either meiosis 1 or meiosis 2 causing there to be more or less chromosomes in the final cell.
What is nondisjunction?
ALL cell types have these four features in common.
What are cytoplasm, DNA, ribosomes, and a cell membrane?
A biomolecule that serves as a fast source of energy and a biomolecule that serves as long term energy and insulation.
What are carbohydrates and lipids?
The type of RNA that is small enough to leave the nucleus and attach to a ribosome.
What is messenger RNA?
The reactants of photosynthesis are the products of cellular respiration and the products of photosynthesis are the reactants of cellular respiration.
What is interdependence?
When an organism inherits a dominant and a recessive copy of an allele and only expresses the dominant phenotype, the organism is considered ____________.
What is heterozygous?
Made of mostly phospholipids embedded with proteins.
What is the plasma membrane (cell membrane)?
What is an enzyme?
A set of 3 base pairs that are read together to code for an amino acid.
What is a codon?
A molecule consisting of a sugar, a nitrogen base, and 3 phosphates. Energy is released when the molecule loses a phosphate.
What is an ATP molecule?
The inheritance pattern of dominance that results in an offspring showing a new phenotype from the parents because the traits of the parents were blended.
What is incomplete dominance?
