100

This organelle is called the "powerhouse of the cell" because it creates the ATP energy used by the body.

What is the mitochondria?

100

This macro is what you OMIT when you begin a low-carb or keto diet.

What is sugar/carbs?

100

This organelle contains the DNA.

What is the nucleus?
100

This macro is first used by the body to produce energy. 

What is sugar/carbohydrates?

100

The first people likely originated on this continent. 

What is Africa?

200

This type of cell stores leftover sugars, fats, and proteins as liquid fat droplets. 

What is a fat cell /adipocyte?

200

This macro is a type of protein that MAKES something, gives it a shape. 

What is a structural protein?

200

This structure supports and protects the contents of the cell from the outside environment and helps maintain its shape.

What is the cell membrane? (Phospholipid bilayer / Plasma membrane)

200

This macro is a type of protein that DOES something.

What is a functional protein?

200

6x -2x -2y = 0    Solve for y

2y = 4x

/2     /2

y   = 2x

300

This creates unusable proteins (amino acid chains/polypeptides) for the body.

What are the ribosomes?

300

This is the major component of all membranes.

What is fat/lipid?

300

This folds and packages unusable proteins into useful proteins and sends them out of the cell.

What is the golgi apparatus?

300

Amino acids are the building blocks (monomers) of this polymer.

What are proteins?

300

This man is the British Prime Minister in 2021.

Who is Boris Johnson?

400

This creates ribosomes in the cell.

What is the nucleolus?

400

This sits inside the cell membrane and acts as a receptor for smaller molecules to get into/out of the cell. It is a lock and key system. If it doesn't recognize you, you won't get in.

What are protein receptors/proteins/protein channels/glycoproteins?

400

This creates fat in the cell.

What is the smooth ER?

400

Nucleotides are the monomers of this polymer.

What are nucleic acids?

400

This time was a broad prehistoric period during which stone was widely used to make tools with an edge, a point, or a percussion surface

What is the Stone Age?

500

This is the two-word name for the double layer outer structure of the cell membrane, vacuoles, and vesicles.

What is phospholipid bilayer?

500

Naming convention for this type of molecule includes words with an -in suffix such as melanin, keratin, actin, myactin, leptin, and pepsin.

What are proteins?

500

This is a membranous sac filled with digestive enzymes that destroy the organelle while digesting unwanted toxins.

What is a lysosome?

500
Saccharides are the monomers of this polymer.

What are sugars/carbs?

500

En espanol, es "la mesa."

Como se dice "the table" en espanol?
