Cell Energy
Process of making ATP through oxidative phosphorylation
Cellular Respiration
Developed by Chargaff. Thymine will pair with Adenine. Cytosine will pair with Guanine.
Base Pair Rules
The measure of potential energy in water and drives the movement of water through plants.
Water Potential
A biological catalyst. Often ends with -ase
Enzyme
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
Mitosis
Site of Cellular Respiration
Mitochondria
Single stranded and double stranded chains with genetic information
RNA and DNA
The passive diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane
Osmosis
The effect of inhospitable pH or temperature levels on an enzyme.
Denaturation
Programed Cell Death
Apoptosis
Cellular process that occurs in the cytoplasm of cells that breaks down Glucose and releases a minimal amount of ATP
Glycolysis
The nitrogenous base found in RNA but not DNA
Uracil
Passive movement of molecules or particles from regions of higher to regions of lower concentration.
Diffusion
A molecule that binds to another (usually larger) molecule.
Ligand
Example: During metaphase each chromosome is checked to insure each is properly attached to a spindle fiber.
Cell Cycle Checkpoint
Process that occurs in the mitochondria that releases CO2 by further breaking down Acetyl CoA. Produces NADH
A sequence of three nucleotides which together form a unit of genetic code on mRNA
Codon
This equals iCRT where:
i is the ionization constant
C is the molar concentration
R is the pressure constant
T is the Temperature in Kelvin
Solute Potential
Inhibitor binds to a different place on the enzyme called the _______ site. This is known as __________ inhibition.
Allosteric and Non-Competitive
The reduction of the ploidy level in potential germ cells resulting in 4 haploid cells.
Meiosis
High Energy Electron Carrier important in the process of cellular respiration
NADH
The process where a sequence of a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule turns into a sequence of amino acids during protein synthesis.
Translation
20% solute concentration in the cell and 40% solute concentration outside. What is this called and what direction will the water move.
Hypertonic and water will move out of the cell.
Involves the binding of extracellular signaling molecules and ligands to receptors located on the cell surface or inside the cell that trigger events inside the cell, to invoke a response.
Signal Transduction Pathway
Any of a number of proteins associated with the cycle of cell division which are thought to initiate certain processes of mitosis.
Cyclin
