DNA
This is the molecule that serves as the blueprint for protein synthesis in cells.
What is DNA?
This process results in the formation of two identical daughter cells.
What is mitosis?
This mechanism, or process helps maintain a stable internal environment in organisms.
The most basic carbohydrate, often referred to as blood sugar.
What is glucose?
This system is responsible for transporting nutrients and oxygen to cells.
Cells found in this system are red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
What is the circulatory system?
These specific sequences, or short lengths of DNA determine the structure of proteins.
What are genes?
This phase of mitosis is characterized by the alignment of chromosomes at the cell's equator.
What is metaphase?
This type of cellular transport requires energy from the cell.
What is active transport?
These molecules are the building blocks of proteins.
What are amino acids?
The system that supports and protects organs and enables movement.
Cells in this system are osteoblasts (create bone), osteocytes (maintain bone), and osteoclasts (break down bone).
What is the skeletal system?
This structure transports the instructions from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis.
What is mRNA?
The relaxed, stringy form of genetic material that resembles spaghetti.
What is chromatin?
This organelle is responsible for maintaining a cell's internal homeostasis
What is the cell Membrane?
This macromolecule makes up the cell membrane, and can also be found in fats and oils. (hint: it contains some phosphorous too!)
What are phospholipids?
This system's main function is to protect the body from disease.
Cells in this system include neutrophils (fight bacterial infection), T cells (kill cancerous cells), and B cells (produce antibodies)
What is the immune system?
The form of RNA that brings amino acids to the ribosome.
What is tRNA?
What is 25 chromosomes?
This type of cellular transport tends to move small, non polar molecules across the cell membrane.
What is passive transport?
This polymer contains monomers of uracil, adenine, cytosine, and guanine.
What is RNA?
The system that regulates and coordinates body activities is known as this.
Cells in this system are neurons and glial cells.
What is the nervous system?
This is the process by which DNA is transcribed to RNA, leading to protein synthesis.
What is transcription?
This is the stage where the nuclear envelope re-forms around each set of chromosomes.
What is telophase/cytokinesis?
In active transport, which requires the cell to use energy, molecules flow in this direction, regarding their concentration.
What is [low] to [high]?
What are monomers and polymers?
This system is responsible for breaking down foods and liquids, absorbing nutrients, and eliminating waste.
Cells in this system include mucous cells (producing mucous), parietal cells (creating hydrochloric acid), and enterocytes (absorbing nutrients)
What is the digestive system?
