Viruses
Unlike cells, viruses are not considered _________, because they cannot carry out life processes on their own.
What is living?
This type of cell lacks a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, and includes bacteria.
What is a prokaryotic cell?
Enzymes are a type of this biomolecule that speeds up chemical reactions in the body.
What are proteins?
These are the four main types of biomolecules found in living things.
What are carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids?
This is the main source of energy plants use to carry out photosynthesis.
What is sunlight or solar energy?
As far as size goes, viruses are _________ than cells.
What is smaller?
Unlike prokaryotes, eukaryotic cells contain this membrane-enclosed structure that houses the cell's DNA.
What is a nucleus?
Enzymes do this to the speed of a chemical reaction.
What is speed up?
This biomolecule is the main source of energy for the body and includes sugars and starches.
What are carbohydrates?
Plants absorb this gas from the air and use it as an ingredient in photosynthesis.
What is carbon dioxide or CO2?
Viruses cannot reproduce on their own and must have a _________.
What is a host?
This type of cell contains membrane-bound organelles such as chloroplasts, mitochondria, and the endoplasmic reticulum.
What is a eukaryotic cell?
The ______ of the enzyme is important so it fits together with the substrate.
What is the shape?
Proteins are made up of smaller building blocks called these, which are linked together in long chains.
What are amino acids?
This is the simple sugar that plants produce as a result of photosynthesis.
What is glucose?
Viruses and cells both contain __________.
What is genetic material?
This organelle, found in eukaryotic cells but absent in prokaryotes, is responsible for producing ATP through cellular respiration.
What is the mitochondria?
This is the location for the place where the enzyme binds to the substrate.
_______ site
What is the active site?
This biomolecule stores and transmits genetic information in living organisms and is found in the nucleus of cells.
What are nucleic acids?
Photosynthesis takes place in this organelle, which contains a green pigment that absorbs sunlight.
What is the chloroplast?
A protein coat that surrounds the genetic material on a virus.
What is a capsid?
Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells contain these small structures responsible for synthesizing proteins.
What are ribosomes?
If the temperature or pH of an enzyme's environment becomes too extreme, the enzyme loses its shape and can no longer function — this process is called this.
What is denature?
This type of biomolecule does not dissolve in water, serves as long-term energy storage, and makes up a large part of cell membranes.
What is a lipid?
This is the overall chemical equation for photosynthesis, describing the reactants and products involved in the process.
Carbon dioxide + water + solar energy --> glucose + oxygen
CO2 + 6H2O + solar energy --> C6H12O6 + 6O2
