Location of cellular respiration in eukaryotic cells
What is the mitochondria
Most of the mass of an atom is located here
What is the nucleus?
The largest bone in the human body
What is the femur?
Father of immunology
Who is Edward Jenner?
This macromolecule is made up of amino acids and serves as enzymes, structural components and signaling molecules
What is a protein?
This type of cell division produces four genetically unique haploid cells and is essential for sexual reproduction
Atomic numbers of an atom are the same as the number of what in an atom?
What are protons?
These blood vessels carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the body's tissue
What are arteries?
General term for a prokaryotic cell with a thick layer of peptidoglycan in its cell wall?
What is gram positive bacteria?
This molecule is the energy currency of the cell and is produced during cellular respiration.
What is ATP?
In an ecosystem, organisms that produce their own food using sunlight or chemical energy are called this.
What is meiosis?
Avogadro's number
What is 6.022 x 1023?
The part of the brain that controls balance and coordination
What is the cerebellum?
This virus was studied in the first recorded successful vaccination
What is the variola virus?
This enzyme is responsible for synthesizing ATP in the electron transport chain of mitochondria?
What is ATP Synthase?
The photosynthetic equation
6CO2 + 6H2O +light ----> C6H12O6 + 6O2
In the respiratory system, this cartilaginous structure prevents food from entering the trachea when swallowing.
What is the epiglottis?
The process that quickly heats than cools substance to kill organisms
Pasteurization
What is cysteine?
The process by which bacteria exchange genetic material through direct contact
What is conjugation?
In redox reactions, the substance that loses electrons is undergoing this process.
What is oxidation?
The neurotransmitter primarily responsible for muscle contraction at the neuromuscular junction
What is acetylcholine?
These infectious proteins, responsible for disease contain no genetic material and cause misfolding in host proteins.
What are prions?
The electron transport chain (ETC) transfers electrons through a series of protein complexes and ultimately donates them to this final electron acceptor in aerobic respiration
What is oxygen?
