Chemistry of Life
This organelle produces the most ATP - known as the powerhouse of the cell
This transport requires no energy, and moves from high to low concentration
Passive transport
The process by which cells convert glucose into ATP
Cellular respiration
The phase of the cell cycle where DNA is replicated
This phase of the cell cycle is where there NOTHING happening
G0
This macromolecule is made up of amino acids
Proteins
This structure is present in plant cells but not in animal cells
The cell wall
This cell process occurs when oxygen is NOT present
Fermentation
This type of signaling involves hormones traveling through the blood stream
Endocrine signaling
Nucleic acids
The site of photosynthesis in plants
Chloroplasts
This structure is a catalyst that speeds up the rate of the reaction
An enzyme
The term for a signaling molecule that binds to a receptor and initiates a cellular response
This process captures sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose
Photosynthesis
This is what happens when an protein is in high heat or the wrong pH
Denaturation
This organelle modifies, sorts, and packages proteins
This cycle produces ATP, NADH, and FADH2 from Acetyl-CoA
the electron transport chain
This type of receptor intiates a response when a ligand binds to it, often leading to a conformational change
G-protein couples receptor
This term refers to the energy requires to initiate a chemical reaction
Activation energy
These are the unique properties water has due to its hydrogen bonding
adhesion, cohesion, and high specific heat
This strucure regulates what enters and exits the cell
The Plasma Membrane
This cycle produces ATP, NADH, and FADH2 from Acetyl-CoA
The Krebs cycle
This feedback mechanism helps maintain homeostasis by counteracting changes, such as regulating body temperature
Negative Feedback
This term refers to the process of programmed cell death that is crucial for maintaining homeostasis and development in multicellular organisms
Apoptosis
