Biomolecules
The body’s main quick source of energy and includes sugars and starches
What are carbohydrates?
This type of cell division produces two genetically identical daughter cells.
What is mitosis?
This molecule carries the genetic instructions for making proteins.
What is DNA?
This organelle controls the cell’s activities and contains DNA.
What is the nucleus ?
This process releases energy from glucose in cells.
What is cellular respiration?
This biomolcule is made of amino acids and is responsible for building tissues and acting as enzymes.
What are proteins?
During this stage of mitosis, chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell.
What is metaphase?
This first step of protein synthesis happens in the nucleus and copies DNA into mRNA.
Transcription
This organelle produces energy ( ATP).
What is the mitochondria ?
This gas is taken in by cells during cellular respiration.
What is oxygen?
This biomolecule is made of glycerol and fatty acids and is used for long-term energy storage and insulation.
What are lipids?
In this stage, sister chromatids separate and move toward opposite poles of the cell.
What is anaphase?
This second step of protein synthesis happens at the ribosome and uses mRNA to build a protein.
What is translation?
This organelle modifies, sorts, and packages proteins for transport.
What is the golgi apparatus ?
This gas is released during cellular respiration.
What is carbon dioxide ?
Monomer of proteins
What are amino acids?
During this stage, the nuclear membrane reforms and chromosomes begin to uncoil.
What is telophase?
This type of RNA carries amino acids to the ribosome during translation.
This organelle is studded with ribosomes and helps make proteins.
What is the rough ER?
This sugar molecule is broken down during cellular respiration to release energy.
What is glucose?
This biomolecule stores genetic information and includes DNA and RNA
What are nucleic acids?
This process divides the cytoplasm and usually occurs right after mitosis.
What is cytokinesis ?
This three-base sequence on mRNA codes for a specific amino acid.
What is a codon?
This organelle contains digestive enzymes that break down waste and old cell parts.
What is the lysosome?
This molecule is the main usable form of energy produced by cellular respiration.
What is ATP?
