100

This macromolecule is made of monomers of glucose and used for short term energy storage.

carbohydrate

100

This organelle is the control center of the cell and stores the cell's DNA. 

nucleus

100

Passive transport does not require this. 

energy

100

Photosynthesis happens in this organelle.

chloroplast

100

Macromolecules are organic molecules, meaning they all contain the element ____________.

carbon

200

The ___________ of a macromolecule affects its function; if you change the arrangement of monomers you change how it works. 

structure

200

The function of the ribosome is to make ___________. 

protein

200

In this type of passive transport, things move from high to low through a protein channel. 

facilitated diffusion

200
Anaerobic respiration occurs when no __________ is available. 

oxygen

200

This is the point at which there is no net movement of water into or out of the cell in osmosis; water moves equally in both directions and the solution is isotonic. 

dynamic equilibrium

300

Examples of this macromolecule include DNA and RNA.

nucleic acid

300

The function of the lysosome is to ________. 

Break down/digest waste materials

300

This type of active transport involves the cell membrane fusing with a vesicle and releasing its contents outside the cell.

exocytosis

300

These are the three products of cellular respiration.

ATP, CO2, and H2O

300

The cell membrane is made of a double layer of ______________. 

phospholipids

400

This is the monomer of a lipid, and it can be saturated or unsaturated. 

fatty acid

400

These are the 3 organelles found in plant cells, but not animal cells. 

chloroplast, cell wall, central vacuole

400

A cell with 20% salt concentration is placed in a solution with 5% salt concentration. The tonicity of the solution would be described as ____________.

hypotonic

400

These are the two products of photosynthesis.

glucose and oxygen

400
Aerobic respiration happens in the ___________. 

mitochondria

500

Denaturing an enzyme (a type of protein) would change its 3-D shape and/or its sequence of ___________.

amino acids

500

The organelle that acts as the "shipping department" by breaking off parts of its membrane to form vesicles in order to move products around the cell. 

Golgi apparatus

500
This is a cell structure that actively transports things against their concentration gradient (L to H).

protein pump

500

O2 + C6H12O6 --> CO2 + H2O + ATP   is the chemical equation for what cell energy process?

aerobic respiration

500

If a freshwater unicellular organism with a water concentration of 75% in its cytoplasm is moved to a salt water environment with a water concentration of 60%, what would happen to its cell?

it would shrink
