This is the function of carbohydrates; specifically, monosaccharides

What is energy? (short-term)

100
Leaves on plants begin changing color as days become shorter

What is response to the environment?

100
Enzymes are this type of macromolecule

What is a protein?

100

True/False: Prokaryotic organisms can arrange themselves to become multicellular

False

100

True/False: All cells have a cell membrane

True

200

This is the monomer for nucleic acids

What is a nucleotide?

200

Organisms get hungry and feed on other things to obtain nutrients and energy

Metabolism; the need for nutrients, energy, materials

200

Enzymes are a type of this... the name for a molecule that speeds up chemical reactions

What is a catalyst?

200

This organelle, found primarily in plant cells, takes in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, combines it with water and sunlight, and makes usable sugar through photosynthesis

Chloroplasts

200

True/False: Prokaryotic cells have ribosomes

True

300

These are the building blocks of proteins

What are amino acids?

300

Gametes from a mother and a father (egg and sperm) fuse to create a new life

What is reproduction?

300

This is the area of an enzyme that allows the substrate to bind to the enzyme

What is the active site?

300

Where can DNA be found in prokaryotic cells?

The cytoplasm

300

This terms means that internal balance is being maintained through inherited processes

What is homeostasis?

400

This is the type of reaction that is anabolic (building larger, more complex molecules from basic building blocks)

What is dehydration synthesis?

400

Arrange the following from least complex to most complex: Organ system, organism, cell, tissue, organ

What is cell, tissue, organ, organ system, organism?

400

Name the two factors that could denature an enzyme AND explain what denaturation does to an enzyme.

What are temperature and pH, and denaturation changes the shape of an enzyme causing it to not function properly

400

This organelle modifies proteins and packages them to moved after the ribosome has synthesized them

What is a ribosome?

400

This type of reproduction creates offspring that are exact genetic copies of the parent

What is asexual reproduction?

500

Name the monomer AND function of all macromolecules of life.

carbs-monosaccharides-energy/structure

lipids-glycerol/fatty acids-water barrier, long-term energy

proteins-amino acids-catalysts, structure, messengers, etc.

nucleic acids-nucleotides-store and transmit genetic information

500

Eukaryotic organisms are made of smaller building blocks of life

What is made of cells/cellular organization?
500

Enzymes lower the amount of this type of energy that is needed to start a chemical reaction

What is activation energy?

500

Identify three organelles that are present in plant cells but NOT in animal cells (one of the organelles is the same, just a different variation of it)

What is a cell wall, chloroplast, and central vacuole?

500

This is the type of enzyme that can be found in lysosomes that aids in breaking down/digesting molecules

What are hydrolytic enzymes?
