Cell Organelles
This is a tiny fluid-filled cavity in the cytoplasm. It can be used for storage of biochemicals.
A solution that causes the cell to swell because of osmosis.
Hypotonic Solution
This is a macromolecule that holds genetic information.
Nucleic Acids
Catalysts increase the rate of a reaction by:
lowering the activation energy of the reaction
The instructions for making proteins originally comes from ________.
DNA
This structure provides support and protection for plant cells.
Cell Wall
Process requiring energy for the movement of particles across the cell membrane.
Active Transport
This macromolecule is primarily used for long-term energy storage and in cell membranes.
Lipids
True or False: All living cells have enzymes.
True
This macromolecule functions to speed up biological chemical reactions.
Proteins
This organelle synthesizes proteins.
Ribosomes
A non-energy requiring process that moves materials across a cell membrane with the concentration gradient.
Passive Transport
This is a macromolecule made up of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen atoms and used for quick energy.
Carbohydrates
In the lock-and-key model of enzymes, the _______ fits into the ________ of the enzyme.
substrate; active site
A food that is high in calories and could be used for energy storage in animals is MOST LIKELY high in ________.
Lipids
This is a membrane-bound organelle in eukaryotic cells that is the production and transportation of proteins.
Endoplasmic Reticulum
A solution that causes a cell to shrink because of the high concentration of solute surrounding the cell.
Hypertonic Solution
Nucleotides are the monomer of this macromolecule.
Nucleic Acids
Denatured or Denaturation
This is the monomer to proteins.
Amino Acids
Powerhouse of the cell.
Mitochondria
True or False: Facilitated diffusion does not require energy.
This macromolecule consists of enzymes and bonds with carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen.
Proteins
True or False: There are a few types of enzymes, but they each perform many types of reactions.
False
False
