What type of macromolecule are enzymes?
Proteins
___ are (at least partially) consumed in a reaction process
Reactants
What is the function of the ATP molecule?
Mitochondria
Where do spindle fibers attach on chromosomes?
On the centromere
What is the name of the model used to describe how enzymes work? "____ and ____"
Lock and Key
When a reaction ABSORBS more energy than it releases, it is what type of reaction?
Endothermic
When a phosphate group is broken off an ATP molecule, it ____ energy
Releases
What organelle helps CREATE proteins?
Ribosomes (or rough ER)
What is the term used for two homologous chromosomes?
Sister Chromatids
True or False, enzymes can ONLY break apart molecules, not bind them together.
FALSE, enzymes can do both
Exothermic
A phosphate group is added to ____ to create ATP
ADP
This process occurs when the cell uses energy to bring something IN from outside the cell.
Endocytosis
True or False, during cytokinesis, plant cells form a cleavage furrow to separate
FALSE, plant cells stack on each other like bricks and do not separate, so they do not form a furrow. Instead they form a cell plate, which acts as the new cell wall between them.
What do enzymes do to the activation energy of a reaction?
LOWER the activation energy
In the following reaction, which chemicals are the PRODUCTS?
6H2O + 6CO2 --> C6H12O6 + 6O2
C6H12O6 and 6O2. This is the chemical formula for Photosynthesis, so Sugars and Oxygen is the final product.
Which macromolecule found in the food you eat will your cells break down FIRST to get ATP?
Carbohydrates
If a cell has 20 chromosomes, how many chromosomes will each of its daughter cells have after mitosis?
20
True or false, a hypothesis is usually phrased as a question.
FALSE, hypotheses should never be questions, they are usually phrased as If-Then statements, or predictions about an outcome of an initial question.
What is the term for when an enzyme loses its shape and can no longer function?
"Denature"
Name two ways you can change the speed of a chemical reaction.
What is the full name for ATP?
Adenosine TriPhosphate
Name two things ONLY eukaryotes have
Possible answers: Nucleus, membrane bound organelles, multicellular structure
For the following example, create a hypothesis, and identify the independent variable, dependent variable, and name two possible constants you would need to keep in mind:
You want to test out a new energy drink on athletes to see if it will make them run faster, so you give one group of athletes the energy drink, while you give another group of athletes plain water. You then record the time it takes each group to run one mile.
Hypotheses will vary, but should be phrased as if/then statements, or be predictions about what will occur.
Independent variable is the energy drink, dependent variable is the running speed.
Possible constants: Amount of energy drink/water given, age of athletes, gender of athletes, meals the athletes ate beforehand, daily training of athletes, weather conditions of mile run etc..
