|
Glucose |
Simple sugar and energy storage form. Easily converts to ATP. |
|
|
Photons |
Light energy that can be converted to glucose during photosynthesis |
|
|
Thermodynamics |
The study of energy |
|

Study of energy in living things |
|
|
Genome |
The complete collection of an organism's genetic information |
|
|
Chromosomes |
Long polymers of DNA and protein that in totallity represent the genome |
|
|
Double Helix |
Double-stranded DNA is shaped in this way |
|
|
Chromatin |
DNA wraps around a protein to create these compact arrangements of DNA |
|
|
Genes |
Unit of genetic information that lie along the double helix of DNA. Carry the code to create proteins. The human genome contains up to 23k different genes. |
|
|
DNA Replication |
DNA is copied prior to Mitosis. Double Helix is unwound and each strand is copied, creating two identical DNA molecules. |
|
|
Sister Chromatids Separate |
Mitosis and Meiosis |
|
|
Sister Chromatids are produced |
In neither Mitosis or Meiosis: Interphase |
|
|
Energy always runs... |
Downhill: Lesser disorder to greater |
|

Energy that is stored |
|
|
Kinetic energy |
Energy in motion |
|

Endergonic |
Reaction where energy is added |
|
|
Exergonic |
Reaction where energy is released |
|
|
ATP |
Adenine Triphosphate |
|
|
Lactose |
Comprised of Glucose and Galactose |
|
|
Lactase |
Enzyme of Lactose lowers the activation energy required to split Lactose |
|
|
Enzymes |
A type of protein that accelerates a chemical reaction |
|
|
Activation energy |
Energy required to go from potential to kinetic energy |
|
|
Catalyst |
Enzymes are a type; A substance that brings about a change in another substance but is unaffected itself |
|
|
Where is energy stored? |
Chemical bonds |

|
Reduced |
Molecules that accept electrons |
|
|
Oxidized |
Molecules that lose electrons |
|
|
Redox |
Electrons carried from one molecule to another |
|
|
Plant cell vs Animal cell |
Plant cells have central vacuole, chloroplasts, cell wall. Animal cells have lysosomes. |
|
|
Photosynthesis occurs in this part of the leaf |
Chloroplasts in the mesophyll |
|
|
NADPH |
Carrier molecule for electrons in phoptosynthesis |
|
|
Rubisco |
Enzyme in the Calvin Cycle that adds CO2 to low energy sugar RuBP to make glucose |
|
|
Two strands of DNA are held together by |
Hydrogen Bonds |
|
|

23000 |
|
|
Do bacteria need to undergo mitosis? |
No, they only have one chromosome. |
|
|
Aneuploidy |
Having the wrong number of chromosomes |
