|
What DNA is made from? |
Adenine. Guanine. Thymine. Cytosine. |
A. G. T. C. |
|
|
What's gap junction? |
Form tunnels between cells whereas cells can easily communicate via signaling molecules as well as quickly transport small molecules and ions. |
The cells post office. |
|
|
Mitosis? |
A cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus.
Interphase Prophase Pro-metaphase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase Cytokenesis |
Cell division
I. P. P. M. A. T. C. |
|
|
Molecules that make the leaves of a plant look yellow or orange |
Carotenoids |
Carrots and oranges |
|
|
Where in the plant does photosynthesis occurs? |
Mesophyll |
|
|
|
Plasma membrane |
Separated internal environment from external environment. |
|
|
|
Energy |
Capacity to do work |
|
|
|
Work |
A force acting on an object that causes the objet to move. |
|
|
|
Metabolism |
Sum of all chemical reactions in an organism. |
|
|
|
ATP |
Generated by catabolic reaction and provides energy for anabolic reactions |
|
|
|
Where does Cellular respiration occur? |
Mitochondria |
|
|
|
Photosynthesis occurs where? |
Occurs in the chloroplasts of plants. |
Plants get energy from sun. |
|
|
Enzymes |
Proteins that function as a catalyst. |
Speed reaction time. a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself undergoing any permanent chemical change |
|
|
Osmosis |
The diffusion of water across a differentially permeable membrane due to concentration differences. |
Water diffusion |
|
|
Endocytosis |
Membrane form vesicles around objects and engulf them into cell. |
Endocytosis is a form of active transport in which a cell transports molecules (such as proteins) into the cell (endo- + cytosis) by engulfing them in an energy-using process. |
|
|
Cell junctions (3 types in animal cells) |
Anchoring junctions Tight junctions Gap junctions |
|
|
|
Channel proteins |
Allows a particular molecule or ion to cross the plasma. |
|
|
|
Carrier protein |
Interacts with a specific molecule. |
|
|
|
Cell recognition protein |
The MHC (major histocompatibility complex) glycoproteins are different for each person, so organ transplants are difficult to achieve. |
|
|
|
Receptor protein |
Is shaped in a way that a specific molecule can bind to it. |
|
|
|
Enzymatic protein |
Catalyze a specific reaction. Membrane protein, adenylate Cyclase is involved in ATP metabolism. |
|
|
|
Golgi apparatus |
Sites for the modifications and sorting of the proteins and lipids formed in the ER. |
The cells post office |
|
|
Apoptosis |
Programmed cell death |
|
|
|
Somatic cells |
All body cells; excludes cells that undergo meiosis and become sperm and eggs. |
cell of a living organism other than the reproductive cells. |
|
|
Germ cells |
Cells that produce sperms or eggs. |
|
|
|
Germ cells |
Cells that produce sperms or eggs. |
a cell containing half the number of chromosomes of a somatic cell and able to unite with one from the opposite sex to form a new individual; a gamete. an embryonic cell with the potential of developing into a gamete. |
|
|
Gametes |
Specialized cells that contain the haploid (1/2) number of chromosomes in humans, sperm and eggs. |
a mature haploid male or female germ cell that is able to unite with another of the opposite sex in sexual reproduction to form a zygote. |
|
|
Zygote |
Fertilized egg cell formed by the Union of two haploid gametes resulting in the Diploid zygote. |
a diploid cell resulting from the fusion of two haploid gametes; a fertilized |
|
|
Entropy |
Tendency to move forward a loss of complexity and useful energy which increases randomness and disorder. |
|
|
|
Gas passes through the plasma membrane |
On test |
|
|
|
Catalyst |
a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself undergoing any permanent chemical change. |
