---|---|---|---|---|
What are Mitochondria
Because your heart needs a constant supply of energy to continue beating, your cardiac muscle cells have an extremely high number of these ATP-producing organelles.
|
What is Mitosis
Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase are all the basic steps of this process in a cell's life cycle.
|
What is Glucose
This carbohydrate is a product of photosynthesis
|
What are Genes
Proteins are created according to these sections of DNA that are inherited across generations.
|
What is Homeostasis
Insulin plays an important role in regulating blood sugar levels, exemplifying this principal of maintaining balance in the body.
|
What is the Nucleus
In eukaryotes, transcription takes place in this membrane-bound organelle.
|
What is Synthesis or S Phase
DNA is replicated during this step of Interphase.
|
What are Phospholipids
Our plasma membranes are made up of these molecules that have two fatty acid tails and a hydrophilic head.
|
What is mRNA
Transcription produces this messenger molecule capable of leaving the nucleus.
|
What are Mutations
Natural selection is only possible thanks to these genetic changes introducing variation between individuals in a population.
|
What is the Vacuole
In humans, this cell structure provides storage for water and waste. In plants, it is much larger and provides support for the cell.
|
What is Cytokinesis
At this step, a cell's cytoplasm is divided in half, resulting in two identical daughter cells.
|
What are Amino Acids
These are the monomers that make up proteins.
|
What are Ribosomes
Translation occurs at these structures found in all types of cells.
|
What is Cellular Respiration
Glucose is produced during photosynthesis, and broken to provide energy through this process.
|
What are Transport Proteins
These types of proteins facilitate diffusion of large particles across the cell membrane.
|
What are Chromatids
During anaphase, the sister these of each chromosome are pulled toward opposite sides of the cell.
|
What are Enzymes
This category of proteins are known as biological catalysts.
|
What is tRNA
Each amino acid has at least one associated anticodon found on these molecules.
|
What are Gametes
Meiosis produces four genetically unique cells known as these, AKA sex cells.
|
What is Hypertonic
If a freshwater fish were placed in salt water, the environment would be called a this type of solution because of its higher solute concentration.
|
What are Prophase and Telophase
The nuclear membrane dissolves at this step, allowing the chromosomes to be divided, and it reappears at this later step (name both steps).
|
What is ATP
This nucleic acid is produced through cell respiration.
|
What is UAC GAU CCG
Transcribe this DNA sequence into RNA:
ATG CTA GGC |
What are Okazaki Fragments
During DNA replication, DNA Polymerase creates these small chunks of DNA on the lagging strand which are later sealed together by Ligase.
