Name that Organelle II | Cellular Respiration | Chemistry in Biology?!?!? | Vocabulary | PROTEIN POWER |
---|---|---|---|---|
What is the nucleus
Surrounded by an envelope, this organelle directs the activity of the cell.
|
What are carbon dioxide, water, and ATP
These are the three products of cellular respiration.
|
What is an atom
This is the smallest unit of matter that has distinctive properties of an element.
|
What is the granum
A stack of thylakoids is called this.
|
What is DNA
This structure holds the instructions for the cells on how to make proteins.
|
What is the rough endoplasmic reticulum
This organelle packages and transports proteins made by ribosomes that are attached to it.
|
What is the citric acid cycle
This stage of cellular respiration is where pyruvic acid is broken down into carbon dioxide.
|
What are proteins
Embedded in cell membranes, this type of organic macromolecule helps larger molecules cross the membrane.
|
What is chlorophyll
The molecule where sunlight is absorbed in the chloroplast.
|
What is transcription
The process by which RNA is made from the DNA in the nucleus.
|
What is the chloroplast
Contains stroma and thylakoids within it.
|
What is the cytoplasm
Glycolysis, the first step of cellular respiration, occurs in this part of the cell.
|
What is nucleic acid
This type of organic macromolecule makes up DNA.
|
What is a photosystem
Part of the thylakoid membrane, this type of protein specifically contains chlorophyll within it.
|
What is the golgi apparatus
Final protein refinements, storage, and packaging occur in this organelle.
|
What is the mitochondria
The site of processes such as the citric acid cycle and the electron transport chain.
|
What is glucose
Cellular respiration releases the chemical energy stored in this type of molecule.
|
What is protons, neutrons, electrons
Atoms are made up of these three sub atomic particles.
|
What is pyruvic acid
The process of glycolysis produces two of these molecules.
|
What is chromosomes
These are the strands of DNA, tightly wrapped up, that are located in the nucleus.
|
What is cell wall
Made up of cellulose, this structure helps plants stand upright
|
What are NADH and FADH2
Electrons are passed from the citric acid cycle to the electron transport chain through the production of these two molecules.
|
What is a cell
Smallest, simplest unit of life.
|
What are Eukaryotic cells
The type of cell that can be unicellular or multicellular.
|
What is translation
This process occurs at the ribosomes.
