25
Cell Membrane
membrane surrounding the cell
26
prokaryotic
cell that does not have a nucleus or membrane bound organelles
27
eukaryotic
cell that does have a nucleus or membrane bound organelles
28
stages of cellular respiration in order
glycosis, Krebs cycle, electron transport chain
29
One parent body cell contains 46 chromosomes. At the end of mitosis, each of the two new daughter cells will have
46
30
Calvin cycle/ light Independant / dark cycle
chemical reactions in photosynthesis NOT requiring the presence of light and involving the reduction of carbon dioxide to form carbohydrate
31
light dependent
happen in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplasts and occur in the presence of sunlight. The sunlight is converted to chemical energy. The chlorophyll absorbs sunlight and is responsible for photosynthesis.
32
G1
he period in the cell cycle from the end of cell division to the beginning of DNA replication
33
G2
the period in the cell cycle from the completion of DNA replication to the beginning of cell division
34
mitosis
The process by which a single parent cell divides to make two new daughter cells
35
Cytokinesis
the process by which one cell physically divides into two cells
36
aerobic
A chemical process in which oxygen is used to make energy from carbohydrates
37
anaerobic
this type of cellular respiration does not use oxygen to produce energy
38
mitosis phases in order
1. prophase 2. metaphase 3. anaphase 4. telophase
39
stroma
The cells and tissues that support and give structure to organs, glands, or other tissues in the body
40
granum
stack of thylakoids
41
thylakoids
interconnected disc-like sacs of the internal membrane system of the chloroplast
42
cellular respiration formula
C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6 O 2 --> 6 CO 2 + 6 H 2 O + ATP or glucose + oxygen --- carbon dioxide + water + energy
43
photosynthesis formula
6CO2+6H2O→C6H12O6+6O2 or carbon dioxide + water ---- glucose + oxygen
44
How many phosphate molecules are present in ATP?
3
45
CHO 1:2:1
carbohydrates
46
CHO 1:2
lipids
47
CHON
proteins
48
CHONP
nucleic acids
49
phospholipid
a lipid containing a phosphate group in its molecule
50
selective permeability
Property of the cell membrane allowing some materials to pass through while keeping others out
51
krebs cycle
- takes place in mitochondria -produces carbon dioxide and 2 ATP -changes NAD to NADH
52
electron transport chain
-inner membrane of mitochondria -makes water and oxygen -aerobic -34 ATP
53
glycosis
the breakdown of glucose by enzymes, releasing energy and pyruvic acid
54
enzyme catalyst
an enzyme that brings about (catalyzes) the reaction by which hydrogen peroxide is decomposed to water and oxygen.
55
tRNA
carries amino acids to ribosomes
56
mRNA
messanger rna. DNA copy or message that makes protein
57
rRNA
structural component of ribosomes.
58
helicase
he enzyme that separates/unwinds DNA during replication
59
DNA polymerase
the enzyme that adds DNA nucleotides during DNA replication.
60
purine
two rings
61
pyrimidine
one ring
62
