this process functions to divide replicated chromosomes into two separate areas of a cell
mitosis
part of the cell cycle: cell grows, does protein synthesis and prepares dna for replication
g1 phase
part of the cell cycle: cell replicates all chromosomes
s phase
part of the cell cycle: cell grows, replicates organelles and checks to make sure dna is replicated properly
g2 phase
what is the longest phase of the cell cycle?
interphase
protein synthesis: during protein synthesis, one gene is copied ______ to make a molecule called messenger RNA mrna.
inside the nucleus
protein synthesis: the mrna travels ———– and meets up with a ribosome which constructs a protein based on the mrna’s code.
outside the nucleus
protein synthesus: a newly formed protein is transported along a series of canals called the ————–.
endoplasmic reticulum
protein synthesis: the protein from the endoplasmic reticulum will travel in a vesicle to the ————– which functions to package the protein and prepaire it for export through the ————–.
golgi body, cell membrane
which of the following are reactants for cellular respiration: glucose, carbon dioxide, oxygen, water?
glucose, oxygen
the primary purpose of cellular respiration is to:
harvest energy in food to make ATP
a water molecule is —— on the hydrogen side
positive
the unequal sharing of electrons in a water molecule is why water is described as a —— molecule
polar
properties of water that make it essential to life:
high heat capacity, cohesion, adhesion, universal solvent
building block of a protein
amino acids
building block of a carb
monosaccharides
building block of nucleic acids
nucleotides
most carbs are slightly polar and are thus —————.
hydrophillic
most lipids are nonpolar and are thus ———-.
hydrophobic
the most abundant component found in internal and external cell membranes:
phospholipids
a quick source of enery:
saccharides
contains the genetic code for making proteins:
nucleic acids
enzymes, membrane channels and hormones are made out of
proteins
lipase is an ———— that does a type of reaction called ———–.
enzyme, hydrolysis
