+/0 relationship
polysome - Correct Answers-cluster of ribosomes
notochord - Correct Answers-a semi-rigid rod in the dorsal part of all chordates, this remains as
a semi-rigid chord, although in highrt chordates it is seen only in the embryo and as a vestigial
organ.
-a flexible material made out of similar material to cartilage. If a species has notochord it is by
definition it is a chordate. Ex: fish, birds, mammals
enzymes - Correct Answers-proteins, typically work best at pH7.2
electron transport chain - Correct Answers-directly produces the pH gradient by pumping
protons out of the mitochondrial matrix. the proton gradient is used to make ATP.
, closed circuit - Correct Answers-has continuity and allows current to flow in it
as you go from left to right across a period, what happens to electrons - Correct Answers-
electrons are added one at a time, the electrons of the outermost shell experience an increasing
amount of nuclear attraction becoming closer and more tightly bound to the nucleus.
voltage drop - Correct Answers-happens as current passes through a resistance, represents an

regular cells - Correct Answers-2n, or diploid a set of 23 chromosomes or 46 chromosomes
sexual reproduction simplified - Correct Answers-a sperm which is haploid (n) with 23
chromosomes combines with an egg which is also haploid (n) with 23 chromosomes to form a
zygote (2n) which creates 46 chromosomes or diploid then it forms an embryo which turns into
a fetus.
autosomes - Correct Answers-In a diploid or 2n human cell there are 46 chromosomes. 2 sex
cells (one from mom, one from dad) join with 44 autosomes (23 from mom 23 from dad). Mom
and dad have identical cells called autosomes. *These are essentially chromosomes that both
mom and dad posess that are not determinants of the zygotes gender (the sex cells do this).
