BIOTECH BACE STUDY GUIDE UPDATED QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS GRADED A+
✔✔Mitosis - ✔✔A type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the
same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus.
✔✔Haploid - ✔✔An organism or cell having only one complete set of chromosomes.
✔✔Prokaryotic - ✔✔Cells with no nucleus. Like bacteria
✔✔Monosaccharide/ Disaccharide/ Polysaccharide - ✔✔A monosaccharide is a single
sugar molecule. A Disaccharide is two sugar molecules. A Polysaccharide is multiple
sugar molecules.
✔✔antiparallel - ✔✔two biopolymers are antiparallel if they run parallel to each other but
with opposite directionality alignments.
✔✔base pairing rules - ✔✔A with T: the purine adenine (A) always pairs with the
pyrimidine thymine (T)
C with G: the pyrimidine cytosine (C) always pairs with the purine guanine (G)
✔✔Plasmid - ✔✔A plasmid is a small, circular, double-stranded DNA molecule that is
distinct from a cell's chromosomal DNA. They're used for programing cells.
✔✔catalyze - ✔✔any substance that increases the rate of a chemical reactions
✔✔Chromosome - ✔✔A threadlike structure of nucleic acids and protein found in the
nucleus of most living cells, carrying genetic information in the form of genes.
✔✔Eukaryotic - ✔✔Any cell that has a nucleus.
✔✔Prokaryotic Chromosome - ✔✔
✔✔Aerobic
Anaerobic - ✔✔Aerobic- Cellular respiration with oxygen.
Anaerobic- cellular respiration without oxygen. Breaks down glucose without oxygen
✔✔Enzyme - ✔✔A protein that helps create chemical reactions in the body and can
increase the rate of those reactions to help support life
✔✔Central Dogma of Molecular Biology - ✔✔The central dogma of molecular biology
describes the flow of genetic information in cells from DNA to messenger RNA (mRNA)
to protein
