1
Why is polarity the most important characteristic of water?
The results of the polarity are hydrogen bonding, a high specific heat value, and its versatile
solvent properties
2
A cell from heart muscle would more than likely contain an unusually proportion of
Mitochondria
3
What part of cellular respiration produces the greatest amount of atp?
Electron transport chain
4
The Krebs and Calvin cycles both result in a net production of what?
ATP, NADH
5
Why is it important for cells to undergo mitosis?
Mitosis produces cells for growth and repair body tissue.
6
How is information transformed to make a protein?
DNA-RNA-protein
7
Hierarchic system of classification
Kingdom, Phylum, Class, order, family, Genus, Species
8
Allels
any of several forms of a gene, usually arising through mutation, that are responsible for
heredity variation
9
Amino Acids
Any of a class of organic compounds that contain at least one amino group, -NH , and are
carboxyl group, -COOH: The alpha amino acids , are building blocks from which proteins are
constructed
10
Anaphase
Begins when chromosomes start to separate. In this phase, the chromosome are considered
separate chromosomes.
11
Binary Fission
Fission into two organisms approximately equal in size. Type of a sexual reproduction; parent
cell splits into two identical daughter cells
12
Cellular Membrane
*Most important component of the cell, contributing to protection, communication, and the
passage of substances into and out of the cell.
*Consists of a bilayer of phospholipids with proteins, cholesterol, and glycoproteins.
, *Phospholipids are amphipathic molecules, this bilayer creates a hydrophobic region between
the two layers of lipids, making it selectively permeable.
13
Chloroplasts
*Found in plants and are the sites of photosynthesis
*Produce cell energy
14
Chromosomes
Compact rod-shaped bodies located with in the nucleus of a cell; contain DNA
15
Codon
Three base sequence of messenger RNA ; each sequence of nucleotides in mRNA that base pairs
with DNA base triplet.
* These code for a specific amino acid
16
Cytoplasm
Cellular contents between the plasma membrane and the nucleus includes cytosol and
organelles
17
Cytokinesis
division of the cytoplasm into two cells. It is achieved by the motor protein myosin pulling
microfilaments of actin in the terminal web of the cytoskeleton . This creates a crease called the
cleavage furrow around the equator of the cell, and eventually pinches into two
18
cytosol
fluid that surrounds the organelles
19
Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA)
A unique molecule specific to a particular organism; it contains the genetic code that is
necessary for replication.
*they described a double helical structure that contains the four nitrogenous bases adenine,
thymine, guanine, and cytosine. Each base forms hydrogen bonds with another base of the
complimentary strand. A-T, G-C.
20
Electron Transport Chain
Series of steps in cellular respiration that produces water and ATP. The energy harvest here is
remarkable. for every glucose molecule, 28 to 32 ATP molecules can be produced.
21
Exocytosis
membrane enclose "secretory" vesicles form inside cell, fuse with plasma membrane, and
release their contents into extracellular fluid
22
Endocytosis
materials move into a cell in a vesicle formed by plasma membrane
