1. Proteins ANS >>> Nutrients the body uses to build and maintain its cells and
tissues made up of amino acids
2. Anaerobic Respiration ANS >>> Respiration in the absence of oxygen. This
produces lactic acid.
3. endocytosis and exocytosis ANS >>> cold/hot active transport
4. What is a pyruvate? ANS >>> end product of glycolysis
mailto:https://www.stuvia.com/user/techgrades
, 5. Ribosomes ANS >>> site of protein synthesis in the cell
6. the cell ANS >>> The basic unit of structure and function in living things
7. prokaryotic cell ANS >>> cell lacking a nucleus and other membrane bound
organelles
8. eukaryotic cell ANS >>> A cell that contains a nucleus and membrane-bound
organelles
9. cellular respiration ANS >>> Process that releases energy by breaking down
glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen
10. aerobic respiration ANS >>> Form of cellular respiration which requires oxygen
to gen- erate energy.
11. four types of transport that allow small molecules to move across the cell
membrane ANS >>> ANS >>> Diffusion, Osmosis, Active Transport, and Passive
Transport.
12. Prokaryotic Reproduction ANS >>> binary fission (asexual) (dividing 1/2)
mailto:https://www.stuvia.com/user/techgrades
, 13. binary fission ANS >>> A form of asexual reproduction in which the parent
divides into two identical halves.
14. cytokinesis ANS >>> The division of cytoplasm into two identical daughter
cells, which occurs during the telophase stage of mitosis.
15. haploid cell ANS >>> A cell that contains one set of chromosomes
16. diploid cell ANS >>> A cell that contains two sets of chromosomes
17. chromatin ANS >>> Clusters of DNA, RNA, and proteins in the nucleus of a cell
18. centriole ANS >>> structure in an animal cell that helps to organize cell division
19. chromosome ANS >>> a threadlike structure of nucleic acids and protein
found in the nucleus of most living cells, carrying genetic information in the form
of genes.
20. DNA ANS >>> deoxyribonucleic acid, a self-replicating material present in nearly
all living organisms as the main constituent of chromosomes. It is the carrier of
genetic information.

, 21. RNA ANS >>> ribonucleic acid, a nucleic acid present in all living cells. Its
principal role is to act as a messenger carrying instructions from DNA for controlling
the synthesis of proteins, although in some viruses RNA rather than DNA carries
the genetic information.
22. Nucleotide ANS >>> monomer of nucleic acids made up of a 5-carbon sugar,
a phos- phate group, and a nitrogenous base
23. transcription ANS >>> synthesis of an RNA molecule from a DNA template
24. translation ANS >>> Process by which mRNA is decoded and a protein is
produced
25. What is a chromotid? ANS >>> half of a chromosome
