Q

Photosynthesis definition

A

Process in which green plants and other producers contain pigments that absorb different wavelengths of sunlight energy. They use this energy to rearrange atoms from water and carbon dioxide into sugar molecules.

Q

Respiration definition

A

Process that helps heterotrophs break apart sugar molecules, with the help of oxygen. The atoms of sugar molecules are rearranged into carbon dioxide and water molecules, and the energy that was stored in the bonds of the sugar molecule is released to make ATP from ADP and Phosphate.

Q

What are two differences between plant and animal cell division?

A

plants lack centrioles

cytokinesis in animal cells proceed through production of cleavage furrow, but plant cells are rigid and can’t form cleavage furrow.

Animal cells have asters, but plant cells lack them.

24
What is S phase?
synthesis of DNA period, or DNA replication.
25
What is the G2 stage?
stage proteins for spindle fiber formation are synthesized and metabolic activity increases
26
What occurs during Interphase?
Genetic material is in the form of greatly extended strands of DNA that form a tangled mass called chromatin.
27
Monohybrid Cross
Considers a single genetic trait with two alleles, one dominant and one recessive
28
What is a dihybrid Cross?
A mating experiment between two organisms that are identically heterozygous traits.
29
What is the principle of segregation?
two alleles separate from each other in the formation of gametes
30
Who is Gregor Mendel?
Austrian monk who discovered the basic principles of heredity through experiments in his garden
31
Genotype definition
genetic makeup
32
phenotype
Observable characteristics of an individual
33
allele
one of two or more alternative forms of a gene that arise by mutation and are found at the same place on a chromosome. recessive and dominant
34
What two diseases are caused by mutation?
Sickle cell anemia | Cystic Fibrosis
35
What causes sickle cell anemia?
Substitution of one amino acid Cannot take oxygen away to a cell
36
What causes cystic fibrosis?
Insertion Causes a shape change and a loss of function-- can no longer process chloric ions. 19 changes
37
What is the process of making a copy of the DNA template strand?
Replication
38
What is the process of copying DNA into RNA
transcription
39
What is the process of building a protein with amino acids from RNA
translation
40
What are the three types of RNA?
Messenger RNA Transfer RNA Ribosomal RNA
41
What is a frame shift and what causes it to occur?
A genetic mutation caused by insertions or deletions of a number of nucleotides that is not evenly divisible by 3 from a DNA sequence
42
Where in the cell does transcription occur?
nucleus
43
Where in the cell does translation occur?
cytoplasm
44
What is a codon?
A sequence of 3 nucleotides that together form a genetic code in DNA or RNA molecule
45
What is an anticodon?
a sequence of 3 nucleotides forming a unit of genetic code in a transfer RNA molecule, corresponding to a complementary codon in messenger RNA
46
What are active sites?
A small port in an enzyme where substrate molecules bind and undergo a chemical reaction
47
Why are active sites important?
Specific molecules bind to the enzyme and a reaction occurs Similar to a key that opens a door lock
48
Which amino acids cause turns in a protein polypeptide chain?
Proline- left serine- right glutamic acid- right
49
What are the symptoms of sickle cell anemia?
RBC have a sickle shape and cannot pass through capillaries as easily. Blockage of the flow of blood and oxygen to organs is reduced Leads to organ damage
50
What are the specific symptoms of cystic fibrosis?
Is a defect in a protein that spans the plasma membrane Causes abnormal salt transport across membranes. Results in a very thick, sticky mucus that blocks the airways of lungs

66
As CO2 is removed from a solution, will it become more acidic or basic?
Basic
67
Do all organisms undergo cellular respiration in the dark, light, or both?
Both
68
Can green plants undergo photosynthesis in the light, dark, or both?
Light only
69
What color is a neutral solution?
Orange
70
Is carbon dioxide released or taken up during cellular respiration? What color does the liquid turn?
Released. Turns yellow- acidic
71
Is carbon dioxide released or taken up during photosynthesis? What color does the liquid turn?
Taken up Turns red- basic
72
What do carotenoids do?
Capture unique wavelengths of light and transfer the energy to chlorophyll
73
What is a chromatin?
Uncoiled chromosomes
74
What is a blastula?
A hollow mass of cells
75
What happens during prophase?
The chromatin starts to condense into discrete chromosomes, the nucleoli disappears, and the nuclear envelope breaks down
76
What happens during metaphase?
Chromosomes are found at the center of the cell
77
What happens during anaphase?
Sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles
78
What happens during telophase?
Chromosomes gather at the poles and begin to form daughter nuclei Nuclear envelopes begin to form Nucleoli reappears Chromosomes begin to unwind
79
Is meiosis equational or reduction division?
Reduction
80
Is mitosis equational or reduction division?
Equational
81
What is the name of the specialized cells that carry out meiosis?
