Building Blocks in Life Science Chapters 13-19 Flashcards
Chemical evolution on earth is impossible; life was seeded here from outer space.
Crick
used as a code to “tell” the cell how to make proteins, including enzymes
DNA
The popular slogan “Evolution is science; creation is faith” is (obviously the absolute truth/nearly exactly the opposite of the truth) and is meant to (start/stop) discussion of scientific evidence.
nearly exactly opposite of the truth; stop
provides the motion that destroys structure and can bring death
water
Long ago, Miller accepted the evidence that his spark chamber experiment (did/did not) support chemical evolution. He tried other starting materials and conditions: these also seemed to (prevent/ promote) belief that chemicals produced life.
did not; prevent
Evolution became a scientific religion, and many scientists will bend their observations to fit with it.
Lipson
pass hereditary instructions from one generation to the next
DNA
Using the many specific proteins in ribosomes and “translases” to establish DNA code for making specific proteins
Creation
Radically changed Earth’s weather and soil conditions, and mutations perhaps help explain why God allowed meat eating
Catastrophe
Mutations
Corruption
provide energy to make “build up” reactions go faster than “break down”
ATP
Darwin’s “war of nature…famine and death”
Corruption
consist of proteins in a phospholipid bilayer
membranes
provides the motion to molecules that make life possible
water
DNA’s base pair replication is the basis for all “reproduction after kind.” But is DNA truly a self- reproducing molecule? Explain.
No. DNA is NOT self-reproducing. Its replication requires lots of raw materials and energy. Its continuing replication requires a continuously renewed supply of “expensive” raw materials and energy, the complex and pre-energized single nucleotides.
The inference to design is based on a ruthlessly consistent application of logic; Paley was right—design implies a Designer.
Denton
Using “trained viruses” and other gene carriers to cure genetic diseases, setting right what once went wrong
Christ
I don’t believe there’s any evidence of creation, but if there were, the “creator” would be aliens, not God.
Dawkins
regulate what gets in and out of the cell
membranes
The Bible says living things are made of (not by) “dust,” simple “earthly” substances like the hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, and phosphorus that make up over 95 percent of “living matter.” Write the symbols for these five kinds of atoms: _____, _____, _____, _____, _____.
H, O, N, C, P
select which molecules get an “energy boost”
enzymes
Without seeing either the creator or the creative act, is there any way a scientist could tell whether an object were produced by time and chance or plan and purpose? Explain.
What does it take to recognize evidence of creation? Just the ordinary tools of science: logic and observation. Even when we don’t know who or what the creative agent is, there are cases where “creation” is simply the most logical inference from our scientific observations. For example: A pebble and an arrowhead can be made of the same material. Yet, the rock will show signs of weathering and processes over time. The arrowhead is clearly something deliberately made.
Using research on adult stem cells to bring healing and restoration, following Jesus’ example
Christ
DNA bases have interlocking shapes forming base pairs G-C and __-__. In RNA, U pairs like T, so interlocking DNA-RNA bases are G-C and __-__. DNA makes “messenger RNA” (mRNA) by DNA-RNA base-pairing, so the DNA for disease-causing HBS (GGACATCTT) would make mRNA sequence _____.
A-T; A-U; CCUGUAGAA
large proteins with “active sites” that hold molecules with matching shapes for speedy reaction
enzymes
Shuffling melanin control genes to produce all variations of human skin tone in one generation
Creation
Increased mutation rates and disease, possibly led to decreased life spans
Catastrophe or Corruption
There must be a God; the odds of getting life by chance is like a tornado going through a junkyard assembling a Boeing 747 jumbo jet.
