- Monomer: Saccharides (sugars), Glucose, Cellulose, Starch, Chitin
2
Q
Lipids
A
- CHO
- Monomer: Fatty Acids and Glycerol
- Wax, Oils, and Fats
3
Q
Proteins
A
- CHON
- Monomer: Amino Acids
- Enzymes bind to substrates to lower activation energy in chemical reactions
4
Q

A
- CHONP
- Monomer: Nucleotides
DNA & RNA
5
Q
Prokaryote
A
- NO nucleus or membrane bound organisms
- Kingdoms: Bacteria and Archea
6
Q
Eukaryote
A
- Has a nucleus and membrane bound organisms
- Kingdom: Protists, Fungi, Plants, and Animals
7
Q
Interphase
A
the “daily living” or metabolic phase of the cell, in which the cell obtains nutrients and metabolizes them, grows, replicates its DNA in preparation for mitosis, and conducts other “normal” cell functions
8
Q
Mitosis (PMAT)
A
the process by which a cell replicates its chromosomes and then segregates them, producing two identical nuclei in preparation for cell division
9
Q
Cytokinesis
A
the physical process of cell division, which divides the cytoplasm of a parental cell into two daughter cells
10
Q
Meiosis
A
- makes gametes or sex cells
- produces 4 genetically different haploid cells
