21
Q

G3P

A

Product of Calvin Cycle (3-carbon)

22
Q

Mitochondria

A

Organelle within eukaryotic cells that produce ATP

23
Q

Aerobic

A

Exchange two gases ~ oxygen and carbon dioxide

24
Q

Anaerobic

A

Respiration occur without oxygen, and release less energy

25
Cellular respiration
A series of metabolic processes that take place within a cell
26
Fermentation
Chemical change that happen in vegetable or animal substance
27
Gene
Carry the information that determines the trait
28
Chromatin
Genetic material or a macromolecule comprising DNA, RNA and protein (DNA + protein that assist in organizational structure)
29
Sister chromatid
Dividing cells, each chromosome has connected at the centromere
30
Homologous chromosomes
23 pairs of 1 copy from each parent (chromosome pairs inherited from each)
31
Diploid
Cell containing two sets of chromosomes
32
Haploid
Cell containing single set of chromosome
33
Cell cycle
Regulating by dividing into dividing and non-dividing (interphase) sections
34
Mitosis
The general form of replication (growth, replacement) and does not require input from the organism
35
Gamete
Haploid cell = 1 diploid cell (gender) and an organism's reproductive cell
36
Non-disjunction
Failed separation of chromosomes during cell division
37
The act of flipping a light switch and the resulting light that fills a dark room are both examples of:
Kinetic energy
38
According to the laws of thermodynamics, energy can be
Transformed but not created or destroyed
39
A chemical reaction combines two small, low-energy monosaccharides into one larger, higher-energy disaccharide. The reaction would be classified as follows:
Endergonic and anabolic
40
A molecule is similar but not identical to the substrate binding to the active site of an enzyme, preventing it from catalyzing a reaction. The molecule is an
Competitive inhibitor
41
The part of the chloroplast where the Calvin Cycle occurs is the:
Stroma
42
In photosynthesis, NADP becomes NADPH during the___using electrons supplied by
Light-dependent reaction; water
43
In both photosynthesis and aerobic cellular respiration, H+ ions are pumped across an inner membrane using active transport to create a concentration gradient during
The electron transport chain
44
Fermentation is used by cells when there is an absence of and is used to produce from
Oxygen; NAD+; NADH
45
Two identical copies of a specific strand of DNA formed during the S-phase and held together by a centromere are:
Sister chromatids
46
In what phase would sister chromatids (not homologs) be arranged along the cell midline during cell division?
Metaphase 1
47
If a plant has a diploid number of 14, how many chromosomes would you expect in one of its gamete?
7
48
Which of the following statement is incorrect for meiosis?
Sister chromatids of a chromosome in metaphase 1 are not identical
