Hesi Bio Flashcards
What is the structure of proteins
polymers of amino acids
what are the two main functions of steroids
important part of cell membranes, signaling molecules
ribosomes
protein synthesis,read rna, read the genetic instructions to produce proteins
lysosomes
digestive system of the cell,hydrolytic enzymes that makes it easier to break down fats, proteins, sugars and nucleic acids
messenger RNA transfers information
from DNA to ribosomes
transcription
DNA to RNA to MRNA to RNA polymerase
mitotic cell division
results in two identical daughter cells to their parent cells
what is the role of water in photosynthesis?
supply electrons in the light reaction
light reactions
solar light converted into ATP Cell absorbs the light and uses the light energy to split a water molecule and transfers the electrons producing NADH and ATP
calvin cycle
NADH and ATP created by the light reactions to produce sugar.
Crossing over
cells give each other the genetic materials mitosis this does not occur
what comes from photosynthesis?
glucose and oxygen
golgi apparatus
it is the fed ex, transportation, packaging
smooth er
detoxification, synthesis of carbohydrates,lipids, steroids
rough er
membrane production, covered in ribosomes, protein synthesis
carbs
generally long chains or polymers of sugar, storage, structure, and energy, carbon, hydrogen, oxygen
