Science: Life Science Flashcards
Special type of protein that speeds up chemical reaction
Ex: breaking down food
Enzymes
DNA four types of nucleotides ( small molecules that makes up DNA)
RNA substitutes…
Adenine
Cytosine
Guanine
Thymine
RNA: Uracil for thymine
AT and CG or AU
Single celled organism
No nucleus, mitochondria, chloroplasts
Prokaryotes
Ex: bacteria
Contain a nucleus
Multicellular organisms
Chromosomes found in _
Eukaryotes
Nucleus
Organelles:
Produce energy
Produce proteins
Store water and other molecules
Mitochondria
Ribosomes
Vacuoles
Plants store energy from sunlight as sugars, energy source for cell function
Photosynthesis
_ phase
Duplicates DNA
Prophase
_ phase
Chromosomes line up in pairs along central axis in cell
Metaphase
_ phase
Pairs begin to split - one chromosome to one side and other toward opposite side
Anaphase
_ Phase
Cell membrane splits…two new cells are formed
Telophase
_ phase
division is complete
2 cells return to normal rest ing states
Interphase
I Picked My Apples Today
Interphase Prophase Metaphase Anaphase telophase
Produces two cells with the same DNA* same # of chromosomes as parent cell*
Formation of reproductive cells
Mitosis
Meiosis
Chromosomes in reproductive cells
chromosomes in body cells
