Q

CHLOROPLASTS

A

RESPONSIBLE FOR PERFORMING PHOTOSYNTHESIS; USUALLY CONTAINS CHLOROPHYLL

23
Q

CHROMOPLASTS

A

ENHANCES REPRODUCTION AND PROPAGATION OF PLANTS

24
Q

AMYLOPLASTS

A

STORAGE OF STARCH AND SUGAR; USUALLY COLORLESS

25
FLAGELLUM
TAIL-LIKE STRUCTURE USED FOR PROPULSION
26
CILIA
HAIR-LIKE STRUCTURE USED FOR MOTION
27
PILI
HAIR-LIKE STRUCTURE USED FOR DIRECTING MATERIALS TO A SPECIFIC LOCATION; USED IN BACTERIAL REPRODUCTION
28
ACTIVE TRANSPORT
TRANSFER OF SUBSTANCES ACROSS A MEMBRANE, REQUIRES ATP, OPPOSES TEH GRADIENT
29
PASSIVE TRANSPORT
NATURAL MOVEMENT, FOLLOWS THE GRADIENT, DOES NOT REQUIRE ENERGY
30
DIFFUSION
MOVEMENT OF SOLUTES FROM HIGH TO LOW CONCENTRATION AREAS
31
FACILITATED DIFFUSION
MOVEMENT OF SOLUTE THAT IS CARRIED BY ANOTHER SOLUTE/CARRIER PROTEINS
32
OSMOSIS
MOVEMENT OF WATER FROM LOW TO HIGH CONCE4NTRATION AREAS
33
ISOTONIC
EQUAL CONCENTRATION
34
HYPOTONIC
LOWER CONCENTRATION; BURSTING OF CELLS
35
HYPERTONIC
HIGHER CONCENTRATION; SHRINKING OF CELLS
36
CELL DIVISION
METHOD OF WHICH A CELL REPRODUCES BY DIVIDING, ALSO KNOWN AS CYTOKINESIS OR CYTOPLASMIC DIVISION
37
PROPHASE
DNA STRANDS ARE DUPLICATED AND CONDENSED INTO CHROMOSOMES; THE NUCLEAR ENVELOPE DISSOLVES; ORGANELLS ARE ALSO DUPLICATED
38
METAPHASE
SISTER CHROMATIDS LINE UP IN THE MIDDLE AND ATTACH TO SPINDLE POLES
39
ANAPHASE
SPINDLE FIBERS ATTACH TO CENTROMERES AND CHROMATIDS ARE PULLED APRT TO EACH SIDE; CHROMATIDS ARE NOW INDEPENDENT CHROMOSOMES
40
TELOPHASE
CHROMOSOMES DE-CONDENSE; NUCLEAR ENVELOPE FORMS AROUND THE CHROMOSOMES; CYTOPLASMIC DIVISION OCCURS AND THE 2 SETS OF CHROMOSOMES DIVIDE INTO 2 SEPARATE CELLS
41
MITOSIS
EQUATIONAL DIVISION; CELL DUPLICATES ITS CONTENTS ONCE AND DIVIDES ONCE CREATING CELLS WITH THE SAME NUMBER OF CHROMOSOMES AS THE MOTHER CELL ()DIPLOID
42
MEIOSIS
REDUCTIONAL DIVISION; DUPLICATES ITS CONTENTS ONCE BUT DIVIDES TWICE CREATING CELLS WITH ONLY HALF THE NUMBER OF CHROMOSOMES (HAPLOID)
43
REPLICATION
PROCESS WHERE DNA IS COPIED FOR DUPLICATION (PROPHASE)
44
TRANSCRIPTION
PROCESS WHERE RNA IS PRODUCED FROM DNA
45
mRNA (MESSENGER RNA)
PRODUCT OF DNA TRANSCRIPTION; TRANSPORTED OUT OF THE NUCLEUS TO ANOTHER SITE FOR PROTEIN PRODUCTION; CONTAINS THE CODE OF THE DNA
46
tRNA (TRANSPORT RNA)
MOLECULE CONTAINING THE CORRESPONDING AMINO ACID DICTATED BY THE mRNA CODE
47
rRNA (RIBOSOMAL RNA)
RNA CONTAINING PART OF THE RIBOSOME WHERE AMINO ACIDS/PROTEINS ARE ASSEMBLED
48
TRANSLATION
PROCESS OF ASSEMBLING A PROTEIN/POLYPEPTIDE CHAIN FROM AN AMINO ACID/PEPTIDE COMPONENTS
49
CODON
A TRIPLET OF NUCLEOBASES USED AS A CODE TO REPRESENT CORRESPONDING AMINO ACIDS
50
START CODON
CODON WHERE TRANSLATION BEGINS; REPRESENTED BY THE CODON AUG
51
END CODON
CODON WHERE TRANSLATIONS END; REPRESENTED BY UAA, UAG, UGA
52
INITIATION
A SMALL RIBOSOMAL UNIT ATTACHES TO THE INITIATOR tRNA THAT IS USED TO LOCATE THE BEGINNING SITE BEFORE ATTACHING TO A LARGE RIBOSOMAL UNIT
53
ELONGATION
tRNA DELIVERS AMINO ACIDS TO THE RIBOSOME ACCORDING TO THE CODON AND A PEPTIDE BOND IS FORMED BETWEEN THE NEW AMINO ACID AMD THE PREVIOUSLY ATTACHED UNIT BEFORE LEAVING BEHIND THE AMINO ACID WITH THE NEWLY FORMED LINK
54
TERMINATION
THE STOP CODON INITIATES A REACTION THAT DETACHES THE AMINO ACID; THE FINAL PRODUCT IS A CHAIN OF PEPTIDES
