The Little Stuff: Energy, Cells, and Genetics flashcards
transgenic organism
an organism that has the DNA of another organism
pros of gmos
can improve self-life
increase nutritional value
make plants more resistant to pests
feed more people with less resources
better bottom line for farmers
more positive future for those with allergies such as peanut allergies
two ways cells are removed
necrosis
apoptosis
what is cell differentiation
when cells get assigned different jobs such as a brain cell or a liver cell
what is glycolysis
breaking glucose down into pyruvate, glyco means sugar and lysis means to break
two ways of making ATP from pyruvate
cellular respiration and fermentation
when does cellular respiration occur
if oxygen occurs
two steps of cellular respiration
kreb’s cycle
electron transport chain
both these processes occur in mitochondria
two types of fermentation
alcoholic fermenation and lactic acid fermentation
how to tell if alcoholic fermentation has occurred
if we get ATP + ethanol + carbon dioxide
how to tell if lactic acid fermentation has occurred
if we get ATP and lactic acid
fermentation
needs high amounts of glucose in starch
