🗑
|
||||
| Aseptic | Conditions that are free from contamination by unwanted mircoorganisms and used in fermenters.

🗑
|
||||
| DNA | The chemical that makes up genes. (deoxyribonuleic acid)
🗑
|
||||
| Double Helix | The shape of the DNA molecule, like a twisted ladder.
🗑
|

| Genes | Sequences of DNA inside chromosomes that control the characteristics of an organism.
🗑
|
||||
| Genetic Code | The intructions carried by the DNA for making a cell and telling it what to do.
🗑
|

||||
| Insulin | A hormone that controls the level of blood glucose.
🗑
|
||||
| Latic Acid | The waste product of anaerobic respiration in muscle cells.
🗑
|
||||
| mRNA | A type of RNA that carries the genetic code out from the nucleus to the cytoplasm during protein synthesis.
🗑
|
||||
| Mircoorganism | A very small organism that can only been seen through a mircoscope. Bacteria, fungi and viruses are examples.
🗑
|
||||
| Organelle | A part of a cell with a specific function, such as the nucleus.
🗑
|
||||
| Polypeptide | A long chian of amino acids. A protein is made of one or more of these folded into a particular shape.
🗑
|
||||
| Protien | A chemical made of chain of amino acids. Form part of the cells framework or carry out a particular job.
🗑
|
||||
| Protien synthesis | The way protiens are made in a cell.
🗑
|
||||
| Respiration | The process of breaking down glucose to release energy which happens in every living cell. Glucose is broken down into carbon dioxide and water to release energy.
🗑
|
||||
| Ribosome | A tiny organelle in the cytoplasm of the cell where proteins are made.
🗑
|
||||
| RNA | A chemical similar to DNA that is involed in protein synthesis.
🗑
|
||||
| Strand | One side of the DNA double helix. The two are joined by bases.
🗑
|
||||
| Template | A pattern, like a stencil, which can be used over and over agian. The DNA acts as one for the mRNA.
🗑
|
||||
| Thymine | A based found in DNA.
🗑
|
||||
| Transcription | The first stage of protien synthesis, where the genetic code in the DNA is converted into a similar code in the mRNA.
🗑
|
||||
| tRNA | A type of RNA that carries amino acids to the ribosome to be built up into a protein.
🗑
|
||||
| Translation | The second stage of protien synthesis, where teh genetic code in the mRNA is converted into the sequence of amino acids in a protein.
🗑
|
||||
| Triplet | A group of three bases in DNA that codes of the placing of an amino acid in a protein during protein synthesis.
🗑

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
To hide a column, click on the column name.
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
