BIO 101

QuestionAnswer
Characteristics of Water Cohesion (water molecules like to stick together) Low heat capacity, less dense as a solid, good solvent - universal solvent
Carbs Carbs - storage molecule - used for physical structure - cellulose - glucose - fructose - lactose - maltose Lipids - triglycerides (fatty acids) - phospholipids - used for structure - sterols (hormones) - cholesterol Nucleic Acids
Lipids Lipids - triglycerides (fatty acids) - phospholipids - used for structure - sterols (hormones) - cholesterol
Proteins * formed from amino acids * vary in length * some are made up of 5 amino acids, other * complex structure of amino acid = import function and equally complex * Structural * Protection * Transportation
Nucleic acid * DNA * doubled stranded * RNA * single stranded * Information storage molecules * Nucleotides * Adenine (A) * Thymine (T) * Cytosine (C) * Guanine (G)
* CODON * pair of 3 nitrogenous bases * → Amino Acids
What is a cell? Basic unit of life - all life on earth is comprised of cells
Eukaryotic cells Animals Plants Fungi - big cells - CONTAIN A NUCLEUS -
Prokaryotic Cells Bacteria - DO NOT CONTAIN A NUCLEUS - Smaller cells - strange structures
Replication of DNA DNA→DNA
Transcription of DNA DNA→RNA
Translation of DNA is when you get proteins
Allele one or more forms of the same gene
Amino Acids The building blocks of proteins
Chromosomes thread like structure that contains all or part of DNA
genome all the information coding in the genes
genotype genetic makeup of a cell or organism
CHange in a cells genetic code mutation
Criteria for life Metabolism Reproduction
Types of mutation Point mutation Insertion of A/T/C/G Deletion Substitution 1 OR 2 MUTATIONS DOESN'T MATTER BUT 100s or 1,000s WOULD EFFECT THE GENOME
region of the genome Coding Non-coding - doesn't code for any single traits
Nitrogenous Bases Adinine, Thymine, Guanine, Cytosine
WHat is the most common form of mutation single-gene mutation
What is a characteristic of an

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
