QuestionAnswer
DNA An organic macromolecule that stores information about how to make proteins.
Nucleic Acid An organic macromolecule that stores genetic information
Nucleotide The building block that makes up nucleic acids like DNA
Adenine The base that pairs with Thymine in DNA
Thymine The base that pairs with Adenine in DNA
Guanine The base that pairs with Cytosine in DNA
Cytosine The base that pairs with Guanine in DNA
Uracil The base that pairs with Adenine in RNA
Chromosome A large molecule (chunk) of DNA
Gene A specific section of DNA that codes for a specific polypeptide
Homologous An adjective that describes two chromosomes that have the exact same genes, but one comes from mom and one comes from dad
Complementary An adjective used to describe two bases that always pair up together (e.g. A and T, C and G)
Base A molecule that makes up the "rungs" of DNA's ladder: A, T, C or G
Double Helix A shape like a twisted ladder
four DNA is built using only ________ building blocks
mutations A change in the nucleotide sequence of an organism's DNA, ultimately creating genetic diversity.
RNA used to direct the production of proteins by the cell
Proteins prior to 1943 it was widely believe that these stored genetic material
nucleic the acids that are the molecules that code the genetic information of organisms
polymers A DNA molecule is a double helix made up of two stands of __________ that are complementary to each other but not identical
metabolism All of the chemical reactions that occur within an organism.
glucose A simple sugar that is an important source of energy.
mitochondria An organelle in which the biochemical processes of respiration and energy production occur.
cellular respiration Creating energy or ATP from glucose and oxygen
exothermic Chemical Reaction in which energy is primarily given off in the form of heat ...classing cellular respiration as an exothermic reaction
ATP (adenosine triphosphate) main energy source that cells use for most of their work.
ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate) The compound that remains when a phosphate group is removed from ATP, releasing energy
monomer A molecule that can be bonded to other identical molecules to form a polymer.
enzyme A type of protein that speeds up a chemical reaction in a living thing

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.
