| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The site on an enzyme that attaches to a substrate | Active site |
| Requiring the presence of air or free oxygen for life | aerobic |
| Living in the absence of air or free oxygen | Anaerobic |
| An organic compound that is made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen and that provides nutrients to the cells of living things | Carbohydrate |
| The oxidation of organic compounds that occurs within cells, producing energy for cellular processes. | Cellular Respiration |
| A basic tenet of modern biology, first stated by Matthias Schleiden and Theodor Scwann, that cells are the basic units of structure, they function in living organisms, they are made up of one or more cells, and that cells only come from existing celles | Cell Theory |
| The green coloring matter of leaves and plants, essential to the production of carbohydrates by photosynthesis | Chlorophyll |
| The force that holds molecules of a single material together | Cohesion |
| The process of removing water from a substance or a compound | Dehydration synthesis |
| The loss of a part of DNA from a chromosome | Deletion |
| The Movement of particles from regions of higher density to regions of a lower density. | Diffusion |
| A type of protein or RNA molecule that speeds up metabolic reactions in plant and animals without being permanently changed or destroyed | Enzyme |
| A graphical representation designed to show the biomass or productivity at each trophic level in a given ecosystem | Energy pyramid |
| A state that exists when the concentration of a substance is the same throughout a space. | Equilibrium |
| An organism that obtains organic food molecules by eating other organisms or their byproducts and that cannot synthesize organic compounds from inorganic materials | Heterotroph |
| Describes a solution whose solute concentration is lower than the solute concentration inside a cell. | Hypotonic |
| A compound that changes color at a specific pH value or in the presence of a particular substance and can be used to monitor acidity, alkalinity or the progress of a reaction | Indicator |
| A larger, nonpolar organic molecule, including fats and steroids; lipids store energy and make up cell membranes | Lipid |
| A Model used to suggest the mode of operation of an enzyme in which the substrate fits into the active site of the protein like a key into a lock | Lock and key |
| The diffusion of water or another solvent from a more dilute solution to a more concentrated solution through a membrane that is permeable to the solvent | Osmosis |
| The symbol for the logarithm of the reciprocal of hydrogen ion concentrations in gram atoms per liter, used to express the acidity or alkalinity of a solution on a scale of 0 to 14. | pH |
| the process by which plants, algae and some bacteria use sunlight, carbon dioxide and water to produce carbohydrates and oxygen | photosynthesis |
| An organic compound that is made of one or more chains of amino acids and that is a principle component of all cells | Protein |
| In a solution, the substance that dissolves in the solvent | solute |
| In a solution, the substance in which the solute dissolves | Solvent |
| A part, substance or element that lies Beneath and supports another part, substance, or element; the reactant inreactions catalyzed by enzymes | Substrate |
| The process of becoming adapted to an environment; and anatomical, physiological, or behavioral trait that improves an organism's ability to survive and reproduce | Adaptation |
