final exam biology Trimester A part 3
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Phase of mitosis when chromosomes line up along the middle of the dividing cell: | Metaphase |
| One product of cellular respiration | water |
| diffusion | movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration |
| osmosis | movement of water across a semi permeable membrane |
| translation | the cell uses information from mRNA to produce proteins |
| controlled experiment | tests the effect of a single variable |
| organelle that releases energy from sugars and other molecules | mitochondrion |
| organisms that make their own food | autotrophs |
| organisms that eat other organisms | heterotrophs |
| An animal cell that is surrounded by fresh water will burst because | osmosis causes water to move into a cell |
| particle transport that requires input of energy from the cell | active transport |
| Type of RNA that functions as a blueprint for protein synthesis | mRNA |
| The work of scientists generally begins with: | making observations and asking questions |
| genes contain instructions for assembling: | proteins |
| The function of a nucleus | store DNA, direct activities of the cell, contains the information to make proteins |
| genes that are located close together on the chromosome | rarely assort independently |
| nondisjunction | failure of homologous chromosomes to separate during meiosis |
| number of chromosomes in a normal human karyotype | 46 |
| cells that do not have a nucleus | prokaryotes |
| DNA replication happens in this cell cycle phase | S phase |
