| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Cell membrane | Separated living material inside the cell from nonliving material outside the cell |
| What is the function of the nucleus and where is it located in the cell? | Houses the cell's DNA, located in the cytoplasm |
| Prokaryote | Cell without a nucleus |
| Eukareote | Cell with a nucleus |
| What is the relationship between DNA and RNA? | DNA serves as a template for RNA to determine which buildigng blocks to use to make protein |
| Transcription | Synthesis of proteins from RNA |
| Central Dogma of biology | The basic flow of information in a cell |
| Gene | The DNA sequence that corresponds to a functional product (ie. a protein) |
| DNA replication | Allows genetic information to be passed from cell to cell or an organism to its progeny |
| Mutations | Errors in a DNA sequence |
| Metabolism | chemical reactions by which cells convert energy from one form to another to break down/build up molecules |
| ATP | The process of releasing energy stored in its chemical form |
| What is the function of ATP? | Provides an accessible form of chemical energy |
| Nucleoid | Where prokaryotes store their genetic information (in place of a nucleus) |
| Where do transcription and translaition take place? (hint: they're different locations!!!) | Transcription: nucleus, Translation: cytoplasm |
