Bio-Unit3-Cell Enrgy

Bio-Unit3-Cell Energetics

TermDefinition
Aerobic Oxygen
Anaerobic No Oxygen
ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) Usable energy molecule in cells
ATP Synthase Enzyme that assists with ATP formation
Cellular Respiration Chemical reaction transforming glucose into usable energy in the presence of oxygen
Chlorophyll Green pigment capable of attracting light energy
Chloroplast Membrane bound organelle in autotrophs - Converts solar energy into glucose with the aide of chlorophyll
Electron Carrier Molecule Used for electron transfer throughout a cell
Fermentation Process of making energy without oxygen present
Glucose Used for short term energy storage (C6H12O6)
Glycolysis Breakdown of glucose in the cytoplasm; anaerobic (produces 2 ATP)
Heterotroph Consumes glucose for energy (consumes other organisms)
Autotroph Produces its own glucose for energy
Photosynthesis The process of transforming sunlight into glucose (6 CO2 + 6 H2O + sunlight --> C6H12O6 + 6 O2
Mitochondria Membrane bound organelle producing ATP by breaking down Glucose through Cellular Respiration (Honors: Krebs Cycle & Electron Transport Chain produces 36 ATP in addition to 2 in Glycolysis) C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + 38 ATP
Cell Cycle The complete life cycle of a cell which includes growth, chromosome replication, and cell division.
Parent Cell The cell that will be dividing
Daughter Cell The two cells that result from the original parent cell. Each daughter cell has DNA identical to the parent cell, but they will be smaller because cytoplasm was divided between the two daughter cells
Mitosis The process by which a cell divides to create two identical copies. This occurs in somatic (body) cells and has a full diploid 2n set of DNA.
Cytotkinesis Division of the cytoplasm
Prophase First stage of cell division - chromosomes coil in on themselves, nuclear membrane disappears, spindle forms as centrioles (in animal cells) migrate to poles
Metaphase Chromosomes align along the central plane. Spindle fibers attached to centromeres help.
Anaphase Sister Chromatids detach at the centromeres and are pulled to the poles by spindle fibers
Telophase Nuclear envelope begins to reform around two new nuclei as the chromatids begin to unravel and cytokinesis separates the nuclei into two new daughter cells
Interphase The longest stage of the cell cycle during which the cell grows (G1), Chromosomes replicate (S), and further growth (G2) occurs prior to mitosis.
Spindle Fibers microtube filaments that help adjust position of chromosomes and pull them apart during nuclear division
DNA Replication The S stage of the Cell cycle in which original DNA is copied
Chromosomes The coiled up DNA that are visible during cell division.
Sister Chromatids The two individual halves of the Chromosome that will separate during Anaphase - Sister Chromatids are identical and code for the same genes.
Homologous Pair There are matched pairs of chromosomes (23 sets in Humans) which are the same size and carry code for the same genes except in the sex chromosomes.
Nucleotide The monomer of DNA - includes a pentose sugar, a phosphate, and a nitrogenous base (C, G, A, T in DNA, U in RNA)
Centromeres The protein 'ball' that holds sister chromatids together and the spindle fibers will attach to during cell division

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.
