QuestionAnswer
Adenine A base found in DNA and RNA
Aerobic A process using oxygen.
Amino Acids One of about 20 different small molecules that link together in long chain to form protiens. Often called the building blocks of protiens.
Anaerobic A process the does not use oxygen.
Aseptic Conditions that are free from contamination by unwanted mircoorganisms and used in fermenters.
Bases Chemical groups making up part of the DNA and RNA molecules. The order of bases in the DNA froms the genetic code.
Capillary Very small blood vessels with walls one cell thick. The site of exchange of materials between the blood and cells.
Coding The strand on DNA that carries the genetic code.
Cramp Muscle pain caused by build-up of lactic acid when a muscle is overworked.
Cultivated The growth of organisms, such as plants and mircoorganisms, in controlled conditions.
Culture Medium A liquid in which mircoorganisms are grown.
Cytosine A base found in DNA and RNA.
Diffusion The movement of molecules from a region where they are at high concentration to a region where they are low concentration.
DNA The chemical that makes up genes. (deoxyribonuleic acid)
Double Helix The shape of the DNA molecule, like a twisted ladder.
Enzymes Proteins in cells that control chemical reations. They are biological catalysts.
Fermentation Using mircoorganims to break down nutrients into useful products.
Genes Sequences of DNA inside chromosomes that control the characteristics of an organism.
Genetic Code The intructions carried by the DNA for making a cell and telling it what to do.
Glucose A simple sugar that is broken down in cells to release energy. It is also produced during photosynthesis.
Guanine A base found in DNA and RNA.
Insulin A hormone that controls the level of blood glucose.
Latic Acid The waste product of anaerobic respiration in muscle cells.
mRNA A type of RNA that carries the genetic code out from the nucleus to the cytoplasm during protein synthesis.
Mircoorganism A very small organism that can only been seen through a mircoscope. Bacteria, fungi and viruses are examples.
Organelle A part of a cell with a specific function, such as the nucleus.
Polypeptide A long chian of amino acids. A protein is made of one or more of these folded into a particular shape.
Protien A chemical made of chain of amino acids. Form part of the cells framework or carry out a particular job.
Protien synthesis The way protiens are made in a cell.
Respiration The process of breaking down glucose to release energy which happens in every living cell. Glucose is broken down into carbon dioxide and water to release energy.
Ribosome A tiny organelle in the cytoplasm of the cell where proteins are made.
RNA A chemical similar to DNA that is involed in protein synthesis.
Strand One side of the DNA double helix. The two are joined by bases.
Template A pattern, like a stencil, which can be used over and over agian. The DNA acts as one for the mRNA.
Thymine A based found in DNA.
Transcription The first stage of protien synthesis, where the genetic code in the DNA is converted into a similar code in the mRNA.
tRNA A type of RNA that carries amino acids to the ribosome to be built up into a protein.
Translation The second stage of protien synthesis, where teh genetic code in the mRNA is converted into the sequence of amino acids in a protein.
Triplet A group of three bases in DNA that codes of the placing of an amino acid in a protein during protein synthesis.
Danielle Genius! these are very good im sad i have no ink left in my printer so i cant print them off!

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.
