|
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| glucose | simple sugar made during photosynthesis; C6H12O6
🗑
|
||||
| cellulose | polysaccharide which makes up the cell wall of plants
🗑
|
||||
| glycogen | polysaccharide that serves as storage in an animal cell
🗑
|
||||
| starch | polysaccharide serving as storage in plant cells
🗑
|
||||
| insulin | protein produced by the pancreas that allows glucose to cross the cell membrane and be broken down to create ATP
🗑
|
||||
| hemoglobin | protein responsible for transporting oxygen
🗑
|
||||
| enzymes | accelerates chemical reactions
🗑
|
||||
| phospholipids | lipid which the major component of cell membranes; hydrophobic head and hydrophilic tails
🗑
|
||||
| steroids | group of lipids including cholesterol and testosterone
🗑
|
||||
| DNA | DeoxyriboNucleic Acid; double helix
🗑
|
||||
| RNA | RiboNucleic Acid; single helix
🗑
|
||||
| carbohydrate | organic molecule which provides quick energy
🗑
|
||||
| lipid | organic molecule which functions to store long term energy, insulate, and cushion
🗑
|
||||
| protein | organic molecule which has many functions; Contractile, Hormones, Enzymes, Antibodies, Transport, and Structure
🗑
|
||||
| nucleic acid | organic molecule which stores genetic information
🗑
|
||||
| amino acids | building block of proteins
🗑
|
||||
| nucleotides | building block of nucleic acids; made of sugar, phosphate, and nitrogen base
🗑
|
||||
| nitrogen base | Adenine & Thymine/Uricil
Cytosine & Guanine
the order of these bases makes each individual a little different because it makes different proteins
🗑
|
||||
| monosaccharide | subunits of carbohydrates
🗑
|
||||
| protein synthesis | making proteins through the processes of transcription and translation
🗑
|
||||
| enzymes | protein which speeds up biologic reactions by lowering the activation energy of the reaction
🗑
|
||||
| substrate | specific match to each enzyme (lock & key model)
🗑
|
||||
| pH and temperature | affects the shape of enzymes (proteins)
🗑
|
||||
| photosynthesis | process which requires energy, water, and carbon dioxide in order for autotrophs to synthesize sugar (food)
🗑
|
||||
| cellular respiration | process which requires sugar for all organisms to release the energy molecule ATP
🗑
|
||||
| reactants of photosynthesis | carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight
🗑
|
||||
| products of photosynthesis | glucose and oxygen
🗑
|
||||
| reactants of cellular respiration | glucose and oxygen
🗑
|
||||
| products of cellular respiration | carbon dioxide, water, and ATP
🗑
|
||||
| aerobic respiration | cellular respiration occurs in the presence of oxygen, thus producing a lot of ATP
🗑
|
||||
| anaerobic respiration / fermentation | cellular respiration occurs without oxygen, thus carbon dioxide, a small amount of ATP, and either alcohol or lactic acid is produced
🗑
|
||||
| lactic acid fermentation | anaerobic respiration which produces lactic acid as a by product
🗑
|
||||
| alcoholic fermentation | anaerobic respiration which produces alcohol as a byproduct
🗑
|
||||
| mitochondria | where cellular respiration takes place
🗑
|
||||
| chloroplast | where photosynthesis takes place
🗑
|
||||
| energy (ATP) | needed by all life to maintain homeostasis
🗑

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
To hide a column, click on the column name.
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
