  • Characteristics of Water
    • Polar
  • monomer
    building blocks of a larger molecule
  • polymer
    large molecule made of monomers
  • Carbohydrate
    contains C,H, and O in a 1:2:1 ratio
    made of Monosaccharides
  • protein
    made of amino acids
  • nucleic acids

    made of nucleotides (made of phosphate group, sugar, and nitrogenous base)- used for carrying and storing genetic information
  • lipids
    made of fatty acids
  • Flagella
    the "tail" of a cell that allows it to move from place to place
  • cilia
    the tiny hairs on the outside of a cell that allow it to move
  • eukaryote
    a cell that has a nucleus
  • prokaryote
    a cell that doesn't have a nucleus
  • bacteria cell

    an organism that is a prokaryote
  • cell membrane
    made up of phospholipids and proteins
  • hypertonic solution

    when water moves out of the cell
  • hypotonic solution
    water moves into the cell
  • isotonic
    water moves in and out of the cell at a constant rate
  • 6CO2 + 6H2O + sunlight -> C6H12O6 + 6O6

    what is the equation for photosythesis
  • carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight
    what are the reactants of photosynthesis
  • glucose and oxygen
    what are the products for photosythesis
  • chloroplast
    where in the cell does photosynthesis occur
  • C6H12+6O6-> 6CO2+ 6H2O+ 6O6
    What is the equation for respiration
  • glucose and oxygen
    what are the reactants for respiration
  • carbon dioxide, water, ATP

    what are the products of resperation
  • mitochondria
    where in the cell does respiration take place
  • interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase

    what is the order for mitosis
  • somatic cells

    what type of cells does mitosis occur in
  • identical body cells
    what does mitosis produce
  • interphase and cell divison
    the cell stage is made up of two stages:
  • G1, S, G2
    what are the 3 phases in interphase
  • phase S in interphase

    where is DNA copied?
  • sex cells

    what type of cells does meiosis occur in
  • gametes

    what does meiosis produce
  • replication
    the process where DNA is copied
  • mRNA
    takes the genetic code from the nucleus to the ribosomes
  • rRNA
    found in the ribosome. responsible for translation, as they work with polypeptide chains to link amino acids together.
  • tRNA
    brings amino acids to the ribosome to build protein
  • translation
    the process of making a protein from mRNA
  • ribosome
    where does translation occur
  • George Mendel

    the "father of genetics
    was a monk
    worked with pea plants
  • mutation
    a change in a gene
