Term
Aerobic Respiration
Definition
Respiration using oxygen, which creates 38 ATP. Occurs in the mitochondria and the cytoplasm.
Term
Anaerobic Respiration
Definition
Does not use oxygen to create ATP but it only creates 2 ATP. This occurs in the cytoplasm only.
Term
Compare Aerobic and Anaerobic Respiration
Definition
Both produce ATP for cell energy. Glycolysis is a part of this and it occurs in the cytoplasm.
Term
Where does Glycolysis occur?
Definition
Cytopasm
Term
Where does the Kreb's cycle occur?
Definition
Mitochondrial fluid
Term
Oxidative Phosphorylation
Definition
Cristae
Term
Synapsis
Definition
Genetics the association side by side of homologous maternal and paternal paired chromosomes in the early stages of meiosis.
Term
Turner Syndrome
Definition
Turner syndrome is a birth defect caused by the absence of an X chromosome in some or all cells of a female, which inhibits sexual development and usually causes infertility.
Term
Sarcoma
Definition
Cancers that arise in tissues that support the body, such as bone and muscle.
Term
Radiation
Definition
High-energy radiation to shrink or kill cancer cells.
Term
Melanoma
Definition
A dark-pigmented benign or malignant tumor that arises from a melanocyte and occurs most commonly in the skin. Malignant melanoma metastasizes quickly and is associated with sun exposure.
Term
Leukemia
Definition
Cancer of the blood-forming tissues. This results in excessive white blood cell. This is also cancer of the bone marrow cells hat produce leukocytes.
Term
Klinefelter's Syndrome
Definition
Klinefelter syndrome is a chromosome disorder in males that results in hypogonadism (small penis and small firm testicles). People with this condition are born with at least one extra X chromosome. (XXY)
Term

A human genetic disease resulting from having an extra chromosome 21, characterized by mental retardation and heart and respiratory defects.
