Term
| What is an autotrophic organisim? |
|
Definition
| organisim that produces organic molecules by acquiring carbon from inorganic sources - primary producer |
|
|
Term
| what is a Heteratrophic organisim? |
|
Definition
| organisim that obtains carbon by eating another organisim - consumer |

Term
| How did photosynthesis change this earth? |
|
Definition
~decreased CO2 in the atmosphere
~lowered global temps
~added new waste product (oxygen)
~allowed evolution of aerobic respiration |
|

Term
| what is cellular respiration? |
|
Definition
| breakdown of glucose to carbon dioxide & water |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
a metabolic pathway occuring in the cytoplasim of all cells
one molecule of glucose splits into two molecules of pyruvate |
|
|
Term
| 3 main steps of cellular respiration? & where they occur... |
|
Definition
glycolosis in cytoplasm
krebs cycle in mitochondria
electron transport chain |
|
|
Term
| what is the calvin cycle? |
|
Definition
| metabolic pathway in which CO2 is fixed & incorporated into glucose |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| stage in cellular respiration that completely oxidizes the products of glycolosis |
|
|
Term
| how is adenosine triphosphate (ATP)produced in the mitochondria? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| what is needed for glycolosis to take place? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| How does fermentation create ATP? |
|
Definition
| In fermentation ATP only comes from glycolosis. Fermentative cells use NADH from glycolysis to reduce pyruvate & regenerate NAD which allws glycolysis to continue |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| metabolic pathway in the cytoplasm in which NADH from glycolosis reduces pyruvate |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| sequence of DNA that codes for a specific protein or RNA molecule |
|
|
Term
| if given a single strand of DNA, how would you know what its complimentary strand would be? |
|
Definition
adenine pairs with thymine
cytosine pairs with guanine |
|
|
Term
| what is a mutation in DNA |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| how do nucleotides pair together in a DNA sequence? |
|
Definition

|
Term
| what is apoptosis & why would something take its palce? |
|
Definition
cell death
allows to restructure & form
(frog doens't have tail from tadpole- cancer cells peel away from sunburnt skin) |
|
|
Term
| what is the process of cellular reproduction? |
|
Definition
late interphase - cell checks for compelte DNA reproduction
prophase - chromosomes consence becaome visible. spindle apparatus forms.
prometaphase - nuclear envelope fragments. spindle fibres attach to kinetochores
metaphase - chromosomes align along equator of cell
anaphase - sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles of cell
telophase - nuclear membranes assemble around 2 daughter nuclei. Chromosomes decondense. Spindle disappears.
cytokinesis - division of the cytoplasm into 2 cells |
