New cards
17

active site

The area in which the enzyme binds with the substrate is called the ________.

New cards
18

19

Salivary amylase

New cards
20

enzyme-substrate

When the enzyme and substrate come together, they form the ___________ complex. (The enzyme can only form this complex with a specific substrate, or sometimes with a few similar substrates)

New cards
21

Catalase

________ is also produced in high quantities in the blood, where oxygen- rich red blood cells produce a lot of hydrogen peroxide.

New cards
22

the substance with which the enzyme reacts is \n called what?

the substrate. (Enzymes bind (come together) with the substrate at \n specific regions and only with a particular substrate)

New cards
23

Adding more enzyme will ______ the speed \n of the reaction and lessening the amount of enzyme will _____ the reaction down.

increase; slow

New cards
24

Cells that use oxygen to make energy build up ___ __, a chemical which can be toxic and even fatal to the cells if produced in excess

hydrogen peroxide

New cards
25

All Eukaryotes (including all plants and animals) use oxygen, so they all must also produce _____. \n

catalase

New cards
26

Most bacteria don't produce _, so they can't defend themselves against ____. It makes an excellent anti-bacterial cleaner for your cuts

catalase;hydrogen peroxide

New cards
27

You will be using _____ as a source of catalase \n and measuring the amount of bubbles produced when you mix it with hydrogen peroxide

potato juice

New cards
28

what are the two types of cells in most eukaryotic organisms

somatic cells and gametes

New cards
29

___ make up the majority of the body parts such as skin, muscles, and organs

somatic cells

New cards
30

gamete

specialized cell designed to join another gamete during sexual reproduction

New cards
31

in animals and plants, gametes are

sperm and egg cells

New cards
32

what phase of the cell cycle is when cells do not divide

interphase

New cards
33

what are the different parts of the interphase phase

G1-the cell grows and gathers energy nutrients S-cell duplicated each chromosome G2-the cell grows a little more

New cards
34

cells can use how many phases to divide? what are they

mitosis and meiosis

New cards
35

mitosis

the nucleus and duplicated chromosomes of one cell are divided evenly between two new cells (clone of og cell)

New cards
36

this process is used to generate new somatic cells and how we grow

mitosis

New cards
37

an adult does not have larger cells than a child, the adult has what:

the adult has more cells

New cards
38

what are the 5 phases of mitosis

1-prophase(chromosomes condense) 2-prometaphase(nuclear envelope disappears) 3-metaphase(chromosomes line up) 4-anaphase(sister chromatids separate) 5-telophase(nucleus envelope reforms)

New cards
39

what phase of mitosis is shown in the picture

prophase

New cards
40

what phase of mitosis is shown in the picture

prometaphase

New cards
41

what phase of mitosis is shown in the picture

metaphase

New cards
42

what phase of mitosis is shown in the picture

anaphase

New cards
43

what phase of mitosis is shown in the picture

telophase

New cards
44

cytogenesis is an event that happens during with phases?

anaphase or telophase (In the first Fish picture, you can see the end of cytokinesis, yet the nuclei are just barely reforming (early telophase). In the \n second, cytokinesis has just barely begun, yet the nuclei have almost finished reforming (late telophase). \n To repeat the note above, cytokinesis is an event that happens during anaphase or telophase. It isn't a phase of mitosis. It isn't a phase that follows mitosis. It is only an event and does not define any phase of mitosis

New cards
45

sexual reproduction

combining information from two different organisms to create a new, unique member of the species

New cards
46

organisms undergo “what” to halve the amount of DNA prior to sexual reproduction?

meiosis

New cards
47

____ chromosomes contain the same genes(such as hair color) but can contain different varieties of each gene(blonde vs black)

homologous

New cards
48

Example - You have 46 chromosomes. You received 23 from your mother and the same 23 from your father (though with different varieties on each, such as black and blonde hair color). You have \n 23 x 2 = 46. Each pair counts as a ____

homologous pair

New cards
49

diploid

a cell that had two of each chromosome

New cards
50

haploid

a cell that only has one of each chromosome

New cards
51

meiosis is the process of doing what?

taking diploid cells and creating haploid cells (If you combine two haploid cells (one from each parent), you now have a diploid cell again. Example- Humans have 46 chromosomes (23 x 2). During meiosis, we cut that number to 23 (23 x1). During fertilization (egg meets sperm), the baby gets 23 + 23 = 46. The new human has 46 justlike all humans. If we hadn't done meiosis, the baby would have gotten 46 + 46 = 92!)

New cards
52

in animals, the process of ___ is also how we create gametes(sperm and egg)

meiosis

New cards
53

the purpose of meiosis

is to make haploid cells from diploid cells.

New cards
54

(3)_ usually separate meiosis (becoming haploid) from making gametes (performing sexual reproduction)

plants,fungi, and protists

New cards
55

To engage in meiosis, a cell must first pass through _____ as normal (including replicating the DNA).

Interphase

New cards
56

in meiosis, a cell engages in two rounds of nuclear division called :

Meiosis I and Meiosis II.

New cards
57

meiosis 1 steps

Prophase 1: Homologous chromosomes pair up and exchange genetic material through crossing over.Prometaphase 1: nuclear envelope dissapearsMetaphase 1: Homologous pairs line up at the center of the cell.Anaphase 1: Homologous chromosomes separate and move to opposite poles of the cell.Telophase 1: Two haploid daughter cells are formed, each with one chromosome from each homologous pair.Meiosis 1 reduces the chromosome number from diploid to haploid.Meiosis 1 is preceded by interphase, during which DNA is replicated.

New cards
58

_____ is identical to a second round of mitosis. The cell goes through prophase II, prometaphase II, metaphase II, anaphase II, and telophase II

Meiosis II
