biology

Interphase

The stage of the cell cycle during which the number of mitochondria increases in a cell.

Rate of Photosynthesis

Can be measured using  and  only.

Chlorophyll response to light colors

Red: absorbs; Green: reflects; Blue: absorbs.

Anaerobic processes producing CO2

Ethanol (alcohol) fermentation.

Final product of aerobic respiration

Ethanol, which takes place inside cells.

Cell respiration definition

A controlled release of energy in the production of food from organic compounds.

Photosynthesis activity in plants

Often reduced in the middle of the day due to stomata closing to preserve water.

Hydrogen bonds

Connect hydrogen to oxygen between two different water molecules.

Chemical symbol for cellular respiration

C6H12O6 > 6O2 > 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP.

Source of oxygen in photosynthesis

Water.

Variable affecting enzyme activity

Light intensity has the least effect on enzyme activity.

Synthesis

The production of chemical compounds by reaction to form something new.

Cell theory contributions

All living organisms are composed of cells; all cells come from pre-existing cells; cells are the smallest unit of life.

Structure of cell membrane

Maintained mainly by phospholipids.

Difference between simple and facilitated diffusion

Simple diffusion uses any part of the membrane; facilitated diffusion uses channels in the membrane.

Central dogma of genetics

The principle that genetic information flows from DNA to RNA to protein.

Cohesion

The ability of water molecules sticking together.

Importance of water in sweat

Helps control body temperature.

Molecular formula of sucrose

C12H22O11.

Protein found in connective tissue

Collagen.

Protein involved with eyesight

Rhodopsin.

General name for proteins on pathogens

Antigen.

Enzyme function

It helps speed up metabolism.

Example of an enzyme

Lipase.
