| Term | Definition |
|---|
| Photosynthesis | takes place in chloroplast with the green pigment chlorophyll |
| What are the reactants in photosythesis? | carbon dioxide (6CO2) + water (H2O) |
| What are the products in photosynthesis? | Glucose (C6H12O6) + oxygen (6O2) |
| Where does the breakdown of foo (glucose) to release energy (ATP) occur? | mitochondrion |
| In aerobic cellular respiration, what are the reactants? | glucose (C6H12O6) + oxygen(6O20 |
| What are the products in cellular respiration? | Carbon dioxide (6CO2) + water 6H2O) + energy (36ATP |
| aerobic | O2 |
| anaerobic | no O2, fermentation (yeast- alcohol; animal/muscle (lactic acid) |
| enzyme | protein that speeds up reaction without being changed itself |
| substrate | what an enzyme works on |
| "ase" | indicates an enzyme, for example catalase, lactase |
| covalent bonding | sharing electrons |
| carbon compounds | CH4, C6H12O6, C6H2O |
| water | polar covalent (unequal sharing) |
| ionic | transfer of electrons + - |
| Gel electrophoresis | separating DNA into differnt sized fragments "DNA fingerprinting" or DNA profiling |
| Pedigree | family history chart |
| karyotype | photo of chromosomes lined up in order of size |
| female | XX |
| male | XY |
| If the DNA sequence is ATTGCA on one side what would be the complementary bases? | TAACGT |
| RNA | made of nucleotides baseses are A-U and C-G |
| If the DNA is ATTCGA, what would be the mRNA? | UAAGCU |
| Name the 6 Classifications | Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species |
| 5 Kingdoms | Monera ( sometimes dividded into Eubacteria and Archaebacteria,, Protist, Fungi, Plantae, Animalia |
| Monera | prodaryotic, bacteria, no nucleus |
| Protist | algae (plant-like), catch-all kingdom,Protozoans (animal like), slime and water molds (fungi-like) |
| Fungi | heterotrpohic, hyphae filaments; mass of mycelium, cell walls of chitin; decomposers, absorbs food |
| Plantae | multicellular, autotrophic, photosynthetic; cell walls of cellulose, organelles specisl to plants- cell wall, large centriole, vacuole, chloroplast with chlorophyll |
| Animalia | heterotrophic; multicellular |
| Phylums of Animalia | Porifera (sponge), Crideria (jellyfish), Nematra (roundworm), Dunnelida (segmented worm), Platyhelminthes (Flatworm), Mollusca (clam snail, squid), Echinodermata (starfish), Arthropoda (insect, crustaceans,arachnid), chordata only vertebrates |
| Plants / NonVasular | (mosses, small, need water for reproduction, no vasular tissue |
| Plants/Vasular | tracheophytes , have xylem and phloem Seedless (ferns, spores), seed plants (gymnosperm (naked seeds, cones, pine, spruce, fir), Angiosperms (flowering- monscot (grasses), dicot (oaks, roses) |
| xylem | minerals and water from roots |
| phloem | sugar from leaves |
| tundra | near North Pole permafrost; very cold and dry |
| Coniferous Forest (boreal and taiga) | cold, okay |
| Temperate Deciduous Forest | Mississippi |
| Savanna | African grassland |
| Tropical Rainforest | most diverse species near equator |
