					  What is water?					 
					
					 The only substance that commonly exists on Earth in solid, liquid and gas form at the same time. 
					 | 
				
				
						
					 
					  What is a phospholipid?					 
					
					 Endoplasmic Reticulum, Golgi body and cell membrane are all made of this molecule. 
					 | 
				
				
						
					 
					  What is photosynthesis?					 
					
					 Process that removes carbon from the atmosphere and moves it into the biosphere. 
					 | 
				
				
						
					 
					  What is asexual reproduction?					 
					
					 Desert whiptail lizards create offspring in this manner, creating clones of themselves. 
					 | 
				
				
						
					 
					  What is Interphase?					 
					
					 The longest part of the cell cycle, where DNA replication occurs. 
					 | 
						
| 
						
					 
					  What are enzymes?					 
					
					 RNA and proteins that can lower the activation energy of chemical reactions. 
					 | 
				
				
						
					 
					  What are adjacent cells?					 
					
					 Desmosomes, tight junctions and gap junctions all connect these. 
					 | 
				
				
						
					 
					  What is respiration?					 
					
					 Has both aerobic and anaerobic components to this metabolic process. 
					 | 
				
				
						
					 
					  What is a growth factor?					 
					
					 Binds to a receptor which activates transcription factors. 
					 | 
				
				
						
					 
					  What is protein-kinase?					 
					
					 This type of receptor adds phosphates to proteins changing the activity of the enzyme. 
					 | 
						
| 
						
					 
					  What is a condensation reaction?					 
					
					 Chemical reaction that combines monomers into a polymer releasing water. 
					 | 
				
				
						
					 
					  What is osmosis?					 
					
					 Movement of water from a hypotonic area to a hypertonic area. 
					 | 
				
				
						
					 
					  What is the electron transport chain?					 
					
					 The only shared process of the both respiration and photosynthesis creating ATP. 
					 | 
				
				
						
					 
					  What is the mitosis checkpoint?					 
					
					 This checkpoint makes sure that metaphase has moved chromosomes appropriately. 
					 | 
				
				
						
					 
					  What is anaphase?					 
					
					 Sister chromatids separate and are pulled to opposite poles. 
					 | 
						
| 
						
					 
					  What are lipids?					 
					
					 Steroids have a backbone of this macromolecule. 
					 | 
				
				
						
					 
					  What are passive transport processes?					 
					
					 Diffusion, facilitated diffusion and osmosis. 
					 | 
				
				
						
					 
					  What is increasing the surface area inside the organelle?					 
					
					 The advantage of cristae in mitochondria and thylakoids in chloroplasts. 
					 | 
				
				
						
					 
					  What is cytokinesis?					 
					
					 New cell wall material forms to separate two new plant cells. 
					 | 
				
				
						
					 
					  What is lactase?					 
					
					 The enzyme that breaks down milk sugar. 
					 | 
						
| 
						
					 
					  What is a phosphodiester bond?					 
					
					 The bond that forms between a 5' phosphate of one nucleotide and the 3' hydroxyl of the next nucleotide. 
					 | 
				
				
						
					 
					  What is an inhibitor?					 
					
					 Prevents the normal ligand from binding to a receptor site. 
					 | 
				
				
						
					 
					  What is reduction?					 
					
					 Addition of hydrogens, and electrons, to a molecule. 
					 | 
				
				
						
					 
					  What are cyclins?					 
					
					 Proteins that activate or inactivate target proteins that regulate the cell cycle. 
					 | 
				
				
						
					 
					  What is a base?					 
					
					 The nitrogen-containing part of a nucleotide.
