  1. 6. in genetics this is an organisms physical appearance; this is what we see or what is exhibited by the organism;
  2. 9. biomolecule associated with fats. oils, and waxes; necessary to build cell membranes and for insulation and can even provide energy
  3. 10. often times mistaken for cell division or when a cell splits; actually brother it's when the nucleus divides in two; M Phase gets its name from this cellular process
  4. 11. the monomer unit for a nucleic acid; has three parts - a nitrogenous base, a phosphate group, and a five carbon sugar
  5. 13. this is health issue that arises from uncontrolled cell division;
  6. 14. of the two types of cell types that life exists as, this type is much more complex; the kingdoms plantae, animalia, Protista, and fungi all belong to this group
  7. 16. where the cell stores its DNA in an eukaryote; prokaryotes lack (do not have) this organelle
  8. 17. in genetics this is what causes the physical appearance of an organism BUT remains hidden; the allelic designation for an organism

  1. 1. the first step in protein synthesis; when you create an mRNA molecule from a DNA template strand; this step occurs in the nucleus
  2. 2. biomolecule that is your primary source of energy; simply known as sugars and made at the end of photosynthesis
  3. 3. site of cellular respiration; organelle that makes ATP; the "powerhouse" of the cell
  4. 4. this type of organism eats "dead" or decaying biological matter; considered a heterotroph but given a very unique name based on the debris it eats
  5. 5. most underrated biological process ever!!!; turns light, gas, and a liquid, into chemical energy in the form of sugars (carbohydrates)and releases oxygen as a by-product; performed by plants and other organisms that utilize chloroplasts
  6. 7. biological catalysts; they lower the activation energy of a chemical reaction thereby speeding them up
  7. 8. version of a gene or variant of a gene; if a gene codes for a certain trait these are the "types/kinds/variations" of genes for that trait
  8. 12. this type of heterotroph strictly eats meat; a polar bear is a type of bear that is this type of eater
  9. 15. organelle that all cells have, responsible for creating proteins; the site of translation in protein synthesis
