Across
- 3. the unfolding or breaking of a protein affected by increased heat or agitation and disables the protein from carrying out its functions
- 4. Water's special property, which allows it to climb up small tube-like surfaces enabled by its properties of cohesion and adhesion
- 6. The process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy to chemical energy in the form of sugars.
- 7. allows you to know if the variation of the data is due to chance or due to some other variable. It is used by comparing our critical value to our p-value
- 9. cells that have only a single set of chromosomes and are commonly reproductive sperm and egg cells
- 10. simple aromatic compound composed of carbon and nitrogen atoms in a six-membered ring.
- 12. Varies for every protein and decides the chemical versatility and folding of the amino acid. Some carry the amino acid's charge and can determine if it will be hydrophobic or hydrophilic
- 15. The measure of the relative tendency of water to move from one area to another
- 17. an operon that is turned on in the presence of more substrate, for example, the lac operon. The original state of these is repressed
- 18. Process mRNA goes through to make it mature and ready for translation. This includes intron splicing, adding a Poly-A tail, and a 5' cap
- 19. when a population is greatly reduced in size, limiting the genetic diversity of the species
Down
- 1. process in which ribosomes synthesize a polypeptide chain from the mRNA transcribed from DNA by matching codons to their corresponding amino acids
- 2. the chemical breakdown of a compound due to a reaction with water.
- 5. process all living organisms undergo to breakdown sugars and make energy, that will typically take place in the mitochondria
- 6. extrachromosomal DNA is usually found in and taken in by bacteria, where it can replicate independently of the cell's chromosomal DNA.
- 8. The part of the substrate where the enzyme binds
- 11. the breakdown of glucose by enzymes, releasing energy and pyruvic acid.
- 13. a principle stating that the genetic variation in a population will remain constant from one generation to the next in the absence of disturbing factors.
- 14. the outcome of miotic division. A cell with a complete set of DNA
- 16. the exchange of DNA between paired homologous chromosomes (one from each parent) that occurs during the development of egg and sperm cells (meiosis)
