Biology

1. the process by which a copy of DNA is made by separating the two strands and building a complementary strand on each of the original strands
3. a living organism whose cell or cells contain nuclei and membrane-bound organelles
5. cycle the sequence of events that result in cell growth and ultimately the division into two daughter cells
6. a type of biomolecule that performs many functions in the cell, including energy storage and cell membrane structure
8. a unicellular, living organism that lacks a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles
9. the process by which light energy is used to make sugars (chemical energy) and produce oxygen from carbon dioxide and water
10. the process of nuclear division, that along with cytokinesis produces two genetically identical daughter cells
12. a nonliving, infectious agent that cannot reproduce without a host, obtain or use energy, or respond to the environment
13. a disease characterized by uncontrolled cell division, caused by a failure to regulate cell cycle mechanisms and checkpoints

1. nucleic acid, which is self-replicating and contains the code to make all proteins needed by an organism
2. a type of biomolecule that performs many functions in the cell, including providing energy and structural support
4. the process where organisms convert glucose (chemical energy) and oxygen into ATP (chemical energy) and release carbon dioxide and water as waste
7. a type of biomolecule that performs many functions throughout an organism, including providing structure and facilitating chemical reactions
11. a type of biomolecule that includes DNA and RNA, which store and transmit genetic information
