Across
- 2. The process where a molecule binds to an enzyme and decreases its activity (can be competitive or non-competitive).
- 4. A period of reduced metabolic rate in an organism to survive adverse conditions.
- 6. Pathways that release energy by breaking down complex molecules into simpler ones.
- 7. An effect where a population is significantly reduced in size, leading to a loss of genetic diversity.
- 10. The process of copying a DNA sequence into a primary mRNA transcript.
- 11. A strategy used by animals to avoid metabolic adversity by moving to a more suitable environment.
- 12. The product of fermentation in animal cells when oxygen is absent.
- 16. An organism that uses metabolism to maintain its internal environment at a steady state.
- 18. A triplet of bases on a tRNA molecule that is complementary to a specific mRNA codon.
- 19. Coding regions of mRNA that are joined together to form the mature transcript.
- 20. A short strand of nucleotides which binds to the 3' end of the template DNA strand allowing DNA polymerase to add nucleotides.
- 22. Behaviour that harms the donor individual but benefits the recipient.
- 23. Repetitive, purposeless movements used as a behavioural indicator of poor animal welfare.
- 24. Units consisting of a deoxyribose sugar, a phosphate group, and a base.
- 26. Metabolic pathways that require energy to build up complex molecules from simpler ones.
- 27. Term describing the opposite orientation of the two strands in a DNA molecule.
- 28. The use of genome information in the choice of drugs and personal medicine.
Down
- 1. Describes embryonic stem cells that can differentiate into all cell types that make up the organism.
- 3. The first stage of cellular respiration where glucose is broken down into pyruvate in the cytoplasm.
- 5. Accessory pigments that absorb light from other regions of the spectrum and pass the energy to chlorophyll.
- 8. A symbiotic relationship where one species benefits (the parasite) while the other is harmed (the host).
- 9. An organism whose internal environment is dependent upon its external environment.
- 11. A symbiotic relationship where both species benefit from the interaction.
- 12. Enzyme used to join fragments of DNA together on the lagging strand.
- 13. The main photosynthetic pigment that absorbs red and blue light.
- 14. The process by which green plants trap light energy to produce carbohydrates.
- 15. An individual produced by crossing two different inbred lines to yield a more vigorous offspring.
- 17. Non-coding regions of the primary mRNA transcript that are removed during splicing.
- 21. A random change to the DNA sequence
- 25. A negatively charged particle that that yields energy as it passes through the electron transport chain
