Are steriods fat based? | Yes |
what does the nucleus do? | control center of the brain |
What is transcription? | process that involves the transcribing of genetic information from DNA to RNA. |
What is translation? | process by which a protein is synthesized from the information contained in a molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA) |
What is central dogma? | The central dogma of molecular biology deals with the detailed residue-by-residue transfer of sequential information. It states that information cannot be transferred back from protein to either protein or nucleic acid. |

Do prokaryotics have a nucleus? | Nope. |
What does the mitochondria do? | Produces ATP |
Does the mitochondria have its own DNA sequence? | Yes. |
Are plants eukaryotes? | Yes. |
Does chloroplast have its own DNA? | Yes |
What makes a nucleotide? | Sugar, adenosine, phosphate |
What are the nitrogenous bases that makes up the DNA sequence? | ATCG |
Is Uracil used in DNA? | No, RNA |
What is diffusion? | is the process of passively(without loss of energy) movement of any substance from higher concentration to the lower concentration of that substance. |
What is simple diffusion? | is the net movement of substances from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration so its simple diffusion does not require energy therefore it is 'passive', substances are diffused across the membrane between the phospholipids. |
What is facilitated diffusion? | Uses protein for high to low |
What is a concentration gradient? | A concentration gradient is when there is an uneven distribution of a substance across a border. |
Does active transport require energy? | Yes. |
What is cilia? | Moves and circulates things |

What is Gyrase? | RNA polymearse |
What brings an amino acid into the ribosome? | tRNA |
What contains the genetic code? | mRNA |
What is a codon? | A sequence of three nucleotide which together form a unit of genetic code in a DNA or RNA molecule. |

What is Semi-conservative replication? | replicates the entire genome |
What is a lagging strand? | Happens in chunks |
What is a chromosome? | A threadlike strand of DNA in the cell nucleus that carries the genes in a linear order. Also it is known as tightly wound DNA. |
