a version of a gene

a zygote consists of a single cell, whereas and embryo is multicellular

blood flows from the colon to the liver

carcinogen

active transport requires

cellular energy, usually in the form of ATP

the two sister chromatids of a single chromosome are held together by a

centromere

during the process of photosynthesis, plants capture the kinetic energy of moving photons and transform it into potential energy in the form of

chemical (carbon) bonds

The leaf color of a certain plant is controlled by one gene. For that gene, the allele G = orange and g = green. You have a plant with orange leaves, but do not know whether that plant's genotype is GG or Gg. Which of the following would help you determine the plant's genotype?

cross the plant to a plant with a green leaves

glycolysis occurs in a cell's

cytosol

the ultimate source of the oxygen used by all aerobic organisms comes from a reaction that

degrades carbon dioxide

the energy required for life processes must be extracted from an organism's

environment

a tumor that has gained the ability to spread throughout the body, generally with life-threading consequences, is know as ____ tumor

gametes are produced by meiosis rather that mitosis because

meiosis reduces the number of chromosomes so that the zygotes resulting from fertilization will have one full genome consisting of a diploid number of chromosomes

pyruvate

in what way does a human cell differ from a human gamete

somatic cells differentiate into at least 220 cell types, whereas there are only two types of gametes

Photosynthetic organisms capture energy from sunlight and convert it into chemical bonds by forming

sugars

the outcome of the Calvin cycle is the

synthesis of sugars like glucose, fructose, and sucrose

the second law of thermodynamics

systems tent to become more disorderly over time

most of the reactions that allow NADH to pick up electrons in a cell and carry them tot ETC take place in

the Krebs cycle

If exposure to sunlight causes a mutation in a single proto-oncogene in a diploid cell so that it becomes hyperactive, then

the cell might produce a protein that pushed it into rapid cell division

the inner membranes of both mitochondria and chloroplasts are folded into various arrangements. what is the advantage of having a folded membrane rather than a simple interior membrane that follows the same oval shape as the exterior membrane

the folds allow for more surface area for the chemical reactions that occur across the inner membranes

Enzymes can catalyze a reaction only if

they encounter a substrate that fits their active site

during anaphase, daughter chromosomes do which of the following things

they move toward opposite spindle poles

the light capturing pigment of photosynthesis like chlorophyll are contained in the membrane of a structure known as a

thylakoid

the photosynthetic reactions that re dependent on light occur in the

thylakoid membrane

a tall plant mates with itself and produced all tall offspring. this cross is repeated for many generations with the same results. the parental plant is most likely

true-breeding

which of the following expresses menders law of segregation

two copies of a gene separate during meiosis and end up win different gametes

Imagine two solutions separated by a selectively permeable membrane that is impermeable to glucose. on one side of the membrane, solution a contains 10 percent of glucose and on the other side, solution b contains 25 percent glucose

who is homozygous for the recessive allele

is it possible for two organisms with the same genotype to have different phenotypes

yes; the expression of the genotype can be affected by the environment
