This is the smallest particle of an element that can retain the properties

of that element.

What is an atom?

5

This is the type of bond formed when two atoms share a pair of electrons.

What is covalent?

10

This is any atom that has lost or gained electrons and therefore

carries a charge?

15What is an ion?

We say a molecule has been reduced if it has done this.

What is gain electrons?

20

Because the electrons of hydrogen and oxygen atoms in a water molecule are

not shared equally, the molecule is described by this term?

25What is polar?

All organic compounds contain this element.

5What is carbon?

Sugar, cellulose and glycogen are three examples of this type of

organic compound.

What is a carbohydrate?

10

Saturated fats, cholesterol, and earwax are three examples of this

type of organic compound.

What is a lipid?

15

This type of protein controls the rate of chemical reactions in a living

organism.

What are enzymes?

20

The formation of ADP and inorganic phosphate from ATP and water is

an example of this type of chemical reaction.

What is a hydrolysis reaction?

25

These simple cells are the only example of prokaryotic

cells.

5What are bacteria?

In most eukaryotic cells, their supply of ATP is produced in this

cell structure.

What is the mitochondria?

10

Ribosomes make these very important molecules.

What are proteins?

15

In addition to the nucleus, these two cell structures also contain their own

DNA.What are mitochondria

and chloroplasts?

20

These organelles package and distribute proteins.

What are the Golgi bodies?

25

What is diffusion?

5

Small molecules such as oxygen move into a cell through this process.

What is osmosis?

10

Water moves into or out of a cell by this process.

What is pyruvic acid? 15

Two molecules of this substance are produced by

glycolysis and are then converted into acetyl coA.

During cellular respiration, electrons are donated to the electron transport chain by these two electron carrying

molecules.What is FADH2 and NADH?

20

Chemiosmosis in the thylakoid membrane is directly responsible for

producing this molecule.

What is ATP?

25

Who is Gregor Mendel?

5

This man is known as the “Father of Modern

Genetics”.

A genetic trait that appears in every generation of offspring is described

as this.

What is dominant?

10

This is a change in a gene due to damage or incorrect copying.

What is a mutation?

15

This would be the blood type of a person who inherited a B

allele from one parent and an O allele from the other.

What is type B?

20

What is the probability that the offspring of a homozygous dominant individual and a

homozygous recessive individual will exhibit the dominant

phenotype?

What is 100%?
