Chapter 9
Aerobic vs. Anaerobic aerobic- requires oxygen anaerobic- does not require oxygen
Photosynthesis- process by which autotrophs produce simple sugars and oxygens from water and carbon dioxide by using energy absorbed from sunlight by chloroplasts Chlorophyll- traps sunlight Light Reaction- produces ATP and NADPH+ H+ Dark Reaction- produces glucose (must go through 6 cycles to produce glucose) NADP- hydrogen acceptor
Cellular Respiration- process by which food molecules are broken down to release energy Glycolysis- the first step (in the cytoplasm) - needs 2 ATP to start process Electron transport- most ATP Breaks down gluclose Hydrogen acceptors-NAD and FAD

ADP and ATP have sugar bases
Mitosis/Meiosis
Clevage Furrow vs. sfafDivision Plate Clevage Furrow- in animal cells; when the cell is separating, the dip between the 2 cells; divides from thefsda outside in Division Pasdflate- in plant cells; when the cell is separating, the wall thatfsa forms between the 2 cells; divides from the inside out
Chromosomes- hufdsaman body cell (46) human reproductive cell (23)
Mitosis- 2 cells in the end (1 parent and 1 new)
Meiosis- 2 divisionssfaas - sex cells
Interphase- DNA replication - takes up majority of the time
Prophase- nuclear breakdown - spindle forms
Metaphase- chromosomes line up across the center
Haploid vs. Diploid Haploid- contain one of each kind of chromosome (gametes- reproductive organ) Diploid- contains two of each kind of chromosome (body cells)
Genetics
Monohybrid- one heterozygous trait x same heterozygous one trait ex. het. tall x het. tall **always 3/4 dominant, 1/4 recessive
Dihybrid- 2 heterozygous traits x same 2 heterozygous traits ex. het. tall, het. green x het. tall, het. green **always 9:3:3:1
Trihybrid- 3 heterozygous traits x same 3 heterozygous traits ex. het. tall, het. green, het. axial x het. tall, het. green, het. axial **always 27sfd9:9:9:3:3:3:1
Know Blood Typing, Incomplete and Complete dominance gene interactions w/ onions, cattle, and ferrets

    Which means a Carbon atom can form chains and rings onto which other atoms can be attached, which leads to a formation of large number of different compounds. For example Fatty acids contain the COOH group which is attached to hydrocarbon chain or ring. Organic compounds always contain carbon along with other elements such as hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. Monosaccharides are the monomers of carbohydrates Example os carbohydrates are Alcohol, sugar, fat, protein etc..Most of the living organisms are made of Carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Carbohydrates use carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen. The examples of carbohydrates are sugar, starch, cellulose, and glycogen. Carbohydrates are source of energy in the living organisms. Proteins are the combination of Hydrogen, carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen. Amino acids are the building blocks of the proteins. The sequence of Amino acid in protein is defined by the sequence of a gene, which is encoded in genetic code. In general, genetic code specifies 20 standard amino acids. Examples of proteins are hemoglobin, which is found in red blood cells and carry oxygen to all the cells of body. Lipids are made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.…

    One type of nucleic acid is the ribonucleic acid (RNA). The RNA is single-stranded used for the coding of the primary sequence of amino acids to make proteins, and is found mainly in the cytoplasm. In terms of structure, its distinguishing characteristic is that, from its name, ribonucleic acid indicates the presence of ribose, a cyclic monosaccharide with an aldehyde functional group. Furthermore, RNA can also be differentiated from other nucleic acids in terms of organic or nitrogen-containing bases. There are five organic bases involved in the formation of nucleic acids, and they could be categorized as purines and pyrimidines. The two-carbon nitrogen ring bases, such as adenine and guanine, are purines, while the one-carbon nitrogen ring bases, such as uracil, thymine and cytosine, are pyrimidines. [3]…
