1
A molecule that is formed during cellular energy release when an ATP molecule loses a phosphate group, and can be converted back to ATP by the addition of a phosphate group and energy.
2
A comparable physical structure (e.g., bat wing, whale fin) found in different organisms, developing from the same type of embryonic tissues, with a similar structure originating from a common ancestor of the species.
3
A macromolecule in living organisms that is composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen and functions to provide energy and structural materials for cells.
4
A diverse group of different organisms in a given ecosystem or region at a specific time.
5
The division of cytoplasm into two daughter cells during cell division, generally occurring during telophase.
6
A characteristic that can improve an organism’s ability to survive and reproduce in its environment.
7
A monomer or “building block” of a protein.
8
A single-celled or multi-celled organism containing cells with a membrane-bound nucleus and usually other specialized membrane-bound organelles.
9
A substance that accelerates the rate of a chemical reaction by decreasing the activation energy of the reaction without being changed by the reaction (e.g., enzyme).
10
Short, hair-like structures that extend from the cell membrane in some eukaryotic cells and function in cell movement or in moving liquid and other matter past the surface of the cell (singular: cilium).
