use light as a source of energy, but can't make sugars from carbon dioxide, so they require complex organic molecules too Chemoautotrophs use some form of inorganic chemicals (H2, H2S, NH3) as an energy source chemoheterotrophs require complex organic molecules which serve as a source of en...
A complex molecule containing the genetic information that makes up the chromosomes. RNA (ribonucleic acid) a nucleic acid that translates the code stored in DNA, which makes possible the synthesis of proteins nucleotides Basic units of DNA molecule, composed of a sugar, a phosphate, and one of...
synthesis of an RNA molecule from a DNA template initiation transcription factors adhere to the TATA box in the promoter signaling RNA polymerase II to attach. additional transcription factors attach and the transcription initiation complex is formed. enhancers/silencers ...

Breaking down complex molecules by the chemical addition of water... removing phosphate hydrolysis phosphorylation . The metabolic process of introducing a phosphate group into an organic molecule. phosphorylation main energy currency molecule in nearly all cells -two...
cell join smaller organic molecules together to form larger molecules polymers chains of monomers carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids for chain-like molecules called polymers dehydration reaction condensation reaction in which a molecule of water is lost hydrolysis reaction chemical reaction that util...
C Amino acids are organic molecules that contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, so eliminate (A), (B), and (D). Don't forget to associate amino acids with nitrogen because of the amino group (NH2). Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of bacteria?A. Circular double...
CO2 is reduced into what molecule after the reactions of Photosynthesis? - Glucose What is the definition of fermentation, aerobic respiration, and anaerobic respiration? - Fermentation is partial degradation of sugars that occurs without O2.- Aerobic respiration consumes organic molecules and O2 and ...
