NGSS.HS-LS1-7

The process of copying an RNA molecule from a DNA molecule.

• Transcription

• Translation

• Replication

• Mutation

These rely on other living things for energy since they cannot make their own food.

• Heterotroph

• Autotroph

• Producer

• Decomposer

NGSS.MS-LS2-3

Serves as the building blocks of proteins.

• Amino Acid

• Carbohydrate

• Lipid

• Nucleotide

NGSS.HS-LS1-1

NGSS.HS-LS1-6

The complementary nitrogenous bases that connect the two halves of a DNA molecule.

• Base Pair

• Amino Acid

• Peptide Bond

• Phosphate Group

These contain a phosphate group, sugar, and base. They are the building block of information molecules like DNA.

• Nucleotide

• Amino Acid

• Lipid

• Carbohydrate

The phase of metabolism that breaks down molecules and releases energy.

• Catabolism

• Anabolism

• Metabolism

• Photosynthesis

NGSS.HS-LS1-7

This nitrogenous base is only found in RNA.

• Uracil

• Adenine

• Cytosine

• Guanine

These organisms produce their own food.

• Autotroph

• Heterotroph

• Decomposer

• Parasite
