🗑
Logistic growth   for large animals: reaches a carrying capacity and stops increasing  
🗑
Exponential growth   for small animals: grows by a factor of x  
🗑
carrying capacity   the most animals of one species that an ecosystem can support  
🗑
Primary producers   plants. Make their own food  
🗑
herbivores   secondary consumers. Eat only plants  
🗑
carnivores   terciary consumers. Eat only animals.  
🗑
omnivores   terciary consumers. Eat both plants and animals  
🗑
decomposers   eat dead plants and animals  
🗑
food web   a representation of the different ways animals are connected by food in an ecosystem  
🗑
pyramid of energy   shows all of the trophic levels  
🗑
predatation   hunt for own food  
🗑
parasitism   one creature benefits while the other is harmed  
🗑
mutualism   both creatures are benefited  
🗑
commensalism   neither creature is benefited nor harmed  
🗑
keystone species   a species on which an entire ecosystem depends  
🗑
exotic species   a species that is new to an ecosystem  
🗑
human population   is reaching carrying capacity  
🗑
monosaccharides   single molecule sugars: glucose

polysaccharides   many molecule sugars: starch  
🗑
monomer of carbohydrates   monosaccharides  
🗑
monomer of lipids   fatty acids  
🗑
monomer of proteins   amino acids  
🗑
monomer of nucleic acids   nucleotides  
🗑
condesation reaction   makes water  
🗑
hydrolysis   requires water  
🗑
structure of enzymes   3D; have an active site; are special proteins  
🗑
function of enzymes   lower activation energy for a reaction: catalysts  
🗑
denature   when an enzymes active site is changed and can no longer function  
🗑
coenzymes   required to help enzymes  
🗑
plasma membrane   made up of phospholipids and proteins. Is selectively permeable.  
🗑
phospholipids   have a hydrophilic head and 2 hydrophobic tails  
🗑
cytoplasm   where all reactions in the cell take place  
🗑
ribosomes   make and transport proteins  
🗑
cytoskeleton   keeps the cells shape  
🗑
nucleus   brain of the cell  
🗑
smooth ER   makes fats and breaks down toxins  
🗑
rough ER   associated with ribosomes. Proteins travel through this  
🗑
golgi bodies/apparatus/complex   processes and packages proteins  
🗑
lysosome   digests and recycles waste and dead organelles  
🗑
vesicle   a membrane bound sac that transports large molecules  
🗑
mitochondria   produces energy in form of ATP  
🗑
cell wall   wall of a cell: solid  
🗑
chloroplasts   where photosynthesis takes place  
🗑
vacuole   where water; food; and waste are stored  
🗑
eukaryotic cells   """true nucleus"". Has a nucleus"  
🗑
prokaryotic cells   """before nucleus"". Has no nucleus or many organelles. Circular DNA"  
🗑
facilitated diffusion   happens with channel or carrier proteins. Requires no energy  
🗑
active transport   endocytosis and exocytosis. Requires energy  
🗑
endocytosis   bringing molecules into the cell  
🗑
exocytosis   transports molecules out of the cell  
🗑
ATP   the molecule used for energy by eukaryotic cells  
🗑
Endergonic reactions   use energy  
🗑
Exogonic reactions   release energy  
🗑
Glygolysis   anaerobic: yeilds lactic acid breaks down glucose. GLUCOSE --> ATP+NADH+PYRUVATE  
🗑
fermentation   anaerobic:yeilds ethanol  
🗑
cellular respiration   glycolysis; krebs cycle; electron transport chain  
🗑
Krebs Cycle   PYRUVATE --> NADH=FADH2+ATP  
🗑
Electron Transport Chain   NADH+FADH2 --> ATP  
🗑
Calvin Cycle   ATP --> GLUCOSE  
🗑
Light Dependant Reactions   LIGHT --> ATP  
🗑
Hypertonic   the cell has more of a substance than the solution so it will shrink  
🗑
Hypotonic   the cell has less of a substance than the solution so it will swell  
🗑
Isotonic   the cell has the same amount of a substance than the solution so it will stay the same size  
🗑
chemical formula for cellular respiration   C6H12O6+6O2 --> 6H2O+6CO2+ATP  
🗑
chemical formula for photosynthesis   6H2O+6CO2+ Light --> C6H12O6+6O2  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
